Chalimah Jeanne is a Naturopath and Founder of award-winning premium wellness brand Organic Merchant. With a childhood spent in remote Western Australia, she fell in love with the free and wild spirit that the land offers up. It was a natural step for her to study horticulture which then led her to naturopathy.
After many years formulating tea blends for critically ill patients, Chalimah was able to combine her love for plants and the healing powers of herbs and craft the perfect balance of great taste and high functionality. This love can be found - and tasted - in each blend of Organic Merchant tea leading to numerous blind-tasting awards over the years including Gold for Best Herbal Tea and Best Non-Traditional Tea at the Golden Leaf Awards.
Organic Merchant’s product range features teas, tisanes and cacao powders featuring combinations of native Australian fruits and herbs with more traditional herbs known from ancient Western, Chinese, Peruvian and Ayurvedic medicine.
