A documented look at a Houston herb shop that has permanently closed.
Yimi Skin and Tea was an herb shop in Houston, Texas, that sold hand-picked herbal tea blends described in its own listing as coming from a rich Afro-Caribbean cultural tradition. Its Google business profile is now flagged as closed forever, and the website survives only in a single archived snapshot. This page records, with sources and without embellishment, what the shop was and what traces it left.
The domain yimiskinandtea.com once belonged to Yimi Skin and Tea, a small Texas business that Google's business profile categorized as an herb shop. The preserved profile lists an address at 611 Houston Ave, Houston, TX 77007, a phone number, a rating of 4.0, and an owner-claimed listing — and it is now marked closed forever. Separately, search records describe 'Yimi Skin & Tea' in Pearland, Texas, offering 'high-quality, hand-picked herbal teas produce from a rich Afro-Caribbean cultural tradition,' under the same phone number and the email [email protected]. Whether Houston and Pearland were two locations or a relocation is not documented.
The name joined the shop's two product ideas: skin, reflected in a dedicated Beauty Blends category, and tea, the core format. Search autocomplete traces around the name — 'House,' 'Bar,' 'Lounge,' 'Reviews,' 'Benefits,' 'Bags' — suggest people looked for a physical tea room and for product information. None of those variants is confirmed by a primary source, so they are noted here only as search behavior, not as verified ventures.
The clearest picture of the business comes from an archived homepage captured on February 11, 2026, under the page title 'ADHD & ADD | Yimi Skin And Tea.' The visible navigation reads like a full menu. Two hub categories — Herbal Blends and Smokable Blends — sat above fourteen wellness categories, followed by a sampler line. The structure shows a catalog organized by customer concern rather than by ingredient.
The wellness categories were: General Health, Post-op Health, Women's Health, Beauty Blends, Men's Health, Pain Relief, Detox Blends, Gastric Health, Mental Health, Relaxation, Meditation Blends (spelled 'Mediation' in the menu), Respiratory Health, Immune Health, and Weight Management. The sampler line included a Sampler Set, Detox Sampler Set, General Health Sampler Set, 'libdo Health Sampler' (almost certainly Libido), and a His & Hers sampler. No prices, ingredient lists, or product descriptions survive in the captured text.
The Pearland listing framed the shop's identity in one phrase: hand-picked herbal teas produced from a rich Afro-Caribbean cultural tradition. That phrase points to bush tea — the Caribbean household practice of steeping leaves, roots, bark, and grasses such as cerasee, soursop leaf, fever grass (lemongrass), and ginger. The practice descends from West African herbal knowledge carried through the diaspora and adapted over centuries to Caribbean plants and, later, to diaspora cities like Houston.
It is not possible to say which specific herbs Yimi Skin and Tea actually used, because no ingredient list survives. What can be said is that the shop's category map — digestion, relaxation, respiratory comfort, skin, detox — closely mirrors the everyday concerns that bush-tea traditions are typically organized around, which makes the listing's description consistent with the catalog that was archived.
Two parts of the menu went beyond the teacup. Smokable Blends implied dried-herb mixtures intended for smoking — a niche but established herbal category usually positioned as a tobacco-free alternative. The archived text preserves only the category name, so the shop's actual smokable ingredients are unknown, and guessing would be fabrication.
The sampler line is the other telling detail. Five distinct sampler sets — including a paired His & Hers assortment and a libido-themed one — indicate the shop encouraged customers to try small amounts across categories before committing to full-size blends. The preserved menu even keeps its typos ('Mediation Blends,' 'libdo Health Sampler'), which are reproduced here exactly as they appeared rather than silently corrected.
Category names like Detox Blends, Pain Relief, or the snapshot's 'ADHD & ADD' page title describe how products were marketed, not what they were proven to do. Herbal infusions range from relatively well-studied — ginger for nausea is a common example — to traditional-use-only, and some herbs interact with prescription medicines, a real consideration given a category like Post-op Health.
This record repeats the shop's category labels strictly for documentation. Nothing in the archived material amounts to medical evidence, and anyone managing a condition such as ADHD should treat a tea category name as a question to bring to a clinician, not as guidance.
The business profile's 'closed forever' flag is the last confirmed event in the record. The shop no longer operates, and its website survives only in the February 2026 snapshot. The phone number (+1 281-305-8727) and the email address found in old listings are historical artifacts and should not be treated as active contact channels.
What remains publicly checkable is a small set of artifacts, listed below. Together they sketch a Texas herb shop with an Afro-Caribbean product identity and a concern-based catalog, searched for under several affectionate names — and that is where the documented trail ends.
