Too slow for shortcuts. Too real to change.

At 17Rootea, we believe wellness should be rooted in nature — not shortcuts.

That’s why we use American Wild Ginseng and carefully selected premium herbs, slow-roasted at low heat for 20 to 48 hours. Every blend is crafted slowly, brewed honestly, and designed to restore balance from within.

My name is Christina Lee, founder of 17 Rootea and 17 Medspa (Cosmoskee — medical-grade skincare).

This brand was born from my personal healing journey.

With over 15 years of experience in medical aesthetics, I dedicated my career to beauty, health, and care. Yet I eventually realized that true wellness goes far beyond external treatments.

Motherhood and entrepreneurship took a toll on my body. With little time for exercise and relying on low-calorie but nutrient-poor foods, I struggled with fatigue and allergies. Doctors could offer only temporary solutions — never addressing the root cause.

So I chose a different path.

For seven years, I studied nutrition, movement, and mindset. Through intentional eating, consistent exercise, and lifestyle changes, I healed myself and regained my vitality.

But there was one thing I still missed —

I couldn’t enjoy boba tea or ice cream like everyone else.

That’s when I decided:

“Let’s create food and drinks that everyone can enjoy — safely and healthily.”

That vision became 17 Rootea.

Today, we use only the same ingredients I trust in my own home: organic matcha, real sugar, fresh vegetables and fruits, premium herbs, and pure ginseng tea. Even our ice cream is made simply and cleanly, without unnecessary additives.

Our menu is more than a treat — it can also serve as a nourishing meal replacement for busy modern lifestyles, just as it has supported mine.

Looking ahead, my mission extends beyond food. We are developing edible skincare, because the largest organ in the human body is the skin — and true beauty begins from within.

My healing journey taught me that wellness isn’t only about what we eat.

It’s about how we live.

Through daily wellness insights and lifestyle sharing on social media, I hope to inspire others on their own path to balance and vitality.

Your support gives me strength to keep building.

Too slow for shortcuts. Too real to change.
