About The Qi

Rooted in time-honored Eastern holistic healing wisdom The Qi is a wellness brand on a mission to empower 
you to feel more joy, beauty, and inner calm in your busy days through the power of healing whole flower tea 
rituals. 

“Qi” (Chi - pronounced chee) means Life Energy or Life Force. It stands for the energy in all things, the 
vital energy forming part of any living entity in the entire universe. Flowers contain the most Qi. According to 
ancient Eastern philosophies when a plant flowers it is believed that it’s at the peak of its life and the flowers 
are the fruit of this highest level energy Qi. When they take in this flower Qi it can help us heal too. 

As a child Founder Lisa Li grew up Northeast of Beijing and had a lot of teas with her grandma. Those moments 
were some of the most nourishing and healing times of her childhood. In the beginning of 2018 she took a 
transformative trip with my mom to Yunnan (the birth place of tea). There she discovered the high mountain 
Roses the locals enjoy as a whole flower tea. It was so unique and special it transported her to a secret 
paradise garden. When she returned to NYC she wanted to tell everyone about it and The Qi was born!
