Byron Bay Tea Company

As a naturopath and herbalist, I have an implicit interest in holistic health. And, I'm an avid tea-drinker. It's a habit inspired by indigineous communities and cultures all over the world which have long appreciated the remedial properties of tea and herbs. Prompted by the healing properties of herbs and keen to turn a cultural tradition into modern day practice, I founded the Byron Bay Tea Company (BBTC). For years I had brewed my own herbal teas using full-flowered ingredients from my own garden in Byron Bay. I took the process a little further with the development of a signature range of organic herbal tea blends which were launched under the BBTC moniker. By selecting the most beneficial parts of the highest quality plants- and blending them with a range of exotic spices, dried fruits and vanilla bean- I was able to create a tea-drinking experience that was as tasty as it was healthy. Encouraged by the overwhelming response from customers, a traditional and oriental tea range soon followed. It proved as popular as its herbal predecessor and BBTC's product lines have continued to prosper ever since. From intimate market stalls to national prominence the BBTC journey has been swift. Now supplying our products all over Australia- to Emirates Wolgan Valley Resort and Spa, Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat, Gaia Retreat and Spa, Hayman Island and Vue de Monde- just to name a few! Today our tea range continues to evolve as I experiment with form and flavour. So, whether you are a tea-time tenderfoot or a serious sipper, I trust you'll enjoy your BBTC cuppa.
