The Founder
Dead Leaf Brew was founded by Cass—an herbalist, classically trained pianist, mentor, and co-founder of a vintage record store.
Through years spent teaching piano, studying herbalism and holistic living, mentoring others, and moving through the rhythms of music and entrepreneurship,
one truth became impossible to ignore:
your inputs equal your outputs.
Tea became a natural point of return. A simple ritual that creates space to reset, reconnect, and bring yourself back to baseline.
Dead Leaf Brew is the result of a belief that rituals shape our performance. That what we return to daily should support the way we want to think, feel, and move through the world—with clarity, intention, and respect for the body that carries us through it.
WHY TEA?
REGULATION
The nervous system influences how we respond to stress, recovery, focus, and the changing demands of daily life.
Many herbs have been traditionally used to support relaxation, alertness, and restoration, allowing tea to compliment the body's natural vital force.
RITUAL
What we consume, repeat, and return to each day inevitably shapes how we think, feel, and function over time.
Tea remains one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world, valued across cultures not only for its ingredients, but for the way it has long been woven into practices of restoration, resilience, and everyday maintenance.
ROOT SUPPORT
Many herbs have a long history of traditional use in supporting the body's natural processes.
Rather than simply masking discomfort, herbal practices have historically focused on supporting foundational systems and overall wellbeing.
