About Us:
This past year has been a year of revelation (2020); the reason we have never criticized it because it has revealed so much to us in full disguise (thankful). Robert and I have been together for more than ten years, and it's been the year we've spent so much time together (through COVID restrictions). Although limited by his environment and upbringing, he has always tried very hard to prove/provide in this relationship. The one gift he shows up with every time that helps me naturally because that is what he knows and can afford to give. He learned from his father, Yard Bush. Being the last child to his father, he watched his father use roots for healing, mentally and physically. The first time I met him, he gave me Cerasee and told me to boil it and make tea. Me, not knowing what it was and hating the bitter taste, took it home and stored it in one of my cabinets.
I have been under his care for over ten years and cannot complain about my health or old age. I drink medina, neem, soursop, jack in the bush, king of the forest, rice, and peas (Jamaicans name everything something), and recently I was introduced to guinea hen. He is passionate about his roots, literally. I come to Jamaica for healing and rejuvenation. Every trip I come to see him, he sends me home with roots and tells me what to do with them. This year, I took him seriously because of COVID, and I started boiling tea to build my immune system. I wished I had these roots in tea bags instead of boiling them and then straining for tea. So, I brought empty tea bags and asked him to please make me tea bags to put in a cup of boiling water….and Walla! he turned roots from the ground into tea bags. He has labored hard to (I watched him) turn roots into tea bags. What brings tears to my eyes is he is so proud of the process. He handpicks, dries, grinds, and bag tea bags for me and from his yard. We are taking one step forward to share our Yard Bush with you.
