About Us

At PapaTea, we believe tea is more than just a drink – it is a moment of comfort, health, and connection. Founded by a family passionate about European tea traditions, we bring premium loose leaf blends directly to Australia. Each tea is carefully sourced from Europe and handpacked in Melbourne, ensuring you experience authentic flavours and natural benefits in every cup.

We stand for quality without unnecessary packaging costs. That’s why we focus on pure taste, freshness, and fair pricing, letting you enjoy tea the way it was meant to be.

Our Story: A Passion for the Perfect Cup

Here at PapaTea, our story begins with a simple, universal moment: that deep sigh of relief that comes with the first sip of a truly perfect cup of tea at the end of a long week. It's more than just a drink; it's a tea ritual. It’s a moment of calm, a jolt of energy, a journey to a faraway place, all from your favourite tea cup.

Born from a love for this ritual in the heart of Melbourne, one of Australia's great tea cities, PapaTea was founded on a single belief: that everyone deserves access to exceptional loose leaf tea. We grew tired of the ordinary and set out to become one of the most beloved tea brands Australia has to offer, creating blends that tell a story and delight the senses.

Our Philosophy: From Leaf to Cup

Our philosophy is simple: start with the best. We source premium black tea, vibrant green tea, delicate oolong tea, and a world of botanicals from trusted European suppliers. Each blend is then carefully considered, balanced, and handpacked with love right here in our tea shop Melbourne. This hands-on approach allows us to ensure every pouch we send out meets our exacting standards for quality and freshness.

We believe in transparency. Whether you're wondering what is black tea, exploring the difference between black tea vs green tea, or asking does tea have caffeine, we're here to guide you. Our passion is not just to sell tea, but to share the knowledge and joy that comes with learning how to brew loose leaf tea to perfection.

A Journey Through Our Collection

Our collection is a map of our adventures in flavour. It's where our story truly comes to life, with a blend for every mood and moment.

For moments of pure calm, we crafted our signature calming tea infusions. Find your balance in the refreshing mint and lemongrass of Alpine Meadow, or drift off with Nirvana, our ultimate tea for sleep with chamomile, lavender, and valerian root.

For lovers of tradition with a twist, we’ve reimagined the classics. Our Journey to France elevates the timeless Earl Grey black tea with notes of lavender and ginger, while Royal Infusion offers a bright, zesty citrus lift to a premium black tea base.

For a taste of adventure and escape, let our teas transport you. The bold, fruity Forest Berry Black Tea, Jumanji, is an adventure in a cup. Travel to the tropics with the vibrant Safari Sunset and its notes of banana and dragon fruit. The luxurious 1002 Nights offers a magical fusion of fruit and flowers, while the decadent Cleopatra Night Black serves as the perfect strawberry cream dessert tea.

For those who prefer a lighter touch, explore the gentle, coconut-kissed green tea of White Angel, or the vibrant, superfruit-powered Goji Berry Oolong. And for a taste of pure sunshine, the pineapple and soursop notes of Garden in Bloom are a true delight.
