How to use it

Fall in a jar. Two teaspoons in pumpkin pie, one teaspoon per batch of pancakes, muffins, or lattes. Stir into cream cheese frosting, oatmeal, or whipped cream. The mace adds a subtle warmth you won't get from mixing individual spices yourself. Also great in sweet potato soup or butternut squash risotto.

What’s in it

Every herb in the blend, and where to read about it on its own.

  • Herb · Caffeine-free

    Ginger

    Zingiber officinale

    The universal connector — ginger appears in more products than any other ingredient in the collection. The dried root is chemically distinct from fresh ginger: drying converts gingerols to shogaols, which are about twice as pungent, and that is why dried ginger tastes deeper and...

    Pungent, warm, slightly sweet, citrusy (fresh); warm, mellow, deep (dried)

  • Spice · Caffeine-free

    Cinnamon

    Cinnamomum verum, C. burmannii, C. loureiroi

    The inner bark of a laurel tree, peeled, dried and curled into quills. Three different trees are sold under the one name, and the shop carries all three: Ceylon (Cinnamomum verum), the soft, papery, floral one from Sri Lanka; Korintje (C. burmannii) from the Kerinci...

    Sweet, woody, warm — Ceylon floral and citrusy, Korintje smooth and familiar, Saigon bold and fiery-sweet

  • Spice · Caffeine-free

    Allspice

    Pimenta dioica

    One berry that tastes like three spices — cinnamon, nutmeg and clove at once, with a peppery, woody edge. The English were calling it allspice by 1621 for exactly that reason, and it confuses people to this day: it is a single dried berry, not...

    Warm clove, cinnamon and nutmeg at once, with a peppery, woody edge

    Nutmeg

    Myristica fragrans

    The seed of a fruit that also gives us mace — mace is the red lace wrapped around the shell. Nutmeg is warm, sweet and distinctly pungent, and it is one of the few spices where grating it fresh makes an unmistakable difference: whole nutmeg...

    Warm, sweet and pungent; noticeably brighter grated fresh than pre-ground

    Cloves

    Syzygium aromaticum

    An unopened flower bud, picked and dried until it looks like a small nail — which is where the name comes from, via Latin clavus. Cloves are the loudest spice in the cupboard: eugenol makes up somewhere between 45 and 90 per cent of the...

    Mace

    Myristica fragrans

    The red lace that wraps the nutmeg seed inside its fruit — the same tree, a different spice. Mace whispers where nutmeg shouts: lighter, brighter and more delicate, with a peppery edge and a hint of citrus and pine, and a warm orange colour that...

    Like nutmeg but lighter and brighter — warm, slightly peppery, a hint of citrus and pine

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!
