Arogya, meaning "whole health" in Sanskrit, successfully continues to provide a source for integrative Chinese medicine, Yoga, and Massage Therapy, while offering a comprehensive collection of organic teas, all-natural skin care products, and personalized herbal remedies at the Arogya Holistic Healing Center. Since 1997, Arogya Holistic Healing has forged a reputation for excellent wellness services and products in Connecticut.
Our tea company, Arogya Tea, carries the largest selection of authentic and quality teas in Fairfield County. Only the highest-grade teas and tisanes are hand-selected as well as artisan craft teas and wild-harvested rare varietals. We exclusively provide teas in their loose leaf form to ensure a delicious, natural, and truly healthful brew.
We are dedicated to bringing natural products and traditional healing for those who seek balance and well-being as part of a modern lifestyle.
Arogya Holistic Healing & Arogya Tea
From Our Director
Ever since I can remember, I have been fascinated with my traditional Chinese Heritage. The deep philosophic wisdom of the great sages, the sweet scent of freshly brewed green tea, the mouth-watering array of curative culinary delights, and the mystique of Chinese medicine, with its powerful therapeutic herbs and connection with nature's profound energy, have all left deep and lasting impressions upon me. With the founding of Arogya in 1997, it has been my intention to bring the great healing traditions of the east into our contemporary modern lifestyles, which are in such desperate need for true balance and well-being.
Our goal is to offer all our clients and community the highest quality access to integrative medicine and education about holistic wellness. We treat clients of every age and every member of the family! Through our work, Arogya seeks to broaden understanding with expert knowledge and service from our practitioners and tea company.
I am pleased to present the updated website for the Arogya Holistic Healing Center and the Arogya Tea Company in Westport CT.
Enjoy your journey to health!
With gratitude,
Wei Bertram
Director, Arogya
What Makes Arogya Tea Unique
Arogya specializes in organic, wild-harvest, and artisanal teas and tisanes. We’re dedicated to ensuring the quality of our teas from soil to cup, sourcing the finest teas for your health and enjoyment, and working directly with small, eco-conscious tea producers.
-
The complex and delicious flavor of our teas comes from the excellent quality of our leaves and ingredients, and the traditional ways in which they are produced. When we drink tea grown from clean soil, that hasn’t been contaminated by chemicals, produced by happy workers who take pride in their product, you can taste the difference in each sip.
-
We are celebrated for our specialty tea blends, which are masterfully created with fine teas, botanicals, and organic and medicinally potent herbs. Wei Bertram develops all our house blends using a synergy of Western and Chinese healing herbs. Our signature blends are intricately balanced, full of flavor, and uniquely tailored to support health and wellness.
-
Wei has immersed herself in the entire tea production process from soil to cup by visiting tea farms and personally inspecting the quality and purity of tea leaves and farming techniques. We import many of our teas from farm-direct vendors with whom Wei has developed personal relationships over the years.

The Journey of Our Tea
Wei’s deep appreciation for tea began when she was a little girl growing up in China. Tea became her passion in life, and she has brought this passion to Arogya Holistic Healing. Here is the story of how Arogya Tea came to be:
Pu'er Documentary
Wei Bertram was featured in a 4-part documentary about Pu'er tea on the predominant Chinese state broadcaster CCTV.
