Why Ylva?

Crafted for Women. Rooted in Nature. Backed by Intention.

Ylva Blends was created with a simple idea: to offer women a daily ritual that supports both body and mind during one of life’s most transformative phases, perimenopause and menopause.

We believe this time should be honored, not endured. That’s why we formulated our blends using carefully selected functional mushrooms and botanical ingredients long used to promote balance, calm, and clarity. No synthetic fillers, no added sugar, just pure, plant-powered support.

Our mission is to help women feel grounded, energized, and connected to themselves again. Whether you're beginning the journey or deep in the transition, Ylva is here to hold space for you, one cup at a time.

Thoughtfully made. Subtly delicious.

Ylva means “she-wolf” in Old Norse, a symbol of feminine strength, intuition, and resilience.

In Nordic folklore, the wolf is seen as a powerful, protective force. Instinctive, wise, and fiercely loyal to her pack. Just like the women we created Ylva Blends for.

We chose the name Ylva to honor that spirit. It’s a nod to our Scandinavian roots and the belief that menopause and perimenopause should be met not with silence, but with strength, community, and self-care.

Ylva is for the woman who leads with instinct. Who embraces change. Who nourishes herself, so she can show up fully in the world.

Rooted in Sweden. Made for women everywhere.

“Strong as the she-wolf. Calm as the forest. Grounded in her power.”

Co-founders · Lifelong Friends · Women Creating for Women

We’re Isabelle and Anna. Two Swedish women, creative souls, and long-time friends who met in high school and have been dreaming up ideas together ever since.

Though life took us on different paths, Isabelle as a digital marketing specialist, writer, and graphic designer based between Sweden and the US, and Anna as a store design and planning project manager living in Dubai, we’ve always shared a deep curiosity, a love of wellness, and an entrepreneurial spirit.

Now in our 40s and both navigating perimenopause, we found ourselves looking for natural, supportive ways to feel more balanced, energized, and grounded. When we couldn’t quite find what we needed, we did what we’ve always done: we created it ourselves.

Ylva Blends was born from our own journey, one filled with questions, laughter, research, and late-night calls across time zones. It’s our way of supporting women with something simple, beautiful, and nourishing to come back to every day.

From one cup to the next, we’re right there with you.
