In our fast-paced world, finding a moment to pause, breathe, and simply be is a rare gift. For Alexandra Schubert, the founder of Tea For Me – Airlie Beach, that realisation didn’t come easily—it was forged through a personal journey of chronic illness, resilience, and the slow art of healing.

Today, she brings that hard-won wisdom, along with beautifully crafted, small-batch teas, to the Airlie Beach Cruise Ship Markets.

A Journey from Illness to Healing

The story of Tea For Me began when Alexandra found herself navigating the difficult terrain of chronic health challenges. In her search for comfort, balance, and recovery, she turned her focus to the natural world, studying the benefits of traditional herbs, remedies, and the therapeutic rituals of tea.

“What started as a personal search for comfort and balance soon became a genuine passion,” Alexandra shares. “I fell in love with learning about the powerful connection between nature, wellness, and our everyday rituals.”

She began blending her own teas, experimenting with native Australian botanicals and comforting flavor profiles. When friends, family, and locals tried her creations, they fell in love with them too. What began as a private sanctuary of healing quickly bloomed into a proud, handmade Whitsundays business.

Small Batches, Big Heart

Unlike mass-produced, commercial tea brands, every single blend from Tea For Me is mixed, packed, and finished by hand. Alexandra focuses on clean, high-quality ingredients, creating flavour experiences that feel both deeply comforting and uniquely Australian.

Some of her signature blends include:

• Lemon Myrtle: A bright, refreshing herbal infusion celebrating one of Australia’s most beloved native botanicals.
• Campfire Black: A smoky, nostalgic blend designed to evoke the warmth of a crackling fire under a starry outback sky.

“For me, Tea For Me represents more than just tea,” says Alexandra. “It is proof that difficult seasons in life can lead us toward something meaningful, creative, and deeply rewarding.”
