Christa Holtzclaw

Steep & Bloom Tea owner Christa Holtzclaw says she started her Columbia-based, small-batch loose-leaf tea company because she noticed there was a market for it: "I saw this hole for loose leaf tea. I couldn't find it very many places in town, and there wasn't a lot of selection." Catch Christa at this year's Bridgerton Ball finale in October! September 19, 2025
