TEAMANTRA was born from a deep passion for holistic health and personal wellness shared by its co-founders, Lisa and Polly. Both women grapple with ADHD and consequent anxiety, which adds complexity to their already busy lives. Lisa also manages epilepsy, and while medication controls her seizures, she has experienced various side effects throughout her adult life, including depression, chronic fatigue, and low fertility - all while navigating the stresses of modern life.

As a result of their personal health journeys, they have both embraced holistic healing practices, including psychotherapy, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), yoga, pilates, and mindful breathing.

Despite both coming from the coffee industry, both women felt the need for an alternative way of caffeination that wouldn't exacerbate anxiety or cause jitters. When they combined matcha with some of the adaptogenic superfood powders, they discovered that matcha could mask the often unpleasant taste associated with adaptogenic superfoods like Reishi.

TEAMANTRA's mission is to help individuals align with themselves and practice self-care in a chaotic world. The pair envision creating moments of peace, mindfulness, and wellness through the ritual of drinking matcha. Their goal is to inspire customers to take time for themselves, calm the mind, and nurture overall well-being.
