Our Story: The Journey Behind Lauretta’s British Ginger T
Founded in 2021, Lauretta’s British Ginger T was born out of a passion for enhancing the immunity, vitality, and energy of individuals worldwide. With roots in London’s tea culture, Lauretta's personal journey—through the discomfort of pregnancy and a quest for natural remedies—led to the creation of a ginger tea unlike any other. From a powerful homebrew to a trusted wellness staple, this is the story behind the tea that’s made a difference in so many lives:
I established Lauretta’s British Ginger T in 2021 with the aim of enhancing the immunity, vitality, and energy of individuals worldwide. Growing up in London, I have always loved the British culture of tea drinking- it is a culture that goes back to the 17th century, and is still regarded as a symbol of politeness, refinement, elegance and hospitality.
In 2009, I experienced my first bout of "morning sickness" while pregnant with my first child. My "morning sickness" lasted allllllllll daaaaaaay, everyday, for about 6 months!!! To ease my discomfort, I sipped on Ginger Ale instead of accepting the anti-nausea medication offered by my doctor; I also didn’t like the extremely sugary ginger candy offered as an alternative to medication while my body was MAKING A HUMAN BEING!!!!!
In 2014, I was pregnant with my second child. I knew what to expect, so I started looking for natural remedies. Being British (and loving tea), I thought that ginger tea would be a better option than the soda I had sipped everyday with my first baby... I bought all of the ginger teas I found in the grocery stores, and health food stores. None of them were strong enough. Even with 4 or 5 teabags in one cup, the brew just wasn't strong enough to be effective!!!! My husband offered to go to the grocery store to buy some ginger root so that I could make my own brew, and that was the first time I set my eyes on ginger root!!!!
When I finished brewing, it was potent and powerful, and it worked!! I loved how much it helped me, and I loved how good it tasted, so I have drunk it every day since then...!!!
As a professional actor and singer in New York and the UK since 1996, I happily promote the incredible benefits of this brew- a brew that has also helped to boost the immune systems of me and my family. Colds and flu are a thing of the past in our household (ailments we had dealt with regularly like many other people).
I believe that we all have the right to thrive, and therefore I am dedicated to producing and selling high-quality, flavorful, healthful, and helpful ginger-based products, made with ingredients that are scientifically-backed, and historically-proven to have numerous physical and psychological health benefits in both traditional, and alternative medicine.

About our T!
There are 5 ingredients in Lauretta’s British Ginger T: water, ginger root, cinnamon, elderberry and manuka honey. I started making my GingerT when I was pregnant with my son and suffering from relentless, day long nausea.
The ginger products I was finding weren’t strong enough to combat the nausea…plus some were way too sweet! Since nothing else was relieving my discomfort, I took a chance on making my own concentrated, pure ginger drink. Shoutout to my husband Michael for running out to the store to buy the ginger root and encouraging me to go for it!
The world can throw a lot at us but Mother Nature can also provide tools to help us live our best life.
Get Healthy, Stay Healthy!
In the nearly 8 years I’ve been making my Ginger T, I have been blissfully free from colds or the flu. Because I’ve been drinking it on a daily basis, I personally credit it for my great health! I’ve encouraged my friends and family to enjoy it as part of their daily routine - or at the very least, when they start to feel less than stellar. Fewer colds and all that can only be good for the community, right?! We all have the right to thrive and I believe in sharing my GingerT with anyone and everyone who is interested in enjoying it and its effects.
