Hey family,
Just want to take a moment to update you on something important happening with our online shop.
As you know, we’ve been proudly sharing authentic Jamaican products through our Etsy store, from traditional herbs, spices and cookware to locally made souvenirs and treasures and that carry the spirit of our island. But recently, Etsy implemented new policy guidelines that have temporarily affected sellers like me who are operating from outside the U.S., including here in Jamaica 🇯🇲.
So for now, Etsy has temporarily closed our E-Store.
😕 Why Was the Store Closed?Etsy has made some changes to its seller policy, particularly around banking and location verification for international sellers. Because I’m based in Jamaica, this has triggered a temporary hold on the store while I work with their team to get things sorted.
It’s frustrating, yes but I’m staying hopeful that we’ll be able to resume operations on that platform soon.
💬 But Good News, You Can Still Order Directly from Me!

- Dutch Pots

- Irish Moss (raw and capsules)
- Soursop Leaf (in capsules, tea bag etc)
- Duck Flower
- Dog Blood herb

- Cerasee, Guava Leaf, as well as any of the other 80+ herbal teas and traditional Jamaican remedies (some featured in my YouTube videos)
