THE MOMENT

Some books are best read after dark — when the house is quiet and the lamp is on and you've lost track of the hour.

IN THE CUP

Fruity rooibos layered with elderberry, rosehip, and rose petals, with lavender providing a soft, sweet finish. The cup is a deep reddish orange. Floral without being perfumed. Gentle and round. No caffeine, so the late chapter won't cost you the morning.

Pairs well with: reading that asks something of you. Sugar and milk welcome. Lemon, no.

WHERE IT COMES FROM

The rooibos is from the Cederberg region, South Africa. Elderberry from Varna, Bulgaria. Camomile and rose from the Nile Delta and Fayoum, Egypt. Lavender from Provence, France — the region the blend is named for.

All ingredients are certified organic by Pro-Cert Organic Systems (USDA NOP, EU, COR, JAS equivalency). Ethical Tea Partnership certified.

THE PACKAGING

The tea ships in a kraft paper stand-up bag from Enviro Flex Pack — natural kraft paper exterior, metallic cellulose interior, plant-based throughout. No plastic. The pouch is designed to be home-compostable — the kraft paper and cellulose construction is built to break down in home and industrial compost conditions. We're in the process of obtaining third-party certification and will update this page when documentation is on file. (Industrial composting will break it down more reliably than a backyard pile — the lamination is thick, and home conditions vary.) The zipper is compostable too. The label is an EcoEnclose sticker printed on 100% post-consumer waste kraft paper. Recyclable with the pouch.
