From familiar garden herbs to forest-led blends, this collection of herbal teas and mushroom coffee blends is made for everyday rituals and slower moments.
Our herbal teas and coffee preparations are crafted in small batches using carefully chosen plants, roots, leaves and fungi, shaped by traditional use, seasonal foraging and a close relationship with the land. Some are gentle and floral, others fresh and grounding, but all are blended with balance, intention and respect for the materials themselves.
These are drinks (and, officially speaking, sometimes “preparations”), designed to be returned to over time, whether for comfort, clarity, warmth or simply the pleasure of a well-made cup.
This collection includes loose leaf herbal teas and blended drinks made from wild foraged and ethically sourced plants. Our herbal teas are created in small batches using traditional preparation methods, seasonal ingredients and a practical understanding of flavour, ritual and everyday herbal use.

Slow-growing forest fungi with absolutely no sense of urgency
Known as “The King Of Medicinal Mushrooms”, Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is a slow-growing fungus with a deep relationship to the forests it comes from.
Found growing on mature birch trees in cold northern climates, Chaga has been gathered for centuries across Northern Europe, Russia, and parts of Asia. It was traditionally valued not for quick effects or stimulation, but for its steady, grounding presence and its association with long-term resilience and balance.
Unlike more delicate mushrooms, Chaga grows slowly and deliberately, forming over many years in response to its environment. Traditional herbal and folk practices describe it as deeply earthy, robust, and fortifying in character, often prepared patiently over time as part of daily or seasonal routines rather than used in haste.
Historically, Chaga was simmered slowly or infused gently, allowing its dense structure to soften and release gradually. This unhurried preparation mirrors the way it has always been approached — as something to return to regularly, not something to rush.
Our Chaga mushroom chunks are wild foraged by hand from remote Scottish birch forests, far from roads, agriculture, and pollution. They are dried carefully and left whole, allowing you to prepare them traditionally, at your own pace, whether as a long simmer or gentle infusion.
This is Chaga in its simplest form — unprocessed, unrefined, and deeply rooted in the landscape it comes from.
Ingredients
Wild Scottish Chaga (Inonotus obliquus)
Traditional Preparation
Chaga chunks are traditionally simmered gently in water over a longer period, then strained before use. Chunks can often be reused multiple times.
Notes
• Wild foraged in the Scottish Highlands
• Left whole for traditional, slow preparation
• Deep, earthy, and grounding in character
• Prepared with patience, not shortcuts

Chaga, but slightly more convenient
Known as “The King Of Medicinal Mushrooms”, Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is a slow-growing fungus with a deep relationship to the forests it comes from.
Found growing on mature birch trees in cold northern climates, Chaga has been gathered for centuries across Northern Europe, Russia, and parts of Asia. Traditionally, it was valued not for quick results or stimulation, but for its steady, grounding presence and its association with long-term resilience and balance.
Unlike faster-growing fungi, Chaga develops over many years, shaped by cold, wind, and time. Folk traditions describe it as deeply earthy and robust in character, often prepared patiently as part of daily or seasonal routines rather than used occasionally or in haste.
Our Chaga powder begins life as whole, wild-foraged Chaga, harvested by hand from remote Scottish birch forests, far from roads, agriculture, and pollution. The dried chunks are then carefully ground into a fine powder, making Chaga easier to work with while staying true to traditional preparation methods.
Powdered Chaga offers a more accessible way to build this slow, steady fungus into everyday rhythms — whether prepared gently in hot water or incorporated into longer infusions over time.
This is Chaga in a form that fits modern routines, without losing its ancient patience.
Ingredients
Wild Scottish Chaga (Inonotus obliquus)
Traditional Preparation
Chaga powder is traditionally steeped gently in hot water or simmered briefly, then strained before use.
Notes
• Wild foraged in the Scottish Highlands
• Finely ground from whole Chaga chunks
• Deep, earthy, and grounding in character
• Prepared slowly, without shortcuts

For mornings that don’t need shouting at
Some routines don’t need reinventing — just gently rebalanced.
Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is a slow-growing forest fungus, traditionally prepared patiently and returned to regularly rather than used for quick results. Coffee, on the other hand, has always been about rhythm: the familiar pause, the smell, the warmth of a mug held between both hands.
This blend brings the two together without drama.
Wild Scottish Chaga is combined with ethically sourced ground coffee, creating a simple preparation that feels familiar while quietly shifting the tone of the ritual. The result is steady and grounding in character, with the recognisable depth of coffee softened by Chaga’s slower, earthier presence.
Traditionally, Chaga was simmered or infused gently over time. Here, it’s prepared in a more modern, everyday-friendly form — not rushed, just adapted.
Officially speaking, this product is not a drink.
It is a food supplement with a suggested preparation method involving hot water.
The kettle, however, remains unconcerned.
Prepared in small batches using uncomplicated ingredients, this blend is for those who enjoy familiar routines, just with a little more intention — and slightly less hurry.

