Beyond the cup

The Ayurvedic answer to a scattered, anxious mind. Tulsi — the adaptogen herbalists call 'holy basil' — calms the stress response while chamomile quiets the brain directly. Two different approaches to the same problem. The warming spices (cinnamon, ginger, cardamom) ground the body, and fennel settles the stress-stomach. Traditionally used for nervous tension, worry, and the digestive upset that comes with it. Brew 7–10 minutes, covered. One or two cups daily — this one builds over weeks.

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

Chamomile
Matricaria chamomilla
The world's most beloved bedtime tea and one of the oldest herbal remedies in continuous use. Ancient Egyptians dedicated it to the sun god Ra. Its gentle, apple-like flavor hides a surprisingly specific mechanism: apigenin binds GABA-A benzodiazepine receptors, creating mild anxiolytic effects supported by...
Sweet, floral, apple-like, honey finish

Herb · Caffeine-free

Licorice Root
Glycyrrhiza glabra
Naturally about fifty times sweeter than sugar, licorice root is the harmoniser — it makes other herbs taste better while adding a deep, warm, anise-like sweetness of its own. It is one of the most used herbs in both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda. It...
Intensely sweet, warm, slightly earthy, anise-like

Herb · Caffeine-free

Tulsi (Holy Basil)
Ocimum tenuiflorum
Sacred in Hinduism and central to Ayurvedic medicine for over 3,000 years, tulsi is classified as a rasayana — an herb that nourishes the whole person. Modern research identifies it as a genuine adaptogen: multiple human trials show significant reductions in stress, anxiety, and fatigue...
Peppery, clove-like, slightly sweet, aromatic, complex

Herb · Caffeine-free

Fennel
Foeniculum vulgare
A sweet, anise-scented seed — the anethole in it is the same compound that makes anise and star anise taste the way they do, though the three plants are unrelated. Fennel is the sausage seed and the after-dinner seed at once: nineteen products here carry...
Sweet, anise-like, green and warm; toasted seeds pop and deepen

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

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

What it goes with

Complete the calm. Our Lavender Flower adds physical relaxation — the piece this blend doesn't cover on its own. Three calming pathways are better than two. Our Vanilla Bean brings a comfort aroma that signals 'wind down' to the brain before the compounds even kick in.
