THE MOMENT

For the unhurried morning. The one where you read a few pages before the day starts, or simply hold the cup and let it be quiet. Bright enough to feel like a beginning. Gentle enough not to rush you.

IN THE CUP

Fresh raspberry over a naturally sweet honeybush base, with green rooibos, strawberry leaf, and apple adding depth. Tending orange in the cup. The honeybush is naturally smooth — it won't turn bitter if you let it steep a little longer. Clean and fruity without being sharp.

Best on its own. No milk, no sugar, no lemon needed — but drink it how you like.

WHERE IT COMES FROM

The honeybush and green rooibos are sourced from the Cedarberg region of South Africa. Strawberry leaf from Anatolya, Turkey. Apple from China. Cornflower from Bulgaria. Raspberry from Albania.

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.
