Anthony Capobianco used to be a stressed out workaholic mortgage broker. He had an active life outside of work in karate, but his health was still suffering. He was ridiculed among his buddies at the dojo as the strongest sick guy.
He knew something had to change. That’s when he started experimenting with the calming effects of tea. This was the start of a wild journey, one that has changed his live forever.
This is the story about his passion for tea and the birth of Zen Tea Traders.
