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

  • 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

    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

    Kiwi

    Actinidia spp.

    Bright, green and tart, with a floral edge — dried kiwi keeps more acidity than most dried fruit, which is what makes it useful rather than merely sweet. One product carries it. Worth knowing: raw kiwifruit contains actinidin, an enzyme that acts as a meat...

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!
