Where it all started

Slow Sip Tea was born from a small, family-run passion for herbal wellness, mindful living and meangingful connections. Our journey began with a simple truth: in the rush of modern life, we often forget to pause, to take a breath, to be present. Somewhere between back-to-back meetings, glowing screens, and the pressure to keep going, we lose sight of what really matters, connection, clarity, and a sense of peace.

The Modern Reality

After years in fast-paced corporate life, we felt the quiet weight of constant urgency, and burnout disguised as success. On paper, everything looked perfect: great jobs, good pay. But something was missing...time for what mattered, energy for what we loved, and space to simply be. And we discovered we weren't alone...

Grounded by rituals

Founders Carmen and Costas spent a combined 16 years in Asia, where tea is more than a drink; it is a moment of presence, a platform to connect, a ritual of care. Through tea, they found a way back to being present, and reap the benefits of nature's finest herbs. A simple ritual. A chance to breathe. A chance to feel. Now, they're sharing that with the world.

Our Philosophy

Slow Sip is not just as a tea brand, but a gentle invitation to slow down, to reflect, and to savour what is in front of us. To find stillness in the everyday, and meaning in the small things.

Each of our blends is thoughtfully crafted to support both body and mind with adaptogens, nootropics, and herbs that energise without overwhelm, ground without numbing, and clear the mind without losing the heart.

Because life is not just about getting somewhere, it is about enjoying the ride. The laughter, the detours, the quiet mornings, and the shared cups. We believe joy is not a destination, it is in the pauses we choose to make. This is our way of offering something different, a moment of reflection, a reminder for connection, an opportunity for joy and affection.

We're both deeply grateful for the opportunity to share our passion for plant-powered wellness with the world. Every cup of tea we create is a small act of connection,an invitation to slow down, sip with intention, and rediscover the power of nature. This journey of building a brand rooted in purpose has been both thrilling and humbling. We're constantly learning, exploring the science behind herbal traditions, and letting that knowledge shape what we offer. Like our blends, the path has its twists, but Slow Sip reminds us to stay present, trust the process, and enjoy the ride, one sip at a time.
