How We Got Started

Two Country Boys From Mallet Manglier Tea was founded when Covid hit and my grandmother, Mildred Dartez wanted some pure Manglier Tea to boost her immune system and protect her from getting sick. She was 91 years old at the time and didn't want to take any risks because so many people were getting sick and dying. Growing up when we went to my grandmother's house we would have pure old-fashioned Manglier Tea made with water and manglier leaves. My grandmother asking for Manglier Tea brought me back to my roots. I called up my friends Martin and Marvin Guillory whose family grows Manglier trees. I got leaves and started brewing. Initially, I brewed a case for my family, to protect us from COVID. I made it the same way my grandmother taught me with leaves and water, not adding anything to it because I wanted the tea to be pure and bitter. THE MORE BITTER, THE BETTER. 
Manglier Tea was doing so well within my family I started to spread the word and people started asking to buy it. Word got around and before I knew it we had people calling from near and far asking how they could get our tea. From my grandmother's request, Two Country Boys from Mallet Manglier Tea was birthed. In May of 2023 we became registered by the State of Louisiana.
