Small Batch Tea With Big Flavour

Growing up in the Dandenong Ranges, siblings Anna and Peter were the odd ones out - they loved nature but refused to wear tie-dye. Their mother, a botanist, would brew herbal remedies (while rolling her eyes at crystal healing), and their chef father taught them flavor balance (while scoffing at "superfood" trends).

When their mother fell ill in 2015, they created tea blends that actually worked - no chanting required. Friends went wild for their "health tea you'd actually want to drink." One particularly patchouli-scented acquaintance called their market stall "so hippie dippie," to which Anna snapped: "We shower daily and pay taxes - we're SO NOT HIPPIE!" The name stuck.

"Our teas won't align your chakras, but they might make your taste buds do a happy dance."

Today, they still hand-blend small batches in Melbourne, proving you can care about ingredients without turning into a kale-munching, yoga-pant-wearing cliché. Their secret? Real flavor first, health benefits second - and absolutely no advice about your aura.

At So Not Hippie, we rebel against tea stereotypes:

• ✧ We Use Science - Not "ancient secrets" we read on a yoga retreat
• ✧ Flavor First - If it tastes like lawn clippings, that's a hard no
• ✧ No Judgement - Drink our tea while eating pizza, we don't care
• ✧ Actual Hygiene - Our staff bathe regularly (shocking, we know)
• ✧ Real Sustainability - Not just hashtags and virtue signaling

"Our teas might be good for you, but we won't make you quit your day job to become a reiki master."
