Our Blenders
Gabby and Heath Urbaniak
A married couple of tea blenders dedicated to creating the perfect cup of tea.
The husband, Heath, is a former professional chef who has the palette and experience to combine unexpected and quality ingredients in unique and delectable ways. The wife, Gabby, has a background in biology which has brought an aspect of health-consciousness and molecular understanding to our blends.
In 2022, this newly-wed couple packed up and drove as nearly far north as the roads would take them, leaving behind the soul-crushing hustle of city life in search of something greater.
Over a year, soothed and insulated by the ever-mindful forests, they began to grow a deep love for a slow morning... listening to a bird’s song... keeping track of the days by the weather. A sense of peace had finally replaced their near-constant thoughts of survival. They realized they were on to something good.
What if they could package this feeling and send it out to the world? If others could have a happy little moment like one of their many? Reflecting on their days, they noticed what they had grown most fond of: sitting down with a freshly brewed cup of tea and just spending time together.
This they could share.
With Heath’s chef experience and Gabby’s biologist perspective, they could package goodness into a cup so everyone could share in this joy they’ve discovered. With that, they founded ToadStone Tea.
