Organic Merchant produces a premium range of award winning, naturopathically formulated, ACO certified organic loose leaf teas. The wholesaler and online retailer is based in Sydney and successfully stocked Australia-wide in over 180 locations. Organic Merchant was founded in 2011 by Chalimah Jeanne, and officially became a company in October 2016.With a childhood spent in remote Western Australia with a green-thumbed family and the opportunity to travel 1000's of kilometres of Australia's vast land, an immense reverence for the free and wild spirit that this earth offers up, was instilled within Chalimah. It was a natural step for her to study horticulture which then led her to naturopathy, combining her love for plants and the healing powers of herbs. This love can be found - and tasted - in each blend of Organic Merchant tea. The product range features over 45 different combinations of native Australian fruits and herbs (which have been a staple for our first peoples for thousands of years) with more traditional herbs known from ancient Western, Chinese, Peruvian and Ayurvedic medicine. After many years formulating tea blends for critically ill patients, Chalimah was able to craft the perfect balance of great taste and high functionality. This has been validated by the numerous blind-tasting awards the brand has won over the years including Gold for Best Herbal Tea and Best Non-Traditional Tea at the Golden Leaf Awards in 2018 and 2019.Protecting and nurturing the planet and our bodies is paramount to Organic Merchant. Each tea blend is free from additives, has no preservatives, no artificial colours or flavours, are chemical free, non-GMO, cruelty free, sugar free, gluten free and vegan friendly.All ingredients are 100% ACO certified organic sourced from respected and reputable organic growers in addition to wildcrafted indigenous plants from certified suppliers who can ensure the continued survival and safety of native species.
