Style: Herbal
Origin: Blended at Westholme
Ingredients: Nettle Leaf, Lemon Verbena, Lemon Peel, Cinnamon, Cardamom, Ginger Root, Black Pepper
Description: In 2012, we were invited to contribute to the James Barber Chef’s Table Fundraiser - the theme of the event that year was Honey. Naturally, we looked to our garden friends for inspiration. Bees are hard-working, friendly, finely dressed in their yellow pollen breeches, and have a bit of a sting (when necessary). This led to the creation of a scrumptious infusion with each of these qualities in mind; the calm and earthy nettle leaf, brisk yellow lemon peel and zesty lemon verbena combine with a gentle tally of warming masala spices. Much like the tail-end of a bee, the cup has a 'piquant' peppery ginger finish. The result is a lively and delicately spiced herbal chai that pairs beautifully with honey, as intended.
Tasting Notes: Earthy notes of nettle ground sweet, complex masala spices on the tongue. Gentle citrus zest and the natural sweetness of cinnamon and ginger enliven each sip.
Brewing Instructions: 2g per cup. 100ºC water. steep 3-5 minutes.

Changes in shipping from Canada to the USA has shifted significantly with restrictions with couriers, rising shipping charges, taxes and tariffs, and volatile regulations surrounding transportation of food items, making the process of shipping our teas + tisanes across the border extremely challenging.
We have made the difficult decision to pause shipping to the US currently and are consistently searching for alternative methods so as this is only a temporary pause. We hope you understand and look forward to serving our US tea community again soon. For updates, sign up for our newsletter where we will be sharing information and updates on alternative methods of shipping as frequently as possible.
