A First Nations-owned business that produces tea using native ingredients who won $250,000 in Gordon Ramsay's Food Stars Australia has not looked back since.

Earlier this year, Blak Brews recently walked away with a quarter of a million dollars after appearing on Gordon Ramsay's show, which showcases budding entrepreneurs wanting to break into the food and beverage industry.

The award also included a year's mentorship, currently underway, from the TV chef to assist Blak Brews to break into new markets.

The Melbourne-based company was founded by Troy Benjamin and his wife Cerisa in 2023, as the pair recognised a gap in the market for premium teas.

Their tea blends, including Red Centre, Desert Sunrise and Kakadu Sunset together celebrate Australia's diverse landscape.

The brews are also inspired by Troy's heritage - Tati Tati, Wadi Wadi, Muti Muti, Wamba Wamba and Walpiri, Gurindji and Jawoyn for Cerisa.

The pair not only want to craft tea using ethically sourced native ingredients but to also cultivate connection and engaging conversations.

The self-confessed tea barons are on a mission to bring First Nations culture into Australian households and to inspire meaningful connection and conversation, one cuppa at a time.

"I've always felt a strong connection to my community," Mr Benjamin said.

"Blak Brews reflects my passion for human connection— if we are successful in joining two people in conversation over a cuppa, then our job is done."

He said Winning Food Stars Australia 2024 was "an incredible honour" and he is "excited to continue this new journey, one cup at a time".

Mr Benjamin, who has more than 15 years of experience working in the hospitality industry - including running his own cafe in Melbourne - said many of the ingredients used in Blak Brews tea products are sourced locally in Victoria, where his products are also packaged.

He hopes to achieve 100 per cent Australian sourcing in the future.
