Tisane vs Tea: A tisane refers to a herbal infusion made from flowers, leaves, roots, seeds, or fruits, and is naturally caffeine-free.

This includes white, green, oolong, black teas and everything in between, all of which naturally contain caffeine in varying amounts.

Chamomile is a gentle flowering herb, traditionally grown in open fields where it can bathe in full sunlight and clean air. The small, daisy-like blossoms are carefully harvested at their peak, when their centres are golden and aromatic, often by hand or with minimal intervention to preserve their delicate structure. Grown in living, nutrient-rich soils and without synthetic inputs, organic chamomile reflects the quiet integrity of its environment. Once picked, the flowers are slowly dried to retain their natural oils, soft sweetness, and therapeutic potency. It is a plant long revered for its ability to soothe the nervous system, ease digestion, and invite rest. There is a quiet familiarity to chamomile, one that speaks of care, stillness, and restoration, making it not just a tisane, but a gentle ritual of unwinding at the close of the day.

How to Prepare Matcha — The Traditional Way

You’ll Need:

• Organic Matcha Powder by Apotheca

• Bamboo Whisk (Chasen)

• Matcha Bowl

• Bamboo Scoop (Chashaku)

• Stainless Steel Strainer

• Hot Water (80°C / 176°F — just below boiling)

Step 1 — Sift the Matcha
Place 1 bamboo scoop of Organic Matcha Powder into your strainer over the matcha bowl.
Sifting removes clumps, ensuring a smooth, frothy texture.

Step 2 — Add Hot Water
Pour in 2 tablespoons of hot water to form a light paste. Gradually add about ½ cup of water in total.

Step 3 — Whisk
Hold the whisk lightly and move it briskly in an “M” or “W” motion.
Whisk until a light, velvety layer of foam appears.

Step 4 — Sip & Savour
Enjoy directly from the bowl or pour into a cup. Matcha may be enjoyed pure or with milk for a latte.

Tip:
After use, rinse your bamboo whisk gently under warm water and allow it to air dry upright to maintain its natural shape.

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.

Traditionally used by Naturopaths & Herbalists to help soothe the gut - tummy discomfort, wind, bloating and inflammation, refresh the breath and cool a fever.  It has also traditionally been used to support hormonal balance, particularly in women with elevated androgens such as testosterone. It has been shown to have anti-androgenic effects, helping to lower free testosterone levels by influencing how androgens are produced and metabolised in the body. This can be especially supportive in conditions such as PCOS, where excess testosterone may contribute to symptoms like acne, excess hair growth, and irregular cycles.  It is commonly used as an infusion, taken daily, as a gentle and accessible way to assist in restoring hormonal equilibrium.

How To Mix Our Matcha Powder Using our Japanese Bamboo Whisk

Gather Your Tools:

• Sifter (optional)
• Hot water (80°C/176°F—just below boiling)

Add Hot Water:

• Pour about 2 tablespoons of hot water into the bowl. This creates a paste to prevent clumping.
• Gradually add more water (about ½ cup total).

Whisk It Up:

• Hold the bamboo whisk lightly and whisk briskly in an “M” or “W” motion, not circular.
• Whisk until the matcha is frothy and a light layer of foam forms on top.

Enjoy:

• Sip straight from the bowl or pour into a cup. Matcha can be enjoyed pure or with your choice of milk for a matcha latte.

Tip: Clean your bamboo whisk gently under warm water after each use and let it air dry upright to keep it in perfect shape.
