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

Herb · Caffeine-free
Lemongrass
Cymbopogon citratus
A tropical grass with bright citrus flavor that hides genuine pharmacological activity. Citral — lemongrass's primary compound — relaxes smooth muscle through calcium channel antagonism, addressing the spastic component of digestive discomfort. The surprise: the tea's real bioactives are water-soluble polyphenols (caffeic acid at 20.81...
Bright, lemony, clean, slightly grassy, refreshing
-
Spice · Caffeine-free
Chile
Capsicum annuum
Dried chile peppers, whole, crushed or ground — the generic heat in twenty-nine products here, from curry powders to jerk to Tex-Mex. Heat comes from capsaicin and is measured in Scoville heat units; the shop's blends name theirs where the supplier gives a figure. The...
Heat first, then a dry, fruity red-pepper taste; the darker dried chiles run raisiny and the lighter ones bright and tannic
-
Spice · Caffeine-free
Cumin
Cuminum cyminum
A small ridged seed with a deep, earthy, faintly smoky smell — cuminaldehyde is the compound doing most of it. Cumin is one of the oldest travelling spices there is, and in this catalogue it is one of the busiest: twenty-three products carry it, which...
Deep, earthy, warm, a little smoky and bitter, with a musky edge
-
Spice · Caffeine-free
Coriander
Coriandrum sativum
The round, ridged seed of the same plant whose leaf is cilantro — and it tastes nothing like it. Where the leaf is green and divisive, the seed is warm, citrusy and floral, closer to orange peel than to anything herbal. That is why plenty...
Warm, citrusy and floral, a little sweet — orange peel and pepper together
-
Spice · Caffeine-free
Garlic
Allium sativum
A bulb, dried and broken down to three different coarsenesses, and the single most common ingredient in this catalogue — forty-three products carry it. Granulated is coarse and blooms slowly in hot oil; minced is visible pieces that plump up in a sauce; powder disappears...
Sweet, toasty and savoury; deeper and rounder than fresh garlic, without the raw bite
-
Spice · Caffeine-free
Black Pepper
Piper nigrum
The dried unripe berry of a climbing vine — the mill on every table, and the most travelled object in any kitchen. Black, white and green pepper are all the same berry, picked at different moments and treated differently: black is picked unripe and dried...
Warm, woody, resinous and sharp; the bite is piperine, roughly a hundredth as potent as capsaicin
-
Herb · Caffeine-free
Cilantro
Coriandrum sativum
The dried leaf of the same plant whose seed is coriander — and the herb that splits a dinner table in two. Some people taste fresh cilantro as citrus and green; others taste soap, and they are not being difficult: a 2012 study of more...
Dried: earthy and herbal, gentler than fresh. Fresh: citrusy and green — or soapy, depending on your chromosome 11
-
Spice · Caffeine-free
Kaffir Lime Leaf
Citrus hystrix
A double leaf — two leaves joined end to end in an hourglass, with a winged stalk — and an intensity of citrus that nothing else in a kitchen reaches. It is sharper and far more perfumed than lime zest, and it is the leaf,...
Intense citrus and floral — sharper and more perfumed than lime zest
-
Spice · Caffeine-free
Galangal
Alpinia galanga
A ginger-family rhizome that is not a ginger substitute, however often it gets called one. Galangal is sharper, pinier and more complex — citrus, black pepper and pine needles is the usual description — where ginger is warm and sweet, and swapping one for the...
Pungent and piney — citrus, black pepper and pine needles; sharper and more complex than ginger
-
Herb · Caffeine-free
Basil
Ocimum basilicum
Sweet basil, dried — the pizza herb, and the one people are most surprised to find works dried at all. It does, but differently: drying takes the fresh leaf's bright anise-clove top note down and leaves something sweeter and more peppery underneath, which is why...
Sweet and peppery-green with a faint clove and anise note; softer dried than fresh
-
Spice · Caffeine-free
White Pepper
Piper nigrum
The same berry as black pepper, picked ripe and treated completely differently. White pepper is made by retting: the ripe berries are soaked in water for about a week until the flesh softens, then rubbed clean down to the pale inner seed. That soaking is...
Sharper and more direct than black pepper, less aromatic, with a faintly earthy fermented note
-
Spice · Caffeine-free
Shallot
Allium cepa
A milder, sweeter onion — and, as of 2010, formally not a separate species at all. Taxonomists decided the difference from the common onion was too small to justify one, so the shallot is now a cultivar group of Allium cepa. Four products carry it,...
Onion-like but milder and sweeter, with less sulphurous bite
What it goes with
Thai herbs and jasmine tea speak the same aromatic language — they share linalool as their dominant floral compound. Brew our Jasmine green tea alongside and taste how they harmonize. For something bolder, our Ceylon's citrus brightness cuts through the coconut and chiles.

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!
