Seasonal Chaos
Toasted. Buttery. Indulgent.
Chai, but make it chocolate.
Our Chocolate Chai Herbal Tea Blend starts with naturally caffeine-free red rooibos and freshly roasted cacao nibs, then piles on all those warm chai spices—cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, black pepper, and vanilla—with orange peel, roasted chicory root, and licorice rounding everything out.
The result is rich, toasty, chocolatey, and warmly spiced without being overly sweet. It has that deep, cozy flavor that feels a little decadent and is practically begging to be consumed under a blanket with a book.
Drink it hot and sweeten it with maple syrup or brown sugar. Trust us on that one!

Cozy. Spiced. Crisp.
Basically fall decided to become a cup of tea.
Our Caramel Apple Cider Herbal Tea Blend combines naturally sweet rooibos with apple pieces, warm cinnamon chips, and little bits of caramel for a rich, cozy blend that tastes like caramel apples and hot cider had a very delicious baby.
It’s warm, buttery, lightly spiced, and just sweet enough without crossing into dessert-in-a-mug territory. This is the tea for chilly mornings, rainy afternoons, blanket piles, and reading just one more chapter when you absolutely should be doing something else.
Caffeine-free and especially good served piping hot with a little honey.
Ingredients: Rooibos tea, apple pieces, cinnamon chips, caramel pieces
To Brew: Pour 8 oz. of boiling water over 1 heaping teaspoon of tea. Steep for 5 minutes, then strain. Best enjoyed hot and sweetened with honey.

Dark. Enchanted. Floral.
A little mysterious. A little wild. Very much giving wandered into the woods and came back with secrets.
Our Forest Witch Herbal Tea Blend starts with a bold organic China black tea and layers in tart rose hips, sweet dried strawberries, delicate blue cornflower, and strawberry essence. The result is a dark, fruit-forward tea with soft floral notes and just enough sweetness to keep things interesting.
It’s rich and slightly moody without being heavy—the kind of tea that feels equally at home steaming beside a rainy-day read or poured over ice when fall afternoons are still holding onto just a little warmth.
