How to brew it
212°F / 100°C
Steep 5–7 minutes
Use 1–2 tsp per 8oz
Cannot over-steep: no tannins, so no bitterness however long you leave it
Beyond the cup
Steep into cream for a toffee panna cotta. Infuse into a simple syrup for drizzling over apple pie, ice cream, or pancakes. Brew strong and add to caramel sauce for a tea-toffee hybrid. Infuse into butter for the most indulgent shortbread you’ve ever made.
What’s in it
Every herb in the blend, and where to read about it on its own.
The pot marigold — not to be confused with the ornamental marigolds of the genus Tagetes, which have their own profile here. Calendula's reputation is largely topical, and as a tea ingredient the picture shifts: its most talked-about compounds, the faradiol triterpenoids, are fat-soluble and...

Butterscotch sweetness with a faint burnt-sugar bitterness behind it
Sliced or chopped almond pieces — thirteen products carry them, always in the dessert direction. In a tea blend almond brings a marzipan sweetness and a real richness that reads as creamy even in a cup with no milk in it, which is why it...
Marzipan sweetness with a soft, buttery richness; reads as creamy even without milk
Liquid toffee. Sip alongside caramel desserts, butterscotch, or apple crumble. Pair with our Cinnamon and Pumpkin Pie Spice for autumn baking, or our Vanilla Bean for a candy-shop evening.
