ItalianoTea Soul was founded by Anastasia, a lover of tea and oriental culture, who many years ago brought her experience and knowledge of the Eastern world to Italy. Thanks to her knowledge of tea, even today she collaborates with producers and artisans and has managed to create a community of connoisseurs of original high quality products, lovers of good taste and the variety of flavors and compositions of tea and accessories, a bridge between the world of culture Asian and European.
We offer a broad spectrum of remedies and plants from around the world, integrating different traditions that Anastasia has studied over the years, such as rainforest tribal styles, Ayurveda, Chinese-Taoist medicine and alchemy-style European. We believe that by preserving these ancient forms of indigenous botany, we are keeping alive a very sacred aspect to our source. Tea Soul was founded with the intention of combining ancient healing traditions and plant remedies as a form of primary healthcare for today’s world.

About the founder
“I am originally from Ukraine, where we use many herbal products in our daily life. But obviously the Chinese experience brings much more understanding in connecting ancient remedies to the modern world. My idea was to create a true base of holistic alchemy experience through the art of herbal medicine.
Since I was little, I have dedicated my studies to shamanic-style healing, practical energy work and botanical studies. I was born with intuitive sight and at the time I was shy and a little scared of the potential of this energy. And he always called me, I felt it in my hands and in my soul. I remember seeing auras and filler things that not all people were capable of, I was a little girl and didn’t know what to do or even how to talk to my family about it. I later learned to cultivate it and trained with psychics and healers who helped me convert this energy into a healing art that I could apply to this world.
For the last 5 years I have focused and studied South American tribal style herbalism, studying with plant medicine teachers in Peru and Colombia with local tribes.
I started working with tea during my life in southern China in 2008
In 2015 I opened Tea Soul in Italy, in Castronno. During my trip to China I was deeply fascinated by the 5 elements that form the basis of Traditional Chinese Medicine and all of the Chinese Metaphysics of Ba Zi and Feng Shui.
I wanted to create a company that not only provided products and services, but also cared about helping preserve indigenous lands and their local economies through organic farming and artisanal products.
And to show that a meditative lifestyle with Slow Tea Motion in our frenetic world full of industrial elements is worth stopping and drinking a cup of tea while thinking about yourself for a moment in a more conscious way.”

Tea in our everyday life
Tea has become an inalienable part of a healthy lifestyle. In traditional Chinese medicine, tea is considered the most beneficial of all herbs and the only one that can be consumed daily. In Chinese culture, it is said that you can go a day without food, but not a day without tea. It is easy to underestimate the cultural importance of tea and the fact that this importance has long been central to health, before it was considered the pleasure of consuming this drink. It is well known in China that tea stimulates mental clarity and calms the emotions. It tones vital energy, while relaxing muscles and making fatigue go away.

Our accessories
Through material testing, it was discovered that the qualities of the vessels influence the taste of the tea. In other words, each material creates a unique aroma and taste. Teas with different degrees of fermentation are better suited to different teapots. The perfect teapot can brew tea with a perfect mouthfeel. We love tea and therefore live and work by the motto – The perfect teapot for the perfect brew.
