I’m Raechel Kelley Valles, the Founder and Tea Sommelier behind Siply, a conscious loose leaf tea and matcha company nestled in the heart of Austin, Texas.

My journey began when I confronted a severe autoimmune issue, which compelled me to embark on a profound transformation.

In my quest for healing and balance, I chose to reduce stress, eliminate toxins, and rediscover my roots. Some of my fondest childhood memories are woven with the warmth of sipping tea at my grandmother's dinner table.

For me, tea transcends the ordinary; it embodies presence, love, and connection.

Siply emerged as my heartfelt endeavor to share this gift with my community. With an adventurous palate, I set out on a global exploration of tea culture, from the hills of Ireland to the spiritual heartland of India and beyond. My travels became a transformative journey, fostering a deep appreciation for high-grade tea and a treasure trove of tea recipes and mindfulness practices.

Today, I stand at the intersection of ancient wisdom and contemporary mindfulness. Drawing from my tapestry of experiences, I offer Siply's collection of loose leaf tea and matcha, as well as a modern interpretation of the timeless Tea Ritual, originally practiced by monks thousands of years ago.

Thank you for being here. I hope you are nourishied, calmed and fed by what you find at Siply.
