About Us

Some stories begin with recipes, others with gardens. Ours begins with both.

Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.
My name is Alexandra, and I’m the founder of IVA PLANTS, a small independent brand rooted in nature, tradition and care. What began as a quiet family passion has grown into something that celebrates the natural world and the simple beauty of real ingredients.
IVA PLANTS carries a personal meaning. I, V and A are the first letters of the names of my family members, and PLANTS reflects what I work with in every blend: pure, plant based ingredients. It represents family, connection and respect for nature, the essence of everything behind this brand.

I create herbal teas crafted from pure dried plants without additives or flavourings. Each blend is designed to support everyday wellbeing, to calm, restore and bring comfort. Alongside the herbal collection, I offer Ceylon black teas and Japanese green teas, carefully chosen for their flavour, purity and origin.

I work with trusted growers who share my values of quality and sustainability. The black tea comes from an independent Ceylon garden, the green teas from a historic family farm in Kyoto, and the botanicals from respected English and European suppliers. Every ingredient is selected with care to ensure freshness and integrity in every cup.
For me, tea is more than a drink. It is a ritual of stillness, a small connection to nature and to the people who have tended it for centuries.

Always fresh. Always natural. That is not just a phrase, it is the way I work.

The story of IVA PLANTS began with tea, but it doesn’t end there. I keep drawing inspiration from my family’s traditions that reach back through many generations. With roots in nature and wellbeing, I continue to explore new ways to share what I love.
Some of these ideas come from my paternal line, where knowledge of plants and natural remedies dates back to the 1690s. Others are inspired by the women in my family, who passed down gentle recipes for care and calm. Together, they remind me that true craft takes time and heart.
I am currently working on something new, a creation that reflects both of these paths, and I look forward to sharing it when the time is right.

Thank you for being here.
