Min systers tehus

30/12/2023

Dear friends and tea-lovers,

More than ten years ago we fell in love with our idea of a company named Min Systers Tehus, a company selling tea of high quality that we couldn’t find in any stores, cafés or restaurants. Coming from complete other disciplines the learning curve was steep and the journey long. When we finally found the organic tea plantation in China growing our favorite tea Long Jing, we were so happy. Then we found organic black tea in Sri Lanka and organic herbal tea from Europe. We selected the tea carefully, based upon the taste, the quality and the health benefits.

We worked together with our dear Hanna Werning who designed the logo, the labels, the tins. It was just so much fun working with her, being on her side in the creative process, in her beautiful atelier. It took time to link the whole production chain, the flow of the products from plantation to you. It was still in the early days of online shopping. So many people saying it wouldn’t work, so many others cheering on our side. Oh, dear the struggles we had with customs, Livsmedelsverket, organic certification and more. It never really felt that they were on our side, rather the opposite. We can share so many stories that would make you laugh and cry, stories about what happened navigating in an often weird system.

During the years we have done numbers of Tea Tasting, Tea Makers Dinners, Tea Meditation, and we have loved every second of it. Working together as sisters, sharing our passion with others, has been pure joy.

As this year concludes, so does the journey of Min Systers Tehus. After a decade of hard work, love and passion, we have decided to close down.

We would like to thank you, cheering friends, families and tea-lovers, for buying, enjoying and drinking our tea. We would be nothing without you. Thank you!

We would love to give you a last chance to buy what is left of our favorites at half the price – Long Jing, Tie Guan Yin and Chamomile, both in tin and refill, before we close down fully – January 15, 2024.

We wish you a happy New Year 2024 filled with many moments of fantastic tea.

Love,
Maria and Pernilla

Read about Panzi Hospital, Dr Mukwege and my sister Maria Hogenäs work in Congo in the latest Faktum. It is a great article about a tremendously important work where women, birth, children, peace and overcoming trauma are in the centre. True peace work that matters and creates impact for real. I’m so proud of you sister! When you buy tea from us, parts of the money goes to the work in Panzi.

Happy and delightful 2022 from us sisters

We just want to start this year in gratitude. We bow in deep gratitude to all of you that have contributed in different ways to Min systers Tehus through out this last year, 2021. You have all supported us through buying our tea, attending our tea meditations, tea tastings, arranging events for us and with us and served or sold our teas. You might have liked and shared our postings, talked about us to friends or offered our tea to someone close to you.

It's thanks to each and every one of you that we are able to continue our passion for tea and give back through our foundation to the Panzi Hospital, the heart of our foundation during 2021. We are deeply touched.

Wishing you all a happy and healthy year full of beautiful tea moments,

Pernilla and Maria

Watch the Long Jing leaves become alive in the water, dancing down to rest at the bottom. You know you never need a strainer for green tea, it develops and sinks by itself. 🍵

'Make tea, not war' is a famous quote by Monty Python loved by us pacifist tea drinkers. It seems so much smarter, so much easier to invite someone for tea to discuss the disagreements instead of creating a war. Easy to point at the world around us, at leaders who should do things differently. Bu...
