Exploring Life & Business with Karla Clark of Pfortea Loose Leaf Tea Blends

Today we’d like to introduce you to Karla Clark

Hi Karla, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I’ve always loved tea. When my favorite tea shop went out of business, I took my favorite flavors and created blends that matched my individuality. I started experimenting with different types of teas and herbs. This hobby of making tea for myself, family, friends, and coworkers turned into a business after my eldest daughter suggested I sell my tea blends. Pfortea came to life in my kitchen with only four blends. I created an online store and launched Pfortea on my 42nd birthday, four years ago.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Having a tea company is harder than I thought. Making the perfect blend drains resources, takes time, and dedication. You have to find the right high-quality ingredients and create the perfect balance of flavor and functionality. The cost of advertising is very high. Social media content doesn’t always reach my target market.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Pfortea Loose Leaf Tea Blends?
What do you do? I am the owner Pfortea Loose Leaf Tea Blends

What do you specialize in? Handcrafted loose leaf tea blends with natural ingredients, that help with the common cold, digestive issues, stress, weight, etc.

What are you known for? Creating tea blends that seduce your taste buds with an entanglement of flavors.

What are you most proud of? I took a hobby and turned it into a business! I love what I do. People enjoy drinking my tea.
What sets you apart from others? There is a story behind every blend. For instance, Teave Me Alone was originally created to help my grandmother relax before bedtime. I created Peppermintalitea because Starbucks constantly sold out of their Medicine Ball tea. I would rather drink tea as opposed to taking medicine. Miss You Alreatea is named after one of my favorite coworkers who always said “Miss You Already’! Entanglemint speaks for itself (relationship issues)! Kristea Cider is named after my best friend who died from breast cancer last year. A portion of the proceeds from Kristea Cider go to breast cancer awareness and research.
