Nina Saffron Anderson, a native of Arlington, Virginia, is the Founder/CEO of Saffron’s Loft, a company dedicated to focusing on holistic wellness through art, sports training, nutrition as well as an artful assortment of teas and tea education. In early 2009, after achieving her professional goals in engineering and mathematics, Nina decided to pursue her true passions in designing, art, martial arts, dance, gymnastics, and tea.

Nina began training in martial arts at the age of 9. She has studied a variety of styles including Judo, Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Hapkido, and for the past several years she has been training in traditional Chinese Kung Fu (Wushu) working towards her third black belt. Nina is also a ballet and classical jazz dancer and practices gymnastics. She recently became a Certified Personal Trainer and Certified Nutrition Specialist and firmly believes in having an active, fitness-oriented lifestyle for wellness.

Nina’s love for tea also began at a young age, as she grew up having formal English tea ceremonies at home. Through Saffron’s Loft, she has begun to market her artful blends, create customized blends, and share the health benefits of tea in conjunction with promoting fitness. In addition to this, Nina does a great deal of designing work and currently teaches gymnastics and dance.
