Tea is more than a drink
—it’s a ritual of restoration, a moment to breathe, and a gateway to a more mindful life. At Upland Tea House, we blend the world’s finest loose-leaf rooibos with botanicals that nourish both body and soul. Each sip invites you to slow down, be present, and indulge in the richness of now.
Inspired by the serene richness of the Cederberg region and the timeless wisdom passed down through generations, our teas are designed to support balance, clarity, and joy. We believe in wellness without rules, where self-care is effortless, and tea is a companion in your most cherished moments—from sunrise stillness to sunset unwinding.

Sip Slow. Live Fully.
We believe that wellness isn’t a checklist—it’s a feeling. It’s the quiet pause before the day begins, the warmth of connection shared over a cup, the simple luxury of being present. Our tea is designed for those who seek balance, cherish beauty, and embrace the art of slowing down.
Rooted in both heritage and innovation, we source only the finest organic rooibos from the Cederberg region of South Africa—a place as rare and untamed as the tea it produces. Nestled between rugged mountains and kissed by the African sun, the Cederberg is the only place on Earth where true rooibos grows, thriving in mineral-rich soil and a pristine, untouched landscape. It is here, among the rolling hills and ancient rock formations, that our teas begin their journey—one of purity, craftsmanship, and exclusivity.
A Ritual of Refinement
This is an invitation to elevate the everyday. Each blend is crafted with intention, offering not just a beverage, but a ritual—one that nourishes the body, soothes the mind, and honors the past.
Our Philosophy
Wellness, Your Way – There are no rules to mindful living. Whether you sip at sunrise or unwind at sunset, our teas fit seamlessly into your rhythm.
Steeped in Stories – Every cup connects us to those who came before. We honor tradition while creating new moments of stillness and celebration.
A Legacy in Every Leaf – Sourced from the Cederberg’s sun-drenched terrain, our rooibos is naturally caffeine-free, rich in antioxidants, and cultivated with the utmost care—ensuring an experience of uncompromising quality.
Sip With Intention
Every sip of Upland Tea is a moment reclaimed—a chance to breathe, reflect, and embrace the beauty of now. We invite you to step into the world of Upland, where tea is not just a drink but a luxury ritual, an expression of self-care, and a tribute to life’s most precious moments.
Sip slow. Live fully.
Johnie’s Reserve: Legacy Box
There’s a sacred stillness that descends sometimes—quiet and warm like a Sunday afternoon. It arrives with the flicker of a candle, the scent of something familiar, and the ache of a memory you never want to forget.
Maybe it’s the sound of her humming a hymn while stirring the pot. The way she’d pause to straighten her brooch before church—like a queen donning her crown. Or the scent that always lingered after her hug: strawberries, cream, and something floral… like grace in bloom.
Johnie’s Legacy Box is more than a candle. It is an heirloom in flame, a bouquet in scent, and a tribute in spirit. Created in honor of April Sheris’ grandmother Johnie, this keepsake box is a place where remembrance becomes ritual.
Every element—the candle, the tea, the music, the handwritten note—was crafted for those who still whisper “thank you” to the matriarchs who lit the way with wisdom, warmth, and unwavering love.
Whether lit with reverence on her birthday, or gifted to someone navigating a first holiday without her, this box is not just a gift.
It’s a love letter to the women who wore grace like a second skin, who taught us that elegance begins in the soul.
🕊️ A Flame for Her. A Pause for You.
With each Legacy Box, we invite you to add your story to our Digital Guestbook—a growing tapestry of tributes to grandmothers everywhere. Share your letter using #JohniesReserve and help us turn memory into movement. Every story is a bloom in our eternal bouquet of honor.
