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

    Rose Petals

    Rosa gallica

    The honest assessment: rose petal tea's primary value is cultural, sensory, and ritualistic rather than pharmacological. Essential oil content in petals is vanishingly small (4,000 kg of flowers yields 1 kg of oil), so virtually all volatile terpenoids are lost in tea preparation. What the...

    Delicate, floral, slightly sweet, fragrant, subtle

  • Tea · Contains caffeine

    Black Tea

    Camellia sinensis

    The leaf of one evergreen shrub, fully oxidised. Black, green, white and oolong tea are all Camellia sinensis; what separates them is what is done to the leaf in the hours after it is picked. Black tea is withered, rolled to break the cells open,...

    Malt, honey, dark amber; brisk and full, with tannin enough to take milk

  • 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

    Blueberry

    Vaccinium spp.

    Dried blueberries and sometimes the leaf — seven products carry one or the other. The berry brings a deep, slightly winey sweetness and the anthocyanins that make a cup go purple-red; the leaf, like strawberry leaf, brings tannin and body rather than fruit. For a...

    Deep, winey sweetness with a soft acidity; stains the cup purple-red

  • Flower · Caffeine-free

    Cornflower

    Centaurea cyanus

    The blue in your tea. Cornflower petals are in eighteen products here and they are there to be looked at: the pigment, protocyanin, is one of the few真 blues in the botanical world, and it survives drying where almost nothing else blue does. They contribute...

    Almost nothing — a faint clove-like sweetness at most. It is in the blend for the blue

  • Fruit · Caffeine-free

    Cranberry

    Vaccinium macrocarpon

    Sharply tart — raw cranberries have an acidic taste that usually overwhelms their sweetness, which is why about 95 per cent of the crop is processed rather than sold fresh, and why the dried ones in a tea blend are almost always sweetened. Three products...

    Sharply tart with a deep fruit behind it; almost always sweetened in the dried form

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!
