In 1981, Eileen Hadaway was the first to bring a food product into the Christian book and gift stores. Initially the business began with Scripture Cookies in the shape of butterflies with a Scripture message sandwiched in the middle. They were a quality pastry loved by all, but a costly venture for a new company to undertake. As a result they are no longer available.
In 1982, God blessed Eileen with another idea - Scripture Tea. Each tea tag would have a Scripture message on it. Quality of tea and packaging were of the essence. Testimonies and thank-you letters were pouring in from all around the world.
Now people call Eileen the "Tea Lady." She hears stories of afternoon teas and bible studies where Scripture Tea is shared. Eileen states, "Scripture Tea is not about us, but about God. I have always kept myself in the background because I haven't done anything great. I was just carrying out the Lord's great idea.”
Scripture Tea has "graced" the homes of many actors, actresses and performers such as Helen Hayes, Johnny and June Carter Cash, Ellie Mae Clampett, as well as being used for ministries such as Joni & Friends, Operation Blessing, and the real "Weezer" from Steel Magnolias.
"My desire through Scripture Tea is to not only give you a "taste" of God's Word, but more importantly to give you a hunger to have more of His love and comfort by turning to His bible for guidance. May God richly bless you, and all those to whom you choose to bless with Scripture Tea."
