Hi, I’m Bethan – founder of St. Julien Tea.

​

What began in 2019 as a love letter to tea has grown into a small but passionate tea company based in Melbourne, Australia.

Since our early days selling at local markets and through independent stockists, we’ve focused on handcrafting unique blends that honour both tradition and creativity.

​

In 2023, I opened St. Julien Tea House in Surrey Hills with my mum, Benetta. It was a dream come true – a cosy, light-filled space where we served our signature teas alongside scones, brunch, and high tea. We met hundreds of wonderful guests, many of whom became regulars and friends.

 

In 2025, we made the heartfelt decision to close the tea house and return to what we love most: sharing tea directly with our community through our online store.

​

My connection to tea runs deep – I’ve been sipping since I was nine months old (thanks, Mum and Dad), and my curiosity has taken me across Europe in search of hidden tea cultures, mountain-grown herbs, and timeless rituals. I’m also a qualified Master Herbalist and grow many of the botanicals used in our blends right in my own garden.

​

At St. Julien Tea, everything is loose leaf, naturally caffeine-free or ethically sourced, and free from artificial flavours, colours, or enhancers. Every blend is created with care – inspired by European tea traditions, Melbourne’s seasons, and a deep respect for nature’s intelligence.

​

Thank you for being part of this journey. I hope our teas bring comfort, creativity, and a little magic to your day.

​

With love,
Bethan