Definitely a supplement. Involves hot water.
Some combinations feel inevitable.
Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is a slow-growing forest fungus shaped by cold air, patience, and time. Chai spices, by contrast, come from warmth, trade routes, and kitchens built around comfort and ritual. This blend brings the two together — steady and grounding on one side, aromatic and familiar on the other.
Traditionally, Chaga was prepared patiently, often simmered or infused over time and returned to regularly as part of long-term routines rather than quick fixes. Chai spice blends, meanwhile, have long been used to add warmth, depth, and balance — not to rush the body forward, but to make slower moments more enjoyable.
This blend combines wild Scottish Chaga with a carefully chosen chai-style spice mix and coffee, creating a powdered preparation intended to be used thoughtfully and in moderation.
Our Chaga Chai Latte Blend is prepared in small batches using simple ingredients and no unnecessary fillers. It’s designed for those who like their routines grounded, warming, and just a little bit ceremonial — without pretending to be anything other than what it is.

For supporting women’s balance through every season of womanhood
Harmony Herbs is a thoughtfully blended herbal tea created to support women through the natural ebb and flow of life’s cycles.
This blend brings together plants that have long histories within folk and herbal traditions, often associated with nourishment, softness, and cyclical balance. Rather than focusing on force or correction, these herbs have traditionally been used to accompany the body through change — offering steadiness, comfort, and a sense of ease.
Raspberry leaf and nettle leaf have been valued as deeply nourishing plants, often gathered for their mineral richness, much needed when your resources are depleted, and compounds supporting womb health. Lady’s mantle carries a quiet reputation as a plant of regulating and balancing, while red clover and calendula have traditionally been associated with softening hormonal transition. Chamomile and rose petals soften the blend, and the mind, bringing floral notes and a sense of calm, both in flavour and character.
Harmony Herbs is blended with attention to both function and taste, creating a tea that is comforting, balanced, and easy to return to day after day. It is intended not as a quick solution, but as a steady companion — something to build into daily or seasonal rituals, especially during times of transition.
This is a tea for slowing down, listening in, and honouring the body’s natural rhythms rather than working against them.
Ingredients:
Raspberry leaf, nettle leaf, chamomile, lady’s mantle, calendula, rose petals, red clover
Suggested use:
Enjoy 1–2 cups daily, during menstruation and hormonal transition throughout every season of life.
Made in small batches
Traditionally used herbs for women’s cyclical support
Balanced for flavour as well as tradition
Ideal for daily ritual and seasonal care

A slower cup for steadier mornings
This blend brings together carefully roasted coffee with Lion’s Mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus), creating a drink intended for unhurried mornings and longer rhythms rather than sharp jolts.
Coffee has long been part of daily ritual — not just as a stimulant, but as a pause, a marker of time, a reason to stop and gather. Lion’s Mane has traditionally been approached in much the same way: as a food-like mushroom valued for steady inclusion rather than intensity.
Combined thoughtfully, the two sit comfortably together. The coffee provides warmth, depth and familiarity, while Lion’s Mane is present quietly in the background, prepared and taken as part of a routine rather than a shortcut.
Rather than overpowering the cup, Lion’s Mane is included in measured proportion, allowing the character of the coffee to remain intact. The result is a balanced, grounding blend suited to daily use — something to return to, not rush through.
Our Lion’s Mane Coffee Blend is made in small batches using cultivated Lion’s Mane grown in Wales and quality roasted coffee. The mushroom is prepared carefully before blending, ensuring it integrates smoothly into the drink without dominating flavour or texture.
This is a coffee blend shaped by pace and intention — familiar, steady, and made for everyday use.
Ingredients
Roasted coffee, cultivated Lion’s Mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus)
Preparation
Prepare as you would your usual coffee — brewed, pressed or filtered. The blend is designed to fit easily into existing routines without additional steps or complexity.
When brewed, Lion’s Mane can release a small amount of natural mucilage. This may appear as a slightly fuller mouthfeel or gentle cloudiness in the cup and is a normal characteristic of the mushroom. It doesn’t affect flavour and is simply part of how Lion’s Mane behaves when prepared with hot water.
Use a coffee frother, or stir vigorously, to get a creamier consistency from the Lion’s Mane.
Notes
• Cultivated Lion’s Mane grown in Wales
• Balanced coffee flavour with subtle mushroom presence
• Designed for regular, everyday use
• Made in small batches

