Our Story

Welcome to TEA TIME WITH TONI SR., a brand born from my deeply personal journey of healing, empowerment, and spiritual awakening.

After serving 11 years in the U.S. Navy as a Hospital Corpsman, I transitioned into civilian life with a heart full of experience and a soul yearning for new purpose. My path was not without struggles, and like so many others, I found myself grappling with postpartum depression and searching for meaning.

​

In the stillness of those moments, I did what I knew best: I prayed and opened myself up to divine guidance. It was then, through a sacred encounter with my ancestors, that I received a lagniappe — a gift—a recipe for healing, rooted in love and tradition. From that spiritual experience came CANNELITA Oil, a multi-use blend created to nourish, soothe, and uplift. The name CANNELITA itself is a term of endearment given to me by my ancestors, a symbol of love and the generational wisdom that inspired every drop of this oil.

​

Fueled by this ancestral connection and a newfound purpose, I extended this healing philosophy to teas.

Tea Time with Toni Sr. is more than just a collection of wellness products; it’s a movement to reconnect with the earth, embrace self-care, and uplift others through the shared rituals of nourishment and love.

​

Adding to this tapestry of storytelling and community are projects THE-R MOVIE SERIES and PERMISSION; bold explorations of love, boundaries, and freedom. My works embody my commitment to authentic expression and sparking conversations that matter.
