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

    Rooibos

    Aspalathus linearis

    Not tea. Rooibos is a needle-leaved shrub of the pea family that grows in one mountain range in the Western Cape and nowhere else, and since 2021 the name has been legally reserved for it. It is the base of thirty-three products here for one...

    Honey, dried fruit and vanilla with a little wood; smooth, naturally sweet, never bitter. Green rooibos is malty and slightly grassy

  • 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

    Blackberry

    Rubus spp.

    Both the fruit and the leaf appear in this shop's blends, and they are not the same ingredient. The berry is deep, winey and a little tannic; the leaf, like raspberry and strawberry leaf, brings tannin and body with no berry flavour at all, which...

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!
