About Us

My Story

Siplicious is a tea company, nestled unexpectedly in the tiny hamlet of Linden. Located an hour northeast of the city of Calgary. 

The owner Darla Baerg grew up in rural Manitoba in the world of farming and agriculture, moving west in 1988 for work she met and married the love of her life, and settled in the farming community of Linden Alberta. Coming from a background of good work ethics and a hardworking family it seemed to great an opportunity to pass up when the present company became for sale in 2015.  Having worked as a consultant for Siplicious for a few years she was more then delighted to take over the company  and has put in many hours behind the scenes making it what it has become today!

She began to learn and is still learning to this date the many varieties and individual qualities of the tea leaf!  Taking as much online education as possible and traveling to World tea Expo multiple times has helped open many doors and broaden horizons. “There is so much to learn about the humble tea leaf it’s incredible!” she quotes.

 Darla takes great pleasure in introducing great teas to local cafes and coffee shops. It truly is her desire that everyone around her would come to know the journey of the leaf from field to cup and to understand at least in part what makes a great cuppa tea! 

Many great conversations and ideas have come together from sitting over a great cup of tea.  This is her wish that friendships be made stronger and business ideas come to fruition as you indulge yourselves in great tea and conversation!!!

As summer finds her attending many farmers markets around it would be best for you to reach out before you come by. ” We are mostly a one man band, except when things become overwhelming, then the hubby steps in or the kids!”

Siplicious is committed to bringing you the finest teas, carefully curated from around the world!
