Gerringong-based business, the PROPPR, owned by entrepreneurs Zhenya Gerson and Jacqueline Clark, is expanding its mission to improve gut health with the launch of PROPPR-tea. Already celebrated for their multi-award-winning PROPPR toilet foot stool, this new range of therapeutic herbal teas is designed to offer natural digestive support while being a pleasure to drink.

The idea for PROPPR-tea emerged from Zhenya’s extensive experience as a colonic hydrotherapist and gut health specialist. At her clinic, she often recommended specific herbal teas to clients to help stimulate digestion, and ease symptoms like constipation and bloating. When a favourite tea was discontinued, Zhenya and Jacqueline partnered with a naturopath to develop their own certified organic blends. Collaborating with the Berry Tea Shop, renowned for its commitment to quality ingredients, they perfected two signature teas in small batches:

• MoVE: A gentle bowel-support blend crafted to encourage natural movement with ease.
• SooTHE: A calming tea designed to alleviate bloating and support digestion after indulgent meals.

“Our goal was to create teas that not only worked effectively but were also enjoyable to drink,” says Jacqueline. “Herbal remedies can sometimes taste medicinal, but we wanted PROPPR-tea to feel like a treat.”

With an emphasis on therapeutic benefits, high-quality ingredients, and great taste, PROPPR-tea is crafted for regular, long-term use. Small-batch production ensures freshness and maintains the premium quality of the ingredients.

Currently, PROPPR-tea is available online through their website, with pick-up or drop-off available for local customers (select local pick up at the checkout), and they also offer a subscription for regular deliveries. The pair are working with local health practitioners, including physiotherapists, nutritionists and wellness clinics. Future plans include further expansion in Australia and the US, for both their PROPPR-teas and original award-winning foot stools.

With the holiday season approaching, PROPPR-tea and the PROPPR stool make thoughtful and practical gifts for anyone focusing on wellness. The teas provide a simple way to incorporate therapeutic benefits into everyday life, while the stool remains an enduring bestseller, even featured on Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop Guide and the New York Times Wirecutter ‘top pick’ list for toilet foot stools for four years running.
