Chamomile is not tea at all but a flower, and the Egyptian Nile-valley crop is the one prized for whole, unbroken heads rather than dust. Steeped whole they give a golden infusion that smells of hay and tastes of apple and honey, rounded out here by real wildflower honey blended through. There is no caffeine and no tannin, so it stays smooth however long you leave it. Boiling water and five minutes under a lid, which keeps the aromatics in the cup instead of the air.
Crisp Moroccan peppermint from the Meknes plain. Pure and cooling, with nothing blended in and no caffeine. A palate cleanser and a digestif in one.
A South African bush, cut and oxidised until it turns red. Vanilla and nut with no tannin at all. Naturally caffeine-free and impossible to over-steep.
Whole calyces that steep to a deep ruby red. Sharp and cranberry-tart, with real acidity behind it. The best of the herbals over ice with a little honey.
