End of Year Message from the Pax Team
As 2025 comes to a close, my heart is full of gratitude and joy as I reflect on the journey we have shared at Pax Herbal USA. This year has brought meaningful milestones, steady growth, and inspiring teamwork. Together, we have continued to advance our mission of bringing the healing wisdom of nature, rooted in centuries of African herbal tradition, to people across the world. To all our agents, distributors, clients, and supporters, you are the soul of this movement. Every conversation, every sale, and every story you have shared has helped us build a community grounded in natural wellness, sustainability, and hope.
A Landmark Year: Establishing Pax Herbal USA in California
The year 2025 will always stand out as a foundational chapter in our story. Through persistence, collaboration, and the unwavering support of our partners, Pax Herbal USA was officially registered in the state of California. This achievement represents far more than a legal milestone. It is a bridge connecting the proud heritage of Pax in Africa with our expanding mission in North America. We are especially grateful to our dear friends and partners at Bethel Natural Inc in California. Their steady support, local knowledge, and belief in our mission played a crucial role in helping us navigate this important process. Your commitment to seeing Pax flourish in the United States has been a true gift, and we remain deeply thankful.
The Birth of Our Signature Pax Tea Blends
One of our greatest accomplishments this year has been the successful development, formulation, and production of our signature Pax Tea blends. These teas represent years of research, traditional knowledge, and heartfelt dedication. They bring together ancient African herbal remedies with modern expectations for taste, purity, and quality. Each Pax Tea blend is organically grown, sustainably sourced, and certified by the California State Food and Drug Agency. This certification affirms our commitment to meeting rigorous standards while honoring our values of environmental stewardship, ethical farming, and consumer well being. Today, our teas are officially in circulation and are being warmly welcomed by individuals and wellness communities around the world. This achievement is a collective triumph, a testament to faith, hard work, and a shared belief in the restorative power of nature.
Building a Network of Pax Ambassadors
At the heart of our expansion is our growing family of Pax agents and distributors. Their passion continues to open new doors and inspire new possibilities. Throughout the year, our team has worked diligently to train, equip, and empower Pax agents with the knowledge and confidence to bring our products into their local markets. We are proud to see Pax agents emerging as ambassadors of well-being: from Texas to New York, San Pablo to Minneapolis, London to Canada, and many places beyond. Their enthusiasm is contagious, and their dedication is inspiring. Each agent is not only a representative of our brand but a champion of holistic living and natural health. We are profoundly grateful for your commitment and belief in our message. You are the lifeblood of our progress and the reason the Pax dream is becoming a global reality.
Recognizing Our Teams and Partners
As we continue to expand, we are reminded that no achievement stands alone. We express our deep appreciation to our team in California, whose support and commitment have strengthened our operations and outreach throughout the year. In particular, Father Aloysius, Mrs. Isabel, Frank and our colleagues at Bethel Natural Inc deserve heartfelt recognition for their collaboration, friendship, and steady support. We are also profoundly grateful to our IT specialist in Kansas City, whose remarkable skill and innovation have enhanced the digital infrastructure of Pax Herbal USA. His dedication and professionalism have made it possible for our business to function efficiently and securely in this digital era. Your contribution has been invaluable, and we are deeply thankful.
Digital Growth: Our Ecommerce Journey
The digital age has transformed how people communicate, learn, and discover wellness. Recognizing this shift, we placed strong emphasis on building our online presence and ecommerce systems throughout 2025. Our products are now officially available for order through the Pax Herbal USA website via our Shopify marketplace (paxherbalonline.myshopify.com), offering customers a trusted and convenient platform to explore our teas and wellness products. Looking ahead, 2026 will bring another exciting milestone with the launch of the Pax Amazon Online Marketplace. This expansion will allow us to reach wider audiences and make Pax Herbal products more accessible than ever before. Through digital storytelling, targeted outreach, and strategic partnerships, we aim to ensure that every interaction, from the first click to the final cup, reflects our commitment to authenticity, quality, and care.
Sustainability: The Soul of Pax
At Pax Herbal USA, sustainability is not a slogan. It is a guiding philosophy that shapes every decision we make. Every tea leaf in a Pax blend carries a story: the farmers who nurture it, the soil that sustains it, and the vision that seeks harmony between people and the planet. Our dedication to sustainable sourcing and organic certification ensures that each product supports personal health while also protecting ecosystems and livelihoods. We remain steadfast in our mission to care for both humanity and the environment, because true healing is always interconnected.
Looking Ahead: Stories That Inspire and a Future That Beckons
As we step into 2026, we are excited to deepen our global presence through storytelling. Our first newsletter of the new year will share the inspiring journey of Celia Omionawele, tracing her childhood in Nigeria and her path to becoming the Pax Herbal representative in Canada. Celia’s story beautifully captures the spirit of Pax. It reflects resilience, cultural pride, and a passion for holistic wellness that transcends borders. Through stories like hers, we hope to celebrate the people who bring Pax to life, individuals driven by purpose and a belief in the enduring grace of nature.
2026: A Year of Consolidation and Progress
The coming year promises to be one of consolidation, growth, and deeper international collaboration. With the official launch of Pax Herbal in Canada, we are laying the foundation for more structured global operations, stronger supply chains, and meaningful partnerships across regions. We envision Pax not simply as a company but as a movement where natural health, ecological responsibility, and cultural heritage come together in harmony. With each new product, each new story, and each new partnership, we continue to build a legacy that blends wisdom, wellness, and modern innovation.
Thank You From the Heart of Pax
None of our progress would be possible without you. To our agents, distributors, retailers, customers, partners, and friends of Pax Herbal USA, thank you. Your loyalty, encouragement, and belief in our mission have fueled every step forward. To our distributors who keep our teas on shelves, to our agents who share our message across cities and countries, and to our operational teams who keep everything running smoothly, we are deeply grateful.
From my present home in Collegeville, Minnesota, I also wish to acknowledge the Abbot and the Benedictine community of Saint John’s Abbey. Their incredible hospitality, openness, and constant encouragement have been a true blessing. Here, the Benedictine values of hospitality and awareness of God’s presence are lived with quiet grace and authenticity. The peace and support of this community continue to inspire my work for Pax Herbal each day.
As we close the chapter on 2025, let us celebrate how far we have come and look to the horizon with renewed determination. The year ahead is filled with promise, deeper impact, wider reach, and continued growth. Together, we are weaving a story that honors tradition, embraces innovation, and restores balance to mind, body, and earth.
From all of us at Pax Herbal USA, I wish you a joyful holiday season and a New Year filled with health, harmony, and hope.
With gratitude and optimism,
Fr Anselm Adodo, OSB
