What’s in it

Every herb in the blend, and where to read about it on its own.

  • Herb · Caffeine-free

    Ginger

    Zingiber officinale

    The universal connector — ginger appears in more products than any other ingredient in the collection. The dried root is chemically distinct from fresh ginger: drying converts gingerols to shogaols, which are about twice as pungent, and that is why dried ginger tastes deeper and...

    Pungent, warm, slightly sweet, citrusy (fresh); warm, mellow, deep (dried)

  • Herb · Caffeine-free

    Orange Peel

    Citrus sinensis

    Previously dismissed as 'just citrus,' orange peel contains hesperidin — a flavanone with genuine anti-inflammatory and cardiovascular evidence — plus polymethoxyflavones that show remarkable metabolic activity in preclinical studies. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, aged tangerine peel (chen pi) is one of the most prescribed herbs....

    Bright, citrusy, slightly bitter, aromatic

  • Herb · Caffeine-free

    Ginseng

    Panax ginseng

    The king of adaptogens — and one of the most expensive and extensively studied herbs on Earth. Panax ginseng (Asian/Korean ginseng) contains ginsenosides that modulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, supporting the body's stress response over weeks to months of use. Not a stimulant in the caffeine...

    Earthy, slightly bitter, warming, complex — woody with sweet undertones

  • Herb · Caffeine-free

    Mistletoe

    Viscum album

    One of the most culturally resonant plants in human history — sacred to the Druids, central to Norse mythology, where it killed the god Baldur, and a Christmas tradition worldwide. European mistletoe contains lectins and viscotoxins that have been studied extensively as an injectable preparation...

    Mild, slightly bitter, astringent, tea-like — surprisingly pleasant for a parasitic plant

  • Spice · Caffeine-free

    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

  • Herb · Caffeine-free

    Lemongrass

    Cymbopogon citratus

    A tropical grass with bright citrus flavor that hides genuine pharmacological activity. Citral — lemongrass's primary compound — relaxes smooth muscle through calcium channel antagonism, addressing the spastic component of digestive discomfort. The surprise: the tea's real bioactives are water-soluble polyphenols (caffeic acid at 20.81...

    Bright, lemony, clean, slightly grassy, refreshing

  • Spice · Caffeine-free

    Cardamom

    Elettaria cardamomum

    Green pods holding small black seeds, from a ginger-family plant of the Western Ghats — floral, resinous and eucalyptus-cool, quite unlike anything else in the cupboard. It is the third most expensive spice in the world after saffron and vanilla, which is why it is...

    Floral, resinous, eucalyptus-cool and sweet-warm; the main volatiles are terpinyl acetate and eucalyptol

  • Spice · Caffeine-free

    Cloves

    Syzygium aromaticum

    An unopened flower bud, picked and dried until it looks like a small nail — which is where the name comes from, via Latin clavus. Cloves are the loudest spice in the cupboard: eugenol makes up somewhere between 45 and 90 per cent of the...

    Hot, sweet, numbing and medicinal-warm

  • Spice · Caffeine-free

    Black Pepper

    Piper nigrum

    The dried unripe berry of a climbing vine — the mill on every table, and the most travelled object in any kitchen. Black, white and green pepper are all the same berry, picked at different moments and treated differently: black is picked unripe and dried...

    Warm, woody, resinous and sharp; the bite is piperine, roughly a hundredth as potent as capsaicin

  • Tea · Caffeine-free

    Rooibos

    Aspalathus linearis

    Not tea. Rooibos is a needle-leaved shrub of the pea family that grows in one mountain range in the Western Cape and nowhere else, and since 2021 the name has been legally reserved for it. It is the base of thirty-three products here for one...

    Honey, dried fruit and vanilla with a little wood; smooth, naturally sweet, never bitter. Green rooibos is malty and slightly grassy

  • Fruit · Caffeine-free

    Orange

    Citrus x sinensis

    Dried orange — pieces, and sometimes the blossom — as distinct from the dried peel sold as a spice. In a tea blend orange does something peel alone cannot: the fruit brings sweetness and body where the peel brings only the bright bitter oil. Eleven...

    Sweet, round citrus with a little bitterness behind it; brighter and less sharp than lemon

    Learn more

  • Fruit · Caffeine-free

    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

  • Fruit · Caffeine-free

    Lemon

    Citrus × limon

    Dried lemon — the fruit, the powder and the dried juice, as distinct from the dried peel sold separately as a spice. The difference is real: peel is aroma with no acid, while dried lemon and lemon powder bring the sourness too, which is what...

    Sharp, clean sourness with bright citrus aroma; the acid is what distinguishes it from lemon peel

Good for

For the long term

  • Ashwagandha, traditionally used in Ayurveda as a daily adaptogen, taken to help the body cope with stress
  • Ginger and ginseng, traditionally used as warming tonics
  • Bold, rooty and naturally caffeine-free
  • The cup named for the god of the mountain

These teas are foods, sold as such. Nothing on this page is intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

What it goes with

Double down on the vitality stack. Our Turmeric Ground adds prostate-supportive anti-inflammatory action, and the black pepper in the blend handles the absorption boost. Our Nutmeg Ground has its own traditional reputation as a men's wellness spice — just use a small pinch.
