Welcome
About the Founder & Andina Tea
As a former HR professional, I directly witnessed and felt the profound effects of chronic fatigue & burnout.
A journey towards naturopathy & holistic wellbeing started when I had a life changing encounter with tea, over a decade ago in South America.
My experience with tea has radically evolved over the years, as I've come to realize how mood-transformative different types of tea can be. I became fascinated by the effects of tea in the body & mind, its rich history, cultural customs & philosophy.
The pursuit of tea led me to explore the tea plant - Camellia Sinensis - in varied fields of application. From countless tea-tastings, tea rituals & tea plantations to conferences with many fellow tea drinkers from different backgrounds.
In 2021 Andina Tea was born as a tea blog. Soon after I added an online store with teas from selected plantations around Australia.
Today, Andina Tea keeps evolving its selection of teas from Australia and around the world. Our approach keeps the sacred things sacred while bringing you the versatility of tea to modern times. We encourage you to experience your own tea journey while supporting your wellness goals.
Behind the name, there's a place
Pronounced "andeena". The business was named after The Andes. The Andes is a large mountain range located in the Western edge of South America where I had the chance to travel & explore several times. How not to feel inspired by this stunning place?
