*The Difference between Essential Oil & Fragrance: We use only pure bergamot essential oil in our Earl Grey, never synthetic fragrance, ensuring a tea that is both authentic in flavour and aligned with a more natural, whole-plant philosophy. Essential oil of bergamot is a natural extract, cold-pressed from the peel of the bergamot citrus fruit. It carries the true aromatic compounds of the plant, offering not only its distinctive bright, floral citrus note but also its subtle therapeutic qualities. Fragrance (or flavouring), on the other hand, is typically a synthetic or highly processed compound designed to mimic aroma.

Peppermint is a vibrant, aromatic herb that thrives in rich, well-watered soils and temperate climates. Grown under open skies, its bright green leaves are harvested just before flowering, when their essential oil content is at its peak. Organic cultivation preserves the purity and intensity of its menthol-rich profile, while careful drying ensures the leaves retain their colour, fragrance, and therapeutic vitality. As a tisane, peppermint offers a clean, invigorating infusion - cooling, refreshing, and deeply clarifying. It awakens the senses while simultaneously settling the body, making it both uplifting and soothing. Traditionally used to support digestion, relieve bloating, and ease tension, peppermint brings a sense of lightness and flow. It is a tisane that clears of heaviness, of stagnation, of mental fog, leaving behind a feeling of freshness, ease, and quiet renewal.

Genmaicha is a blend of Sencha green tea and roasted brown rice, traditionally enjoyed as an everyday tea in Japan. It has a comforting, savoury character with nutty, popcorn-like notes balanced by the freshness of green tea. Its origins trace back to Japan’s Edo period, between the 17th and 19th centuries. During times of economic hardship, rice was precious and green tea could be expensive. Adding roasted rice extended the tea supply, making it more accessible to households of modest means. But beyond its delicious popcorn flavour, Genmaicha reflects something deeper. It is a tea of reverence. Reverence for resources. Reverence for simplicity. Reverence for making enough, be enough.
Ingredients: Sencha green tea leaf (naturally contains caffeine) and roasted brown rice.
Dose: Steep 1 teaspoon per cup of boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes. Enjoy as is.
Aroma: Toasty, savoury green
Therapy: Genmaicha provides the antioxidant benefits of green tea, including catechins that support cellular protection and metabolic health, while the roasted brown rice offers a grounding, gentle quality that can soothe digestion. Its lower perceived bitterness and moderate caffeine content also make it a calming, supportive tea for daily use.

Hojicha is a roasted Japanese green tea grown in Australia, traditionally made by slowly roasting bancha or sencha leaves over high heat. The roasting process transforms the leaf, creating a warm, toasty aroma. Unlike fresh green teas, Hojicha is smooth, low in bitterness, and naturally lower in caffeine due to the roasting. Hojicha was first created in Kyoto in the early 20th century, when tea merchants began roasting leftover green tea leaves and stems to prevent waste. What began as resourcefulness became beloved tradition. The roasting reduced astringency and caffeine, making it suitable for children, elders, and evening drinking.
Ingredients: Roasted Japanese green tea leaf (naturally contains lower caffeine due to roasting).
Dose: Steep 1 teaspoon per cup of boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes. Enjoy as is.
Aroma: Notes of caramel, wood, and gentle smoke
Therapy: Hojicha retains the antioxidant polyphenols of green tea in a gentler form, while its roasted nature makes it soothing to digestion and calming to the nervous system. Its naturally lower caffeine content makes it ideal for the afternoon or evening.
