Wilderness in a Cup

Sharing a passion for the outdoors, NOLS and two leaves and a bud tea company, nestled in the mountains of Colorado, are a match made in hot-drink heaven. Founded in 2005 by NOLS grad and former instructor Richard Rosenfeld, the company prides itself on providing the best cuppa’ around by going directly to the bud of the operation, selling full-leaf tea from organic tea gardens. Rosenfeld applies the principles he developed at NOLS in his daily life and business practices, forming close relationships with farmers around the world.

Having gained so much from his NOLS experience, Rosenfeld wants to give back to the school by donating 1% of each of their Alpine Berry herbal tea sales to a NOLS scholarship fund.

“It’s a very outdoorsy-feeling tea,” says two leaves and a bud spokeswoman Stephanie Keister, “Being able to support NOLS is an honor for us, as we understand the unique impact NOLS has on allowing people to appreciate the wilderness and thrive in that environment.”
