Product Reviews by Experts


I love how much thought has gone into this blend. Knowing it has been created by a naturopath gives me confidence that the ingredients have been carefully selected to complement one another. The tea tastes beautiful, and I especially enjoyed the gentle hint of cinnamon. I also appreciate the reusable glass jar and refill options, which encourage a more sustainable way to enjoy tea. I was most impressed by the holistic approach to sustainability and ethics across the entire business. From manufacturing locally in Australia and using refillable glass packaging to supporting First Nations enterprise, mentoring future practitioners and building long-term relationships with suppliers, it’s clear these values are embedded throughout every aspect of the business and reflected in the decisions they make at every stage.


I enjoyed the balanced flavour profile and the thoughtful combination of organic herbs. It feels like a well-crafted daily tea that’s designed to support wellbeing without relying on caffeine or unnecessary additives. I was particularly impressed by the refill-focused packaging, renewable-powered manufacturing and long-term partnership with a local First Nations social enterprise. These are tangible initiatives that show sustainability is genuinely embedded in the business.


Love the freshness of this tea! Very uplifting and a pleasure to drink. Appreciate its packaging in the glass tube. Presents well too. Also that it is locally made in a sustainable fashion.
