Meet Cassandra Spearman | Wellness Strategist, Creator Of The Brew Method & Owner of Tea Snob

We had the good fortune of connecting with Cassandra Spearman and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Cassandra, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
The short answer is to blend, brew, and curate a lifestyle filled with good health, hydration, and happiness for every part of you one sip at a time.

My love affair with tea began in my late 20s. However, it wasn’t until 2020 after another failed doctor’s appointment concerning my symptoms of PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) that herbal tea became a game changer for me. After that appointment, It became obvious to me that doctors were just pulling straws to see what might work.

I didn’t need another band-aid, quick fix, or pill. I needed something natural, gentle, and sustainable that was easy to take and was good for every part of me because I don’t believe that pills should be our first and only option when it comes to our health.

YOU play a huge role in your own health.

I learned to listen to my body and provide it with the right nutrients to nourish my body back to good health, hydration, and happiness one sip at a time. I began to research herbs and the herbal action of each herb (what the herbs do in your body) and curated everyday wellness in a cup. Each blend was named for what I felt I needed at that moment. For example:

Me Time- permission to take a break and breathe again (great for reducing stress and anxiety)
Restore- provides your mind and body with the vitamins and minerals it needs to function properly on a daily basis (great for reducing chronic fatigue and brain fog)
Good Vibes-intuitive creative blend brings the magic back to your life. (great for reducing depression)

Having different Teas for different moods & symptoms resulted in better days and better nights.
Wellness is not a one size fits all journey. We run businesses, households, take care of aging parents, and are still required to show up and be present at networking events. These demands have forced us to disconnect on many levels in order to survive and my mission is to help you get reconnected to everyday wellness.

We have 5 collections to help you take back control of your day.
1. Self-care collection
2. Mind and Body collection
3. Lifestyle collection
4. Women’s collection
5. Men’s collection

15 minutes at a time, one sip at a time.

Being a Tea Snob is not whether or not you’re a tea connoisseur or if you’re a regular tea drinker, but Tea Snob is all about having boundaries in place for your life and knowing that 15 minutes invested in your health is like having money in the bank.

Our bodies know how to heal themselves, but we have to give them the right support to do so. By taking time to brew a cup of herbal tea, we give ourselves permission to brew (breathe, reset, express ourselves, water ourselves) unapologetically without interruption, so that we can rest and not quit.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Tea Snob is about providing everyday wellness for every part of you. I’m most proud of the lives I’ve touched and the people I get to meet and speak to. I love being able to introduce herbs to the people who need them most and hear their stories.

Entrepreneurship is not an easy road. It’s full of pitfalls, valleys, ditches, and quicksand. However, with daily prayer, a little resilience, and some mindset shifts, it can provide the life you’ve dreamed about and then some.
The biggest lesson that I’ve learned is to REST, so I don’t quit.

There are so many things for myself and my company to explore and dive into in the wellness space, but I mostly want my brand to give people permission to pause without interruption and have higher expectations for their lives. To me, that is what everyday wellness is all about.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Well, I’m from Pittsburgh, so I would want to take my friend to a sporting event. We’d catch dinner, hang out in the strip district and maybe take a ride on the incline and get a great view of the city.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I’d like to give a shoutout to my family & friends for their continued love and support on this journey.
