Beyond the cup

The tea IS the dessert. Steep into cream for an apple-cinnamon custard. Reduce with brown sugar into a syrup for pancakes, waffles, or ice cream. Use as the liquid in apple cake batter — brew strong, let cool, swap for water. Steep into cider for a non-alcoholic mulled cider.

    Honeybush

    Cyclopia spp.

    Rooibos's lesser-known cousin from the same South African fynbos region. Honeybush gets its name from the honey-scented yellow flowers and the sweet, honey-like flavor of the brewed tea. The unique compound mangiferin (also found in mango) provides antioxidant and anti-diabetic activity. Naturally caffeine-free, low in...

    Cinnamon

    Cinnamomum verum, C. burmannii, C. loureiroi

    The inner bark of a laurel tree, peeled, dried and curled into quills. Three different trees are sold under the one name, and the shop carries all three: Ceylon (Cinnamomum verum), the soft, papery, floral one from Sri Lanka; Korintje (C. burmannii) from the Kerinci...

    Sweet, woody, warm — Ceylon floral and citrusy, Korintje smooth and familiar, Saigon bold and fiery-sweet

    Apple

    Malus domestica

    Dried apple pieces are the workhorse of fruit tea, and twenty-six products here carry them — more than any other fruit. They are doing a structural job rather than a flavour one: apple gives a fruit infusion its body and a mild background sweetness, and...

    Mild, sweet and lightly tart, with a soft body; it rounds out a blend rather than leading it

Maple Peach

The maple peach is delicious. What a beautiful combination. I will most definitely order it again, and a higher quantity of it.

Always handy

I use dillweed often. This dill is fresh and has a nice aroma. I use it in marinades, salad dressings, and on fish. Good stuff.
