Working 20-25 hours weekly, the owner handles blending and packaging, with peak business months in April, October, and January. Wholesale orders—which contribute to 60% of sales—are primarily sourced via the website and email, while retail orders average $91. The top-selling product is a popular tea available in a small jar. Logistics are streamlined with automation for customer shipping updates, and there is outsourcing potential for packaging.

The business enjoys a registered trademark within Australia and sustained growth with minimal marketing. Currently, the owner is contemplating a reduced commitment due to family priorities and a focus on naturopathy. Historically, the business has turned over more than $250,000 annually, necessitating temporary help and consideration of expansion efforts. Potential growth avenues include leveraging social media strategies and search engine optimization. The sale includes stock valued at approximately $20,000 and represents an opportunity for someone with a passion for tea to further develop and scale.
