One of our more popular herbals, Peppermint Rose is a very simple blend of peppermint leaves and rose petals. The inspiration came from mint teas from Morocco that are sometimes served with a few drops of rose water. Peppermint Rose is exceptionally fine - we recommend brewing in an infuser,... →

A daisy-like flower that brews a mild, honey-like infusion. Chamomile is often used to combat anxiety and sleeplessness. We think it blends well with later harvest green teas, by taking away the astringent, bitter edge. We usually brew chamomile in a larger teapot, allowing it to remain steeping throughout. In... →
