Questions & Answers
Everything people ask us at the tasting bar.
Blends & Caffeine
It depends on the base and how many botanicals share the spoon: a cup of green holds about 30 mg, black about 47 mg; rooibos and the herbal base hold none. Every botanical takes 15% of the spoon, so the caffeine falls as you add them.
Every blend on rooibos or the herbal base: Moonlit Chamomile, Rose Reverie, Hibiscus Bloom, Rooibos Comfort and Elderflower Glow.
No. Our blends are made for pleasure and a good routine. If you are pregnant, on medication or unsure about a botanical, ask your doctor first.
Each from a grower we know: chamomile from Egypt, lavender from Provence, lemon balm from Kent, hibiscus from Sudan. Every botanical page lists its origin.
Steeping
80°C for the green blends, 95°C for black, and a full boil for rooibos and herbal. The steep tag on every blend card says so.
From two and a half minutes for green to six for rooibos; roots and bark add a minute. The steep guide has a timer that counts each infusion.
Yes: two or three times, a minute longer each time. The timer offers the next infusion when a cup is ready.
The Tea Club
On the first Tuesday of every month. The delivery is free and takes two to four days.
From the Tea Club page or your account: skip any single month, or pause the club and resume it whenever you like.
Yes. Choose one blend for each tin in your plan, or leave it to the blend of the month.
Orders & Delivery
Free over $40, otherwise $5.50; express next-day delivery is $12. Collecting from the boutique is free.
We blend every Tuesday in three-kilogram batches and tin it the same week, so a tin is never more than a few days old when it leaves.
An unopened tin can come back within 30 days. If a blend is not for you, tell us and we will help you find one that is.
