The NutraTea Story: Ayurvedic Wisdom for Modern Wellness

Every cup tells a story.

At NutraTea, every cup tells a story, one rooted in nature, care, and a mission to support wellness through herbal wisdom. Founded by brothers Anish and Mikesh Patel, NutraTea blends tradition with science to create powerful, functional teas made from 100% active ingredients. Drawing on Ayurvedic principles and modern research, the brand is built on values of purity, transparency, and sustainability. From its pharmacist-led formulations to its B Corp certification and biodegradable packaging, NutraTea stands for integrity at every level. In this post, we share how the brand began, what makes it different, and how each blend is crafted to deliver real benefits, one soothing, purposeful sip at a time.

At NutraTea, we believe that wellness doesn’t need to be complicated, but it should be intentional. Whether you’re reaching for something to soothe, energise, or simply restore balance, each blend we craft is rooted in a simple yet powerful mission: to bring the time-tested wisdom of herbal medicine into the everyday lives of modern people.

Our story begins, like many great ideas, at home, with memories of herbal remedies passed down through generations and a shared passion for supporting wellbeing naturally.

A family legacy, a modern mission

NutraTea was founded by two brothers, Anish and Mikesh Patel. With backgrounds in pharmacy and accountancy, the pair brought together science, tradition, and business to create something entirely new.

Growing up, herbal remedies were a constant in their household – teas lovingly brewed to soothe, calm, or energise, depending on what the body needed most. These weren’t fads or quick fixes, but powerful rituals rooted in Ayurvedic traditions and passed down through their family.

Years later, inspired by those early experiences, the brothers began experimenting with their own blends. What started with a handful of carefully selected herbs in small batches soon grew into a fully-fledged independent brand. NutraTea was born, built on a desire to offer pure, purposeful blends that support health in a real, honest way.

What we stand for

At the heart of NutraTea is a commitment to quality, transparency, and trust.

We don’t believe in fillers, flavourings, or artificial additives, just 100% active herbs in every tea bag. Every ingredient is included for a reason and contributes to the functional benefit of the blend.

We also know that how we source and package our teas matters. That’s why we:

• Ethically source all herbs and botanicals
• Use fully biodegradable tea bags
• Deliver to retailers and stockists using electric vehicles whenever possible

As a proud B Corp certified business, we’re committed to doing better, for our customers, our communities, and the planet.

The science behind the sip

Our blends don’t happen by accident. Behind each cup is a thoughtful process that brings together Ayurvedic principles and modern research to create something truly effective.

Every product undergoes scientific oversight and rigorous quality control, ensuring that the herbs work synergistically and deliver real results. One of the most well-known examples is our use of turmeric with black pepper, a combination shown to significantly enhance the absorption of curcumin, the key active in turmeric.

It’s this level of detail that makes every NutraTea blend not only delicious but deeply purposeful.

Functional blends for everyday wellness

With over 33 functional teas in the range, there’s a blend to support nearly every area of health and wellbeing. A few favourites include:

• NutraRelax – with chamomile and lavender to promote calm and restful sleep
• NutraCleanse – a rich blend with dandelion root and artichoke to support digestion and detoxification
• NutraDefence – featuring eucalyptus and elderberry to support immune function
• NutraMother – gentle support for women during pregnancy and postpartum

Each blend is carefully crafted to help you feel your best, naturally, whether you’re winding down, powering up, or finding your balance.

Recognised for quality and impact

Our passion for quality and integrity hasn’t gone unnoticed. NutraTea blends have been awarded:

• Great Taste Awards
• Nourish Awards
• IHCAN Product Awards

But the recognition we’re most proud of? Becoming a certified B Corp. This status reflects our deeper commitment to social responsibility, sustainability, and transparency – values that have shaped our journey from the very beginning.

More than just a cup of tea

To us, tea is more than just a comforting ritual, it’s a way to connect with your body, support your health, and honour ancient wisdom in a modern world.

We’re proud to share that journey with you, one cup at a time.
