The ritual of tea can be a gentle invitation to the present, a whisper to our body, mind and breath.
It beckons us to slow the rush of thought, to savour a pause, and to linger in the stillness.

About Audrey and the Teacup
At Audrey and the Teacup, each blend is a testament to the art and science of naturopathy. Formulated with wellness in mind, every blend is personally handcrafted by me—I’m a naturopath and yoga teacher—and I want to assure you that every sip supports your health and well-being.
This journey is deeply personal. I grew up surrounded by a sense of elegance, thanks to my mother and grandmother Audrey, who would create the most beautiful events and tea parties. Those moments taught me the joy of ceremony and the warmth of sharing food and tea with loved ones.
sustainabilitySustainability is at the heart of what we do. Our products and packaging are predominantly biodegradable, ensuring that our enjoyment doesn’t come at the expense of the planet. We’re mindful of consumerism and strive to add something positive to the world with every product.
supporting LocalAs a company we’re deeply committed to our local community. From sourcing locally grown (wherever possible) organic herbs to partnering with nearby artisans—like ceramicists, packaging providers, and website designers—every choice we make supports and uplifts local businesses. We believe in the power of community and in contributing to each other’s growth.
innovationWe’re also committed to innovation. While we’re starting with a curated selection of blends and products, we have exciting plans to expand our range while keeping it intimate and manageable.
Ultimately, our products are designed to make you feel good in every way—from their health benefits to the sensory pleasure of holding them. We invite you to pause, sip, and savour a moment of mindful calm with us.
“I’m not great at sticking to morning supplement taking, but I have not missed a single day since starting my Gentle Cleanse pot first thing. My partner has also jumped on board and it has become our together time before the day start”
- Myshell“I’m just loving incorporating these beautiful teas into my daily routine. Gentle Cleanse is such a favourite. Warming, zesty and soothing it always leaves me feeling refreshed and clear.”
- claire“These tea blends provide lovely moments of pause to bookend my day. From my morning brew of 'daily cleanse' to my evening wind down with 'easeful sleep'.
- erin“I’ve lived with eczema since birth, and it’s always been a struggle. Since drinking ‘Gentle Cleanse’ tea, my skin feels calmer, with less redness across my face and body, and my eyes even look brighter!”

Meet Melinda
Hi, I’m Melinda Audrey. I’m a naturopath, yoga teacher, and wholehearted believer in the quiet magic of small, daily rituals.
For me, wellness has never been about grand overhauls or perfect routines — it’s about consistency and those simple, nourishing pauses that provide space to breathe, rest, reset and remember yourself.
Herbal medicine has been my love language for as long as I can remember, and through Audrey and the Teacup, I get to share that love in the most tangible way: hand-crafted, organic, small-batch tea blends.
Each one is thoughtfully made not just for its therapeutic benefits, but for the joy of the ritual itself — that moment you wrap your hands around a warm cup, inhale deeply, and feel the world slow down just a little.
My hope is that these blends become tiny anchors in your day — invitations to pause, to connect, to take care of yourself in the gentlest of ways.
Let your breath slow and your heart soften with five minutes of healing sound and gentle meditation.
Enjoy this complimentary meditation recording in collaboration with Keiko Smyth from Komorebi Living.
maker highlightAlyssa — Clae Space
Alyssa is the owner of Clae Space in Research, Victoria. A talented ceramicist, she’s spent her life creating in many forms — from crochet and macramé to painting, sewing, and baking. Always curious, Alyssa loves learning and is passionate about experimenting with new clays, glazes, underglazes, and techniques.
She’s also the wonderful creative behind our handmade teacups. Each cup is a little different, with its own unique character, yet all share a generous size and the same thoughtful design. Part of the brief we gave Alyssa was for the cups to feel beautiful, substantial, elegant, and earthy in your hands — and she’s captured that feeling perfectly.
“I took a box of calm focus to work to share with my colleagues. Such a beautiful way to maintain focus through the afternoon and also to connect with the team. Left work having all my tasks done! We love this tea so much.”
- flick“These beautiful tea blends have changed the way I drink tea. I don’t normally drink a lot of loose-leaf tea, but these blends have made it such a beautiful ritual where I can pause and be mindful, and it has made such a difference to me”
- Jules“Whenever I enjoy one of these delightful herbal teas I always make it my special time. Just to sit quietly and relax whilst savouring every sip.”
- pamela“This tea has become a little reminder in my day to slow down, be present, and savour the time that I have. It brings a sense of grounding and intention into my everyday routine, and I’m so grateful for that”