Bold and not easily overlooked
Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea) carries a long-standing reputation as a plant of strength. Native to North America and later adopted into European herbal traditions, echinacea has been used for generations as a supportive herb, particularly during the colder months or times when resilience is called for. It’s a plant that has become closely associated with the body’s natural defences — not as a quick fix, but as something steady and reliable.
In traditional use, echinacea was often taken at the first sign of seasonal shifts, or as part of a broader routine to support balance and vitality. It’s typically described as active, present, and slightly warming in character — less subtle than many herbs, but still grounded rather than overpowering.
When prepared as a tea, echinacea produces a distinctive infusion with an earthy, slightly bitter base and a recognisable tingling sensation on the tongue. It’s a flavour that feels purposeful — not designed to disappear into the background, but to be experienced.
Our Echinacea tea is prepared in small batches, allowing the plant’s full character to come through without being overprocessed. Nothing refined away — just the natural profile of the herb, handled with care.
🌿 Make Your Own Blends
Echinacea works well alongside herbs that soften or round its boldness, or complement its warming nature.
Try blending with:
Peppermint – lifts and freshens the overall flavour
Ginger – adds warmth and depth
Lemon Balm – softens with a light citrus note
Best suited to more purposeful blends rather than delicate, subtle infusions.
Ingredients
Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea)

A classic for a reason
Chamomile is one of those plants that feels like it’s always been around — quietly reliable, softly scented, and woven into everyday life across cultures and generations.
Made from the dried flowers of Matricaria chamomilla, chamomile has been gathered and brewed for centuries across Europe and beyond. It was traditionally valued not for strength or intensity, but for its gentle, comforting nature — a plant people returned to in the evenings, after long days, or whenever something softer was needed.
When brewed, chamomile makes a light, golden tea with a delicate floral sweetness and a faint apple-like note. It’s calm and uncomplicated, with no bitterness and no sharp edges — the kind of tea that doesn’t demand attention, but quietly earns its place.
Our chamomile is prepared simply and with care, allowing the character of the flowers to speak for themselves. It’s a tea best enjoyed slowly, whether as part of a bedtime ritual, a quiet afternoon pause, or just because the moment calls for something gentle.
This is chamomile as it’s always been — familiar, dependable, and quietly comforting.
🌿 Make Your Own Blends
Chamomile blends beautifully with other gentle herbs, making it a natural starting point for personal, intuitive tea blends. Whether you’re blending for flavour, mood, or a slower pace, it pairs best with plants that share its soft, calming character.
Blend ideas to try:
Hawthorn Blossom
Soft, floral, and steady — a soothing blend that feels unhurried and balanced.
Ivan Chai
Smooth and grounding, with chamomile adding lightness and ease.
Linden
Sweet, floral, and deeply calming — a classic evening-style blend.

A calm, dependable brew with no interest in caffeine drama
Ivan Chai is a tea with a history shaped by necessity, landscape, and patience.
Made from the leaves of Fireweed (Chamerion angustifolium), this traditional fermented tea has been prepared for centuries across Eastern Europe and Northern regions, particularly in Russia and surrounding areas. Before imported teas became common, Ivan Chai was a staple — gathered from wild plants, carefully fermented, and brewed daily as part of ordinary life.
Fireweed is one of the first plants to return after disruption. It thrives in clearings, woodland edges, and places where the land has been disturbed, growing tall and bright where other plants hesitate. That resilience is reflected in how the tea feels: steady, grounding, and gently restorative, without stimulation or sharpness.
The traditional fermentation process deepens the flavour and softens the plant’s edges, transforming fresh green leaves into something darker, richer, and more rounded. The result is a smooth, mellow tea with notes that are often described as malty, honeyed, and softly floral, without bitterness and without caffeine.
Ivan Chai has long been valued not as a “pick-me-up”, but as a tea for balance and rhythm — something to return to throughout the day or in the quieter hours, supporting a slower pace rather than pushing against it.
Our Ivan Chai is prepared using traditional fermentation methods and handled with care, allowing time to do the work rather than rushing the process. It’s a tea with depth, history, and a quiet confidence — no embellishment needed.
🌿 Make Your Own Blends
Ivan Chai’s smooth, rounded flavour makes it an excellent base for blending, adding depth without overpowering more delicate herbs. It pairs well with plants that bring softness, freshness, or gentle floral notes, creating balanced, easy-drinking blends.
Try blending with:
Hawthorn Blossom – softens and lifts the blend with gentle floral notes
Rose – adds sweetness and aroma
Cleavers – lightens the blend for springtime sipping
A great option for people who want a caffeine-free tea with body and balance.

