How to brew it
- 212°F / 100°C
- Steep 5–10 minutes
- Use 1–2 tsp per 8oz
- No tea leaf and no caffeine, so a long steep only deepens it
Beyond the cup
Reduce into a deep purple syrup for cheesecake, pancakes, or swirling into yogurt. Steep into cream for a berry-violet ice cream base. Freeze into the most intensely berry popsicles you’ve ever made. Brew strong and use as a cocktail base — it stands up to gin, vodka, and sparkling wine.
What’s in it
Every herb in the blend, and where to read about it on its own.
-
Herb · Caffeine-free
Hibiscus
Hibiscus sabdariffa
The tart red one, and the ingredient whose colour is the point: those anthocyanins make a cup that is genuinely ruby, not brown. Hibiscus has been studied more than almost any other herbal infusion, and unusually the studies used the tea itself rather than an...
Tart, cranberry-like, fruity, deeply colored
-
Herb · Caffeine-free
Elderberry
Sambucus nigra
The dark berry of the cold season in European tradition — elderberry syrup is one of those things a grandmother made. Its anthocyanins are the same class of pigment as hibiscus's, which is the chemistry behind how often the two are blended. One honest note...
Deep berry, slightly tart, earthy undertones, wine-like when concentrated
-
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
Rosehips
Rosa canina
The fruit of the wild rose, containing 20 to 40 times more vitamin C than oranges in its fresh form. Here's the catch: most of that vitamin C degrades during drying and steeping. What the tea actually delivers is proanthocyanidins — water-extractable tannin antioxidants —...
Tart, fruity, slightly sweet, cranberry-like
-
Fruit · Caffeine-free
Blueberry
Vaccinium spp.
Dried blueberries and sometimes the leaf — seven products carry one or the other. The berry brings a deep, slightly winey sweetness and the anthocyanins that make a cup go purple-red; the leaf, like strawberry leaf, brings tannin and body rather than fruit. For a...
Deep, winey sweetness with a soft acidity; stains the cup purple-red
-
Fruit · Caffeine-free
Strawberry
Fragaria × ananassa
Dried strawberry pieces and sometimes the leaf — ten products carry one or the other, and they are not the same ingredient. The fruit brings sweetness and that unmistakable jammy smell; the leaf brings a mild, slightly tannic, tea-like character and no strawberry flavour at...
Sweet and jammy with a fresh, almost green edge; the leaf is mild, tannic and tea-like
-
Fruit · Caffeine-free
Raspberry
Rubus idaeus
The dried fruit — distinct from raspberry leaf, which is a herbal ingredient with its own profile and no raspberry flavour whatsoever. The berry is sharp, perfumed and fragile: it brings the highest, brightest note in a berry blend, and it is the first thing...
Sharp, bright and perfumed; the highest note in a berry blend and the first to fade
-
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
Black Currant
Ribes nigrum
The most intensely flavoured berry in this shop, and the one that most needs company. Raw blackcurrants have a strong, tart flavour that has to be moderated by combining them with other fruit — which is exactly what a blend does. Five products carry them....
Strong, tart and deeply winey; too intense to stand alone, which is why it is always blended
-
Fruit · Caffeine-free
Saskatoon Berry
Amelanchier alnifolia
The most local fruit in this shop, and one most Canadians outside the Prairies have never eaten. Saskatoons have a sweet, nutty taste — closer to almond and blueberry together than to either alone — and they grow wild right across western Canada, including around...
Sweet and nutty, with an almond note behind the berry — less sharp than a blueberry
-
Fruit · Caffeine-free
Blackberry
Rubus spp.
Both the fruit and the leaf appear in this shop's blends, and they are not the same ingredient. The berry is deep, winey and a little tannic; the leaf, like raspberry and strawberry leaf, brings tannin and body with no berry flavour at all, which...
Deep, winey and a little tannic; the leaf is tannic and tea-like with no berry flavour
What it goes with
The berry bomb. Dark, deep, and loaded. Sip alongside dark chocolate, cheesecake, or aged cheddar. Pair with our Lavender Flower for a berry-floral baking night, or our Vanilla Bean for berry-cream desserts.

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.

It worked beautifully; perhaps if I add a little more honey, it would make it better… It is a wellness tea, after all!
