What’s in it
Every herb in the blend, and where to read about it on its own.
-
Herb · Caffeine-free
Calendula
Calendula officinalis
The pot marigold — not to be confused with the ornamental marigolds of the genus Tagetes, which have their own profile here. Calendula's reputation is largely topical, and as a tea ingredient the picture shifts: its most talked-about compounds, the faradiol triterpenoids, are fat-soluble and...
Mild, slightly peppery, earthy, mildly bitter — provides golden color to blends
-
Tea · Contains caffeine
Ceylon Black Tea
Camellia sinensis
Bright, brisk and citrus-edged, with a golden-orange cup — the tea that makes a blend taste lively rather than heavy. Sri Lanka's tea board recognises seven growing regions, and altitude does most of the work: Nuwara Eliya at 1,868 m gives the palest and most...
Bright, brisk and citrusy; golden-orange in the cup, with a clean finish
-
Fruit · Caffeine-free
Peach
Prunus persica
Dried peach pieces — eleven products carry them, and peach is one of the few fruits whose flavour genuinely survives drying and hot water. It is the summer note in a tea: soft, sweet, a little floral, without the sharpness that berries bring. Peach blends...
Soft, sweet and faintly floral, with a stone-fruit roundness 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
Sunflower
Helianthus annuus
Bright yellow ray florets, dried — twelve products carry them, and almost always for the look. Sunflower petals are large, sturdy and hold their colour, so a pinch gives a dark tea the sort of yellow flash a grey-brown leaf cannot produce on its own....
Faintly honeyed and grassy; a colour ingredient rather than a flavour one
-
Flower · Caffeine-free
Lily
Hemerocallis spp. (see note)
Almost certainly daylily rather than a true lily, and the distinction matters. Dried daylily buds are a long-standing Chinese ingredient, sold as golden needles — jinzhen — and they go into hot and sour soup, Buddha's delight and moo shu pork. True lilies, genus Lilium,...
Mild, faintly sweet and slightly musky, with a delicate vegetal body
-
Fruit · Caffeine-free
Plum
Prunus spp.
Deep, winey and dark, with a tartness in the skin that a peach does not have. Three products carry it, as pieces or petals. Plums are likely to have been one of the first fruits domesticated by humans, which puts them alongside the fig and...
Deep and winey with a tart skin; dried, it turns caramel and raisin-like
What it goes with
Brunch in a cup. Sip alongside pancakes, peach cobbler, or pork chops. Pair with our Cinnamon and Ginger for an autumn spread, or our Chicken Rub for a sweet-savory dinner.

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!