Some things exist in the space between practicality and comfort.
Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is a slow-growing forest fungus, traditionally prepared with patience and used as part of long-term routines rather than quick fixes. Cacao and coffee, by contrast, have always belonged to moments of warmth, familiarity, and quiet indulgence — grounding rituals as much as flavours.
This blend brings those worlds together.
Wild Scottish Chaga is combined with ethically sourced coffee and raw cacao, creating a powdered preparation that feels rich and familiar without tipping into excess. The cacao adds depth and softness, the coffee brings warmth and body, and the Chaga sits underneath it all — steady, earthy, and unhurried.
Traditionally, Chaga was simmered or infused gently, allowing time to do the work. Here, that same slow philosophy is adapted into a more accessible form — one that fits easily into everyday rhythms while still rewarding a pause.
On paper, this blend is a food supplement.
In practice, it leans toward comfort, routine, and moments that don’t need to be rushed.
We’ll let the label do its job.
You can do the rest.
Prepared in small batches with simple ingredients, Chagaccino is for those who like their routines grounding, familiar, and just a little bit comforting — without pretending to be anything more complicated than that.
Ingredients

Made and drank by a Yorkshireman…
Some flavours don’t announce themselves — they just make sense once you taste them.
Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) grows slowly on birch trees in cold northern forests, shaped by long winters and clean air. Pine needles come from those same landscapes — sharp, resinous, and unmistakably fresh — carrying the scent of woodland even before they meet hot water.
Together, they create a blend that feels clean, grounding, and quietly bracing, with Chaga’s depth balanced by the bright, green edge of pine. It’s forest-forward and uncomplicated, leaning more toward clarity than comfort.
Traditionally, Chaga was prepared patiently and returned to regularly, while pine needles were gathered for their ability to bring lift and freshness to simple infusions. This blend draws on both traditions, offering a preparation that feels steady yet invigorating, without heaviness.
This is a loose blend intended to be used thoughtfully and in moderation, made in small batches using simple ingredients and no unnecessary additions.
From a regulatory point of view, it lives firmly in the category of food supplement.
From a practical point of view, it smells like the woods and behaves accordingly.

Fresh, cooling, and straight to the point.
Peppermint is a plant that knows exactly what it’s doing. Bright, aromatic, and unmistakable, Mentha × piperita has been gathered and brewed for centuries across Europe and beyond. Traditionally, it earned its place not through subtlety, but through its clean, refreshing character — a plant people reached for when something lighter, clearer, or more straightforward was called for.
When brewed, peppermint produces a vivid, cooling infusion with a crisp menthol edge and a naturally clean finish. It’s bold without being overwhelming, and leaves the palate feeling refreshed rather than weighed down.
Our peppermint is dried gently to preserve its natural oils and vibrant flavour, resulting in a tea that feels fresh and purposeful. It works just as well on its own as it does in blends, bringing lift and clarity wherever it’s needed.
This is peppermint at its best — uncomplicated, invigorating, and quietly effective.
🌿 Make Your Own Blends
Peppermint brings freshness and lift to herbal blends, making it a useful partner for heavier or more floral herbs. It’s especially good for balancing sweetness or adding a clean finish.

Hawthorn blossom is a fleeting thing.
For just a short window each spring, hedgerows soften with pale flowers carrying a light, almond-like scent — a moment that has been marked, gathered, and remembered across European herbal traditions for centuries. Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) has long been regarded as a plant of gentleness, steadiness, and emotional balance, associated as much with folklore and seasonal ritual as with herbal practice.
Traditionally, Hawthorn blossom was used in calm, everyday preparations rather than quick fixes. Herbalists valued it for its softening, steadying nature — a plant often described as patient rather than powerful, working gradually and quietly over time. It was commonly taken as a tea during spring and early summer, aligning with renewal, rhythm, and reconnection after winter.
When brewed, Hawthorn blossom makes a light, floral tea with subtle sweetness and a slightly green finish. It’s delicate rather than bold, and rewards slow sipping and simple preparation.
Our Hawthorn blossom tea is gathered in season and dried carefully to preserve its fragrance and gentle character. It’s a tea best suited to unhurried moments — reflective, calming, and quietly restorative in feel.
🌿 Make Your Own Blends
Hawthorn blossom blends beautifully with other gentle herbs, making it a lovely base for personal, intuitive tea blends. Whether you’re blending for flavour, mood, or seasonal rhythm, it pairs best with plants that share its soft, steady temperament.
Blend ideas to try:
Ivan Chai
Smooth, grounding, and mellow — a comforting everyday blend with depth and warmth.
Cleavers
Light, fresh, and springlike — delicate and cooling, ideal for gentle daily use.
Linden
Floral, soft, and calming — a classic evening-style blend.
Blending is about listening rather than measuring — start simple, follow taste, and let the plants guide the balance.

