A lifelong love of herbs

Herbal tea has been part of my life for as long as I can remember.

Long before Eden’s Tea existed, there was a little girl whose grandparents reached for home-grown or wild-foraged chamomile to soothe an irritable baby. As I grew, a warm cup of herbal tea became part of my evening routine, and by my teenage years I was seeking out little herbal tea shops whenever we visited the city, fascinated by shelves lined with blends I’d never seen before.

Looking back, I realise herbs didn’t become part of my story. They’ve been there since the very beginning.

A personal journey

Everything changed over seventeen years ago when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism.
After feeling frustrated that conventional medicine could manage my condition but offered few answers for helping me feel well, I began learning about the relationship between food, lifestyle and health. Suddenly there were long lists of foods to avoid, and for someone who loved cooking and experimenting in the kitchen, those restrictions felt incredibly discouraging.
Herbs became a new outlet for my curiosity.

Learning through nature

What began as a search for answers soon became a lifelong passion. For more than seventeen years, I’ve immersed myself in the study of herbs, exploring both traditional herbal wisdom and modern research, always with the curiosity of a lifelong student. They opened the door to a whole new world of learning, creating and experimenting, and I discovered the simple joy of working with plants.
Along the way, I was fortunate to be guided by a wonderful naturopath whose wisdom and encouragement helped shape my journey. More than seventeen years later, she remains a trusted and valued part of my healthcare team, and I continue to be grateful for her guidance.

As my knowledge grew, so did my collection of jars filled with dried herbs. I blended teas for myself, then for family and friends. Those jars travelled with us from home to home and even around Australia in our caravan. Wherever we went, my little herbal apothecary came too.
Then, on a sunny afternoon in January 2023, while sitting outside with a mug of one of my own blends, a simple thought appeared:
“Maybe other people would enjoy these too.”

The birth of Eden’s Tea

I created a Facebook page, reached out to a friend who already had a small business to ask where to begin (thank you, Paula!), and after many ideas were tossed around the dinner table, I realised the simplest name was the right one.
Eden’s Tea was born.

Since then, what began as a lifelong passion has grown into a business I’m incredibly grateful for. We’ve shared our teas at local markets and special events, created personalised blends for customers, partnered with wonderful local retailers, and most recently developed an exclusive signature collection for a local café.

For me, Eden’s Tea has never simply been about tea.
It’s about sharing something that has brought joy, comfort and connection throughout my own life, and hoping that each cup invites someone else to slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy a small moment of peace.

From a tiny cup of chamomile given to soothe an irritable baby, to the blends I handcraft today, herbs have been one of life’s greatest gifts. It is a privilege to share that lifelong love with you, one cup at a time.
