Sophisticated Tea for the Discerning Palate

Founded in 2016 by siblings Alana and Pietro, So Not Hippy emerged from a simple observation: why must quality tea come with a side of crystal healing and unsolicited life advice?

Growing up in Melbourne's Dandenong Ranges, they were surrounded by nature but never felt compelled to wear tie-dye or discuss chakras. Their mother, a botanist, taught them about plants and their properties. Their father, a chef, taught them about flavor and balance. Together, they created something unique: tea that's sophisticated, not sanctimonious.

"We believe in quality ingredients, not crystal healing. Our teas are crafted for people who appreciate the finer things in life, but don't need a guru to enjoy them."

Today, we source the finest tea leaves from ethical suppliers worldwide, blend them with precision, and deliver them to your door. No spiritual awakening guaranteed, just exceptional flavor and quality you can trust.

At So Not Hippy, we operate on three simple principles:

• ✓ Quality Over Quantity - We source only the finest ingredients from ethical suppliers
• ✓ Flavor First - Every blend must taste exceptional, health benefits are a bonus
• ✓ No Pretension - Great tea shouldn't require a lifestyle change or spiritual awakening
• ✓ Transparency - We're clear about what's in our tea and why it's there
• ✓ Sustainability - Ethical sourcing and minimal environmental impact

"We're not here to change your life. We're here to make your tea time better."
