Mission Daily

Adi Arezzini is the co-founder and CEO of Teami Blends, a lifestyle brand focused on creating tea and skincare products with all natural ingredients. At age 19, Adi joined the Israel Defense Force to serve as a combat trainer, but when she returned home, she faced a different kind of battle; a battle against health issues that were affecting her mind and body. Always the fighter, Adi wouldn’t accept these issues as a part of her, so she set out to solve them. That’s how Teami Blends was born. In this interview, Steph and Adi talk about the ups and downs of starting a business, what it’s like to work with influencers, and how she turned it around when her sales started to decline.
