Born from a Desire for Better♥️

Handcrafted, Health-Conscious Teas.

Kahleea Washington’s story is one of resilience and creativity. A college student with a love for tea, Kahleea faced a life-changing moment when she was diagnosed with pre-diabetes. Determined to find healthier alternatives to sugary drinks, she began experimenting with fresh fruits, herbs, and teas. Her kitchen became a creative lab, where she brewed teas that not only tasted incredible but also supported her health.

What started as a personal journey quickly became a community phenomenon. Friends and family fell in love with her handcrafted blends, urging her to share them with the world. Fueled by their support, Kahleea launched Sweet Lee’s Teas, blending her passion for health, flavor, and community.
