A Blend Born from Music + Healing
The story of Arius & Phos begins with founder Isaac Reed, a classically trained opera performance major who needed relief from a very real singer’s struggle: laryngitis. While in college, Isaac began exploring herbal remedies, crafting tea blends that could soothe the throat and support vocal performance.
His experiments led to the creation of the Arius, a signature blend of blackberry leaf, orange, and vanilla that remains a guest favorite.
Before opening his brick-and-mortar shop, Isaac traveled from market to market, sharing his blends, handcrafted goods, and passion for natural healing. Today, in addition to running Arius & Phos, he also manages both the Witches Market and Hamilton Market, helping lift up small business owners in the community.
His mission is simple but powerful: to help people heal their spirits while sharing the knowledge and creativity he gained through his personal journey. His goal is to help people heal their spirits while incorporating his experience and education.
Sip, Savor + Explore
Step inside Arius & Phos and you’ll be greeted by an impressive collection of over 100 dried herbs and 25 handcrafted tea blends. Whether you’re looking for something soothing, energizing, or magical, there’s a blend that’s been thoughtfully created for you.
