Beyond the cup

Walnuts, almonds, and rose petals on a sencha base – nutty, floral, and richer than most greens. Sip alongside cheese boards, nut-studded salads, or grain bowls. The nuttiness bridges beautifully to baked goods – banana nut bread, walnut brownies, almond croissants.

What’s in it

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

    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...

    Sencha Green Tea

    Camellia sinensis var. sinensis

    Japan's everyday tea and the most popular tea in Japan — steamed for fifteen to twenty seconds to stop oxidation, then rolled and dried into thin dark needles. The steaming is what separates it from a Chinese green: it gives sencha the grassy, faintly seaweed-like...

    Grassy and vegetal with a touch of seaweed and a clean sweet finish; greenish-gold in the cup

    Almond

    Prunus amygdalus

    Sliced or chopped almond pieces — thirteen products carry them, always in the dessert direction. In a tea blend almond brings a marzipan sweetness and a real richness that reads as creamy even in a cup with no milk in it, which is why it...

    Walnut

    Juglans regia

    Rich, buttery and faintly bitter — that bitterness is in the skin, and it is what distinguishes walnut from almond in a blend. Two products carry it. Like the almond, it is not a true nut: walnuts are drupe-like, because the outer covering of the...

    Rich and buttery with a faint bitterness in the skin; deeper and less sweet than almond

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.
