Sipology, formerly known as Steeped Tea, appears to have ended its distributor-based operations. No official statement has been released, but its official website in the US is no longer accessible, and Sipology Founder Tonia Jahshan shared a message with distributors, saying:
Hello everyone,
This is one of the hardest messages we’ve ever had to write.
Sipology was never just a business. It was built in living rooms, around kitchen tables and through conversations over a simple cup of tea. It became a community because of you — your passion, your belief and the way you showed up for others every single day.
What you created went far beyond products. You created connection, confidence and moments that truly mattered. We are so deeply grateful.
Due to financial circumstances, we’ve made the incredibly difficult decision to close our doors. Online ordering has been halted immediately. Given the company’s financial position, we are unable to process commission payments.
There are no words to fully express how heavy this is to share, and how deeply we wish the outcome was different. At this stage:
- Orders already placed will be processed where possible
- No new orders will be accepted
- We will not be able to respond to individual inquiries moving forward
This decision comes after exhausting every option possible. What we built together mattered. It changed lives — including ours.
Thank you for years of belief, the energy, the laughter and the love you poured into this community. It has meant more than we can ever fully express.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Tonia, Hatem & the Sipology Team
No official statement has been released, and it remains unclear whether this will also affect Sipology’s manufacturing and retail operations.
Sipology was established in 2006 as Steeped Tea and experienced growth in 2012 when Tonia and husband Hatem pitched the business on Dragons’ Den, the Canadian version of Shark Tank. The company was rebranded as Sipology in 2018.