Raspberry leaf is a plant with a quiet reputation.
Made from the leaves of Rubus idaeus, it has been gathered and brewed for generations, not for drama or intensity, but for its steady, dependable nature. Traditionally, it was a tea people returned to regularly, woven into everyday routines rather than saved for special moments.
When brewed, raspberry leaf produces a smooth, earthy infusion with a slightly green, almost black-tea-like character. It’s fuller in body than many herbal teas, but still gentle and easy to drink — grounding without heaviness.
Our raspberry leaf is dried carefully to preserve its natural balance and flavour, resulting in a tea that feels solid, reassuring, and quietly nourishing in character. It’s particularly well suited to those who enjoy herbal teas with a bit of structure and depth.
This is a tea for consistency rather than novelty — simple, steady, and comfortable in its role.
🌿 Make Your Own Blends

Soft, sunny, and quietly comforting.
Known botanically as Calendula officinalis, its vivid orange and yellow petals have been gathered and used for centuries across European herbal traditions. Calendula was traditionally valued for its gentle, soothing nature, and for the way it brings a little brightness to both blends and routines without overwhelming them.
When brewed on its own, calendula produces a light, softly herbal infusion with a mild, slightly resinous sweetness. It’s subtle rather than bold, and often appreciated as much for its colour and presence as for its flavour.
Our calendula heads are dried carefully to preserve their colour and character, making them especially well suited to blending. Whether used alone or combined with other herbs, calendula brings warmth, balance, and a sense of lightness to the cup.
This is a tea that feels quietly optimistic — simple, gentle, and easy to return to.
🌿 Make Your Own Blends
Calendula blends easily with a wide range of herbs, adding colour, softness, and balance. It works particularly well with plants that are gentle, floral, or grounding in nature.

Lemon balm and chamomile form the heart of the blend, soothing and comforting, while elderflower and rose petals add relaxation and a subtle floral sweetness. Hawthorn blossom and bugleweed sit quietly underneath it all, steadying and calm, easing restlessness and racing minds.
When brewed, Twilight Garden produces a soft, floral, gently sweet infusion with a rounded, soothing character. Nothing shouts for attention. The flavours unfold gently, making it a tea that’s best sipped slowly, without distraction.
Our Twilight Garden blend is created with balance in mind — not heavy or overpowering, but thoughtfully layered, allowing each plant to play its part. It’s well suited to evenings, wind-down routines, or any moment when the pace of the day needs to ease.
This is a tea for closing the door gently on the day — unhurried, familiar, and quietly reassuring.

Fresh, green, and very much doing its own thing
Cleavers (Galium aparine) is a plant that doesn’t wait to be invited.
It appears early in the year, spilling through hedgerows, woodland edges, and damp corners, catching on sleeves as you pass — a quiet signal that the seasons are shifting. In traditional European folk herbalism, Cleavers was gathered fresh each spring and valued as a plant of movement and clearing, closely associated with the body’s natural systems of cleansing, flow and renewal.
Rather than stimulating or forcing change, Cleavers has long been described as gentle, cooling, and quietly supportive, often returned to after the heaviness of winter. Folk traditions speak of it as a plant for easing stagnation and encouraging things to move freely again — a soft reset rather than a strong intervention.
When dried with care, Cleavers makes a light, grassy tea with a clean, fresh character. It’s subtle rather than bold, and traditionally suited to regular, everyday use as part of a seasonal routine rather than a one-off remedy.
Our Cleavers tea is gathered in season and dried slowly to preserve the plant’s delicate nature. It’s a tea that reflects spring itself — fresh, unassuming, and best appreciated when taken steadily and simply.
🌿 Make Your Own Blends
Cleavers blends best with other light, gentle herbs, lending a fresh, green quality without dominating the cup. It works especially well in simple blends designed for everyday use and seasonal transitions.
Try blending with:
Hawthorn Blossom – floral and calming, very springlike
Ivan Chai – adds warmth and depth to Cleavers’ lightness
Mint – freshens and brightens without overpowering
Best for light, everyday blends rather than strong, single-note brews.
Ingredients

