About The Loose Leaf
I’m Aliyyah—creative entrepreneur, herbal enthusiast, and the founder of The Loose Leaf. My connection to herbs began in my Caribbean upbringing, where plants were part of everyday life. In my family, herbs were brewed for comfort, blended for wellness, and shared as an act of care. Those early rituals shaped the way I understand nature, healing, and the quiet power of a warm cup.
Years later, living in London deepened that foundation. Surrounded by parks, markets, and a culture that treats tea as both a daily rhythm and a grounding pause, I learned to appreciate the sensory beauty of tea in a new way. London taught me to slow down, to notice the details, and to blend tradition with modern ritual.
Over the last five years, my herbal practice has expanded even further. I’ve immersed myself in crafting tinctures, loose‑leaf blends, and botanical body oils—working hands‑on with plants to support both wellness and sensory experience. That work continues to shape the way I formulate every blend and design every moment within The Loose Leaf.
The Loose Leaf is the expression of all these influences—Caribbean herbal wisdom, London’s tea culture, and my own creative approach to wellness and design. Every blend, garnish, and detail is crafted with intention. I’m deeply involved in every part of the process, ensuring each experience feels calming, modern, and beautifully curated.
For me, tea is more than a drink, and herbs are more than ingredients. They’re a ritual, a pause, a way to bring people together. Through The Loose Leaf, my goal is to share that feeling—one cup, one event, one wellness moment at a time.
