ABOUT ME
A LIFE STEEPED IN TEA
I’ve been a tea drinker for as long as I can remember.
Long before I knew anything about tea, I simply loved drinking it. Sometimes it came in a little tea bag, sometimes in loose leaves. I didn’t know how to identify an origin, a harvest, a cultivar or a processing method.
I just knew what I liked. And that was enough to begin.
IT ALL STARTED WITH A TEA BLENDING COURSE
In 2019, while living in Buenos Aires, I came across a Tea Blender course.
I signed up almost instinctively. I didn’t really know what I was getting myself into. Then came the first class.
We tasted more than ten black teas, one after another, and I remember thinking:
Wait… there is THIS much to discover about tea?
That was my “wow” moment. I was fascinated.
From there, I started studying everything I could. I signed up for tastings, workshops, courses and any tea experience I could find.
FROM TEA DRINKER TO TEA STORYTELLER
At some point, I wanted to share what I was discovering. So I started an Instagram account dedicated to recommending places in Buenos Aires where you could enjoy good tea.
That little idea grew into a blog. And I fell in love with writing. I wrote about tea houses, products, places I discovered and experiences worth sharing. Whenever I traveled, I looked for tea. I visited tea shops. I tasted new things. I bought tea accessories. I took notes. I wrote reviews.
I was learning as I went, and at the same time, I was bringing other people along with me. A community slowly began to grow around that curiosity.
THEN CAME ANAM
In early 2020, just before the pandemic changed everything, I had what probably felt like a crazy idea at the time:
What if I created a place where all those things could come together?
I wanted to bring together Argentine tea brands under one roof and create a space where people could discover tea in a completely different way.
That idea became ANAM.
A tea bar in Buenos Aires with a rotating menu of teas you could enjoy hot or cold, a to-go bar, and even teas served from taps so that you could discover the flavor of the day.
And if you found something you loved? There was a shop where you could take it home, along with tea accessories and little things to make your own tea ritual even more special.
ANAM opened its doors in July 2020.
Over time, we represented more than 40 Argentine tea brands and created a monthly Tea Club, where members received a tea box filled with surprises. We hosted workshops, tastings and events. It became much more than a tea shop.
It became a little tea ecosystem a place to discover, learn, gather and share. And for me, it was the realization of something I had started years before without even knowing where it would lead.
FALLING IN LOVE WITH ARGENTINE TEA
While I was building ANAM, another part of my tea journey was becoming especially important to me: Argentine tea.
I became fascinated by the fact that tea was being grown in Argentina something I had never really thought about before.
And then I had the chance to go where it all begins. The tea fields of Misiones.
FROM LEAF TO CUP
Going to a tea harvest was another before-and-after moment for me.
There is something completely different about holding the fresh leaf in your hands and suddenly understanding how much work, knowledge, time and dedication exists behind something that eventually becomes a cup of tea.
I had the opportunity to visit Misiones twice.
I visited different tea farms, met families who grow and produce tea, and had the chance to make tea with my own hands. I even experienced a tea ritual surrounded by a wild forest of Camellia sinensis. Those experiences changed the way I look at tea.
THEN LIFE TOOK ME TO MIAMI
ANAM eventually closed its doors, just before I moved to Miami in 2023. And with that move, the tea business went quiet for a while. Not the tea itself. Tea never really left.
It was still part of my everyday life, as it had been for years. But I shifted my focus to my profession, settled into a new city and began building a life in Miami.
At the same time, I was quietly observing. I was learning the city. Getting to know its people and its culture. Discovering its wellness community, its events, its neighborhoods and its rhythm.
And somewhere in the back of my mind, I kept asking myself: How could tea find its place here?
I always knew I would come back to it. I just didn’t know exactly when or what it would look like.
AND NOW INFUSIONADA AGAIN
After years of learning, creating, pausing, observing and dreaming, I finally felt ready to begin again. Infusionada is the new chapter.
A little different from what came before, but deeply connected to everything that came before it.
Today, I’m bringing tea back to life through workshops, tastings, private experiences and gatherings around Miami.
WHY INFUSIONADA?
Because after all these years, I still believe that tea is so much more than what’s inside the cup.
It can be a reason to gather.
A way to discover a culture.
A conversation starter.
A moment of curiosity.
A ritual.
A pause.
Or simply something delicious to drink.
Infusionada is my way of sharing all of that.
It’s the continuation of a journey that started with a girl who simply loved drinking tea before she knew there was an entire world waiting to be discovered. And I’m still discovering it.
One cup, one story and one experience at a time.
WELCOME TO INFUSIONADA.
