Tropical and bold. The mango-pineapple punch is strong enough to cool mild spice heat, making this the fruit green that works alongside Thai and Southeast Asian food. Brew cold for summer iced tea. Use as a base for tropical smoothies.

Tea · Contains caffeine
Sencha Green Tea
Camellia sinensis var. sinensis
Japan's everyday tea and the most popular tea in Japan — steamed for fifteen to twenty seconds to stop oxidation, then rolled and dried into thin dark needles. The steaming is what separates it from a Chinese green: it gives sencha the grassy, faintly seaweed-like...
Grassy and vegetal with a touch of seaweed and a clean sweet finish; greenish-gold in the cup
-
Fruit · Caffeine-free
Pineapple
Ananas comosus
Dried pineapple — eleven products carry it, and it is the tropical note in this catalogue. It holds a real acidity through drying, which is unusual and useful: pineapple gives a fruit blend a sharp edge that reads as fresh rather than as sour the...
Sweet and sharply acidic with a tropical, faintly resinous edge that survives drying
-
Fruit · Caffeine-free
Mango
Mangifera indica
Dried mango pieces — eight products carry them. Mango is the sweetest and most perfumed of the tropical fruits in this catalogue, and it is soft rather than sharp: where pineapple brings acid, mango brings body and a heavy floral sweetness. It also colours a...
Heavy, perfumed sweetness with a soft body and very little acidity; colours the cup gold
-
Flower · Caffeine-free
Blue Mallow
Malva sylvestris
Reddish-purple petals with dark stripes that do something no other ingredient in this shop does: brewed on their own they give a blue-violet cup, and the colour shifts when you add something acid. That is not a trick — the flowers' pigment is pH-sensitive enough...
Very mild and faintly sweet, with a soft, slightly slippery body from the plant's mucilage
What it goes with
The tropical green that can handle spice. Sip alongside Thai curry, spring rolls, or fish tacos with mango slaw. Pair with our Thai Green Curry Powder or Vietnamese Lemongrass Rub for a full Southeast Asian dinner.

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!
