Perfect for

  • High tea
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

The lighter rooibos — grassy, clean, almost green tea–like but caffeine-free. Cold brew for a crisp iced tea. Use as a broth base for light soups — it adds body without sweetness. Steep into light vinaigrettes for salad dressing. Won’t go bitter, so let it steep as long as you want.

What it goes with

The rooibos for people who don’t love rooibos. Lighter and grassier than the red. Sip alongside salads, light cheeses, or grilled chicken. Pair with our Herbes de Provence or Greek Seasoning for a Mediterranean dinner.

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!
