Each blend has been years in the making, taking learnings from modern science, ancient Western, Chinese, Peruvian and Ayurvedic teachings.
Our products are crafted with the philosophy of purity and beauty, brewing a kaleidoscope of colours and aromas to enchant the senses, heal the body and soothe the mind.
We hand-blend everything fresh in Sydney, delivering the highest quality tea, beautifully presented and sustainably packaged with care and consideration.
Every part of creating our product range is thoughtfully curated over time with consideration and care.
“I believe that simple daily pleasures such as consuming a pure cup of organic herbal tea can be one of the most nourishing practices, and a thing of beauty.” – Chalimah Jeanne
Where did it all start?
Ten years ago, OM founder Chalimah Jeanne was practising as a naturopath when she began creating tea blends for her clients with wellness in mind. They were so popular that she began selling them at markets on the weekends and it grew from there. What started out as 12 tea blends sold at Paddington Markets has expanded to one of Australia’s leading wellness tea brands.
Being a naturopath is not just Chalimah’s vocation but her way of living – an oath to live with purity, mindfulness and in awareness of nature.
OM’s commitment to using 100% certified organic produce is a reflection of this.
We believe organic consumables are not only better for people, but also for the planet. Our everyday choices are guided by whether or not it will be a good choice for our customers and the planet.
