Beyond the cup
The antioxidant powerhouse. Green tea, hibiscus, and rooibos each bring a different type of antioxidant to the cup — three layers of protection, not just one. Traditionally used for vitality, youthful energy, and daily immune support. Light caffeine from the green tea makes this a great morning or afternoon cup. Brew 1–2 tsp, steep 3–5 minutes (don't overbrew — the green tea gets bitter).
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
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
-
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
-
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
-
Tea · Contains caffeine
Green Tea
Camellia sinensis
The same leaf as black tea, with the oxidation stopped almost as soon as it starts — by pan-firing in a dry wok in China, by steaming in Japan. That one difference is why green tea is green, grassy and delicate where black is dark...
Grassy and vegetal with a clean sweetness; gunpowder is bolder and faintly smoky, chun mee plummy and less sweet
-
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
Good for
For keeping well
- Green tea, studied for its catechins, with rosehips and hibiscus
- Rosehips have long been valued in herbal tradition for their vitamin C
- Lightly caffeinated from the green tea base — a gentle morning lift
- A daily cup, hot or iced
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
Add a pinch of our Black Pepper Ground to boost absorption of the green tea catechins — piperine has been shown to more than double the amount your body takes in. For the full antioxidant stack, pair with our Rosemary — its carnosic acid activates the same protective pathway as the green tea through a different mechanism.

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!
