Who We Are

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide outstanding products and services designed to enhance digestive health and mental well-being. We're all about quality ingredients, sustainability, and innovative flavors. We've set our sights on offering products and information that we feel good giving to our friends and family. Whenever possible we source organic and fair-trade ingredients and materials.

About Us

We are a small business in Honolulu, Hawaii with a passion for herbal wellness and helping people.

At Mind&Gut, we are passionate about crafting high-quality, premium herbal tea blends that are as pure and natural as they are delicious. We carefully source only the finest organic herbs and botanicals, supporting sustainable farming practices that prioritize the health of both people and the planet. Our commitment to quality means you never have to worry about additives, fillers, artificial sweeteners, flavors, or sugars. Just real, wholesome ingredients grown with care. By choosing organic and sustainably harvested herbs, we ensure that every cup of tea is free from harmful chemicals and full of natural goodness. You can rely on us to provide teas that are not only flavorful but also nourishing, ethical, and truly good for you.

We are committed to using sustainable, recycled, and eco-friendly materials for our packaging and shipping as much as we can. Our loose-leaf teas are packaged in kraft paper pouches and that are resealable, reusable bags, ensuring freshness while reducing waste. We carefully choose materials that are reusable, recyclable, or biodegradable, minimizing our environmental footprint without compromising quality. From our packaging to our shipping materials, we strive to make our business as sustainable as possible—because a better planet starts with the small choices we make every day.
