Stephanie Synclair is an amazing woman. It only took a scrolling through the La Rue 1680’s Instagram page for me to realize, this woman is killing it .. not just in terms of teas and how to best brew them, or showing you gorgeous ways of setting up a tea service. The key is her way of sharing the importance of self-care.. and Stephanie Synclair shows you how to do it!
August Is Black Business Month: Highlighting La Rue 1680
and founder Stephanie Synclair!
August marks National Black Business Month, a month in which Black businesses and Black entrepreneurs are recognized and celebrated for their successes, milestones, and historical progress.
Black businesses continue to grow and succeed – La Rue 1680 was not only born during the pandemic but flourished. Self-care was at an all-time high in 2020, and that’s exactly what gave Stephanie Synclair the idea for La Rue 1680- her daily self-care time out and tea ritual. She wanted to create that self-care experience for others and offer high-quality, loose-leaf, artisanal teas for those who desire an organic and more nutritional alternative to traditional bagged teas. Not only are they better for the environment, but for our bodies! A typical bagged tea has been bleached with toxins and contains chemicals such as dioxin and epichlorohydrin. When it comes in contact with water, bleached bags can hydrolyze into cancer-causing carcinogens.
La Rue 1680 exploded on the scene in October 2020, making fans of Drew Barrymore, Carson Kressley, and more with tea collections and accessories named after famous Netflix shows ‘The Crown’ & ‘Bridgerton’.
Their introductory collection includes classic offerings with a twist like:
–India Street Vanilla Chai,
–Italian Cream Earl Grey,
–Moroccan Mint,
—Casablanca Street
while also offering completely new flavors like
–Peach Paradise,
–Island Breeze Pina Colada,
–-Citrus Mango Punch
–Spring Berry Punch
Here’s a bonus for you .. in case you are wavering about buying teas or ” High Tea” dishes. Stephanie Synclair shows you how to make her special Iced Chocolate Vanilla Chai LATTE!
Absolutely yummy and you won’t be disappointed!
But tea is not all that La Rue 1680 provides. To give you the full ‘High Tea’ effect, La Rue 1680 has special limited edition teas, tea cups, and sets.

I love these spoons. They are so unusual!
You can shop for all the tea and accessories that leave you with the feeling of an authentic British High Tea!
About Stephanie Synclair
Stephanie Synclair is the Founder and CEO of La Rue 1680. A bestselling author, radio show host, entrepreneur, and now Queen of Tea, Stephanie Synclair had never thought about playing small and always saying yes to their true desires in life. Her driving force has never strayed from the goal to empower women to step into their biggest selves. For over eight years, Stephanie Synclair built and ran an extremely successful consulting firm that worked specifically with female entrepreneurs to build a strong following excited about saying yes about themselves, products, and services. Stephanie has self-published three best-selling Amazon books, which have all topped various best-seller categories on Amazon including Self-Help, Marketing, Women in Business and Entrepreneurship.
When the pandemic hit in 2020, Stephanie’s first thought was how can she give a tangible product to help people during this stressful time. Stephanie looked to her daily rituals, and the rituals she helped her coaching clients create. Immediately she knew that her custom blends of tea, that she had been making for the women she privately coached for years, was it. She was researching manufacturers the next day and as little as 4 months, La Rue1680 was born. With the help of pop culture’s obsession with The Crown and Bridgerton, La Rue 1680 became an instant success. Stephanie has been featured on Vogue, CNN, Today, The Drew Barrymore Show, and more.
Stevie’s Note
I am so impressed with what I have seen and learned about from Stephanie Synclair’s La Rue 1680. Her idea of presenting unusual flavors of tea .. in the best possible way so that it’s healthy for you, along with how to create a setting for you to enjoy your tea.. whether it’s just you or for your friends. The icing on this cake is that Synclair focuses on self-care. She uses her loose teas to show you why you want loose tea but also how the teas will improve your health. The tea settings are gorgeous and the focus is that YOU are worth the time and effort. Self-care is everything.. and when you start taking care of yourself, your attitude and your life start to change for the better.
Thank you Stephanie Synclair for all that you are doing and how you are doing. I am impressed not only with the Iced Chocolate Vanilla Chai LATTE recipe but with the care and
attention to detail in which you present everything.
