A Winemaker's Cup of Tea

Annie Favia of Favia Erickson Winegrowers grew up devotedly trailing her mother in the family garden, exploring and smell-ing her favorite plants.

A Winemaker's Cup of Tea

The youngest of six kids, Favia always considered time spent with her mom to be the best commodity. “She’d say, ‘go pick some herbs,’ and we’d sit and have tea time together,” she recalls.

Favia inherited both her mother’s green thumb and her penchant for herbal tea. Along with a successful viticulture career and ownership of Favia Wines with husband and winemaker Andy Erickson (see “Down to Earth,” page 28), she’s turned her talents and attention to growing herbs for Erda, the whole-leaf and -flower tea business she founded in 2018.

She began to get more serious about tea 15 years ago after surveying the nuances of teas while studying with the late Winnie Yu, a renowned Bay Area authority on Chinese tea.

Restaurant Awards- Lazy Bear- Lazy Bear bills itself as a modern American dinner party. But it's so much more.

Lazy Bear bills itself as a modern American dinner party. But it’s so much more.

With reverence for time and place, Lazy Bear is an ode to California where guests dine in concert with the season and can explore diverse wines, including an impressive collection of older California vintages.
