Meet the Duo

We are a Mother-Daughter team with Nordic roots and have enjoyed a deep love of gardening across generations. Our Grandma Tangen brought her gardening skills from central Norway to her new home in Minnesota in the 1900s and our company was inspired by her passion for gardening for health and wellness.

In the generations since, there has been a continued love of organic gardening for health and wellness, a commitment to take care of the earth, and a commitment to take care of one another. It has been interesting over the years, as we continue to learn, and as we share practices with others, that Grandma’s old ways are constantly reinforced, and the things she valued are underscored. She and others like her, embodied the concepts of sustainability, social responsibility, ecological stewardship, minimal waste, small carbon imprint, and community outreach. She took good care of her garden, and her garden took good care of her. At Tangen Teas & Botanicals, we are similarly rooted and committed.
