— meet Shalese, our founder
The herbssaid otherwise.
Sip Teashop was born in 2018, when our founder Shalese turned to herbs for the stress symptoms her doctors said were all in her head. They worked — and she built Sip to share that relief with other women.
It started with a mug and a dream.
She started Sip Teashop in 2018 after experiencing stress-related symptoms like depression, anxiety, headaches, low metabolism, and hair shedding. She turned to herbs to help relieve the symptoms that her doctors told her were all in her head.
After leaning into teas, gardening, journaling, and meditation she finally relieved herself from the symptoms that were plaguing her. That's when she started Sip to help other women in the same position she was in.
After quitting her job, moving, having a baby, and sticking to it, she is finally seeing her mission gain legs. She has helped thousands of women get relief from their stress-related symptoms with her teas.
— what we believe
Our non-negotiables.
Small batch, always.
We blend in limited runs so every jar is fresh, potent, and tastes exactly like it should. No warehouse dust. No mystery ingredients.
Ethically sourced.
Our botanicals come from growers we actually know. Fair wages, sustainable practices, and zero sketchy supply chains.
Fun is non-optional.
Wellness culture can be so serious. We think your de-stress ritual should feel like a tiny party — colorful, cozy, and a little unhinged.
— the process
From plant to pouch.
Every blend starts with a mood. Need to unwind? We reach for chamomile, passionflower, and a hint of vanilla. Need focus? Hello, peppermint and rosemary.
We source whole-leaf botanicals (never dusty powder), cup-test every batch for flavor and potency, and package in resealable pouches that keep things fresh without the plastic guilt.
Our instant teas use real fruit and tea extracts — no artificial colors, no "natural flavors" that mean nothing. Just stir, sip, and feel it.
