In a bittersweet chapter of life, the genesis of a brand was stirred by the profound journey of two women. One woman tasked with a heartbreaking mission and the other forced into a daunting battle.
Hi, I'm Chelsea. In 2020, my baby sister was diagnosed with Stage 4 Choriocarcinoma, a rare and rapidly progressing cancer. Despite her fierce tenacity and the relentless battle she waged, she departed this world a year later at the tender age of 28.
In the wake of her passing, a celestial spark ignited within me and I found solace in channeling my pain into a purposeful creation. A creation inspired by the moments spent with her and the remarkable ritual that emerged during such a dark time. You see, after her diagnosis, she moved in with me, and each morning, we started brewing tea, sitting together, and finding happiness in the company of Sam and Dean Winchester. We forged a ritual, a magical communion each morning while the fragrance of tea filled the air.
These morning tea sessions became a sanctuary, a place where hope and resilience bloomed. Looking back on them a brand was born, whispered in the winds of memory and magic - a brand that would encapsulate the warmth and solace found in those precious morning rituals with my sister. CE & Moon Apothecary, where "CE," like the gentle tide, echoes the initials of my sister's name and each handcrafted loose-leaf tea blend encapsulates the resilience she exhibited during her battle and embodies the joy, love, and inspiration she radiated throughout her life.
With a mission to spread hope and honor Crystal Elizabeth’s memory, CE & Moon Apothecary stands as a beacon of support for those facing adversity. It is more than a brand; it is a testament to the beauty of life, the strength within us, and the enduring and magical power of love. Through CE & Moon, my sister's legacy lives on, touching the hearts of those who face their own struggles, reminding them that they are not alone.