Fresh, green, and quietly powerful
Nettle (Urtica dioica) has been working alongside people for a very long time.It rises early in the year, pushing up through disturbed ground, woodland edges, and hedgerows — often overlooked or avoided, but deeply rooted in traditional European herbal practice. For generations, nettle has been gathered in spring as a nourishing plant, valued not for intensity, but for its steady, strengthening presence.
In folk traditions, nettle was often turned to after winter — a time when the body called for replenishment and support. Rather than acting quickly or dramatically, it’s long been associated with building, restoring, and gently bringing things back into balance. It’s a plant of resilience, both in how it grows and how it’s been used.
When handled and dried with care, nettle transforms completely. The sting disappears, leaving behind a rich, green tea with a rounded, earthy flavour. There’s a depth to it — something mineral, slightly grassy, and quietly satisfying — more grounding than light, more sustaining than fleeting.
Our Nettle tea is gathered in season and dried slowly to preserve its full character. Nothing forced, nothing stripped back — just the plant as it is, prepared with care and patience.
🌿 Make Your Own Blends
Nettle pairs well with a wide range of herbs, adding body and depth to blends without overwhelming them. It works especially well as a base for more complex or nourishing teas.
Try blending with:
Peppermint – lifts and brightens nettle’s depth
Red Clover – softens and rounds the flavour
Lemon Balm – adds a gentle citrus note
A good foundation for both everyday blends and more robust herbal infusions.

For seasons when the body asks for steadiness
Plant Power Defence is a grounding herbal tea blend created for times when resilience and everyday support feel especially important.
This blend brings together plants traditionally gathered during colder months and periods of challenge — herbs long valued in European folk practice for their relationship with protection, clarity, and balance. Rather than aiming to stimulate or overwhelm, these plants have historically been used to accompany the body through seasonal shifts, offering quiet reinforcement and warmth.
Self heal has been known in traditional herbalism as a humble but dependable plant, often associated with recovery and restoration. Elderflower and mint bring openness and freshness, while spruce tips lend a subtle resinous note long linked with winter traditions. Echinacea and usnea have been widely used in folk practice as boundary plants — herbs turned to when the body feels under pressure rather than at ease.
Plant Power Defence is blended with attention to flavour as well as tradition, resulting in a tea that is fresh, gently aromatic, and easy to drink regularly. It is intended for slow, consistent use — something to return to daily during seasonal transitions, rather than a short-term fix.
This is a tea for colder days, tired systems, and moments when care is best offered quietly and steadily.
Ingredients:
Self heal, elderflower, mint, spruce tips, echinacea, usnea
Suggested use:
Enjoy 1–2 cups daily during seasonal changes or whenever a steady, supportive blend feels appropriate.
Made in small batches
Traditionally used herbs associated with seasonal resilience
Balanced for flavour and everyday use
Ideal for daily ritual and seasonal care

Fresh air, in a cup.
This blend brings together herbs traditionally gathered from hedgerows, meadows, and forests — plants long associated with freshness, respiratory comfort, and seasonal resilience. Elderflower and fireweed form a soft, floral base, while mint and spruce tips lift the blend with a bright, cooling edge. Plantain and cleavers add a gentle green depth, and a small amount of ground ginger warms everything through. Usnea sits quietly in the background, tying the blend back to the forest itself.
When brewed, Forest Breath produces a clean, aromatic infusion with a balance of freshness and warmth. It opens gently on the palate, then settles into something steady and comforting — never harsh, never overpowering.
Our Forest Breath blend is designed for moments when the body feels weighed down by the season and the air feels heavy. It’s well suited to slow mornings, quiet afternoons, or anytime you want something that feels clear, supportive, and grounding.
This is a tea for moving through the colder months — fresh, forest-led, and quietly reassuring.

Forest flavours. Officially a supplement
Some flavours belong together because they come from similar places — if not geographically, then in spirit.
Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) grows slowly on birch trees in cold northern forests, shaped by long winters and clean air. Pine needles come from those same landscapes, sharp-scented and resinous, carrying the unmistakable character of woodland. Chai spices add warmth and familiarity — grounding the blend and softening the edges.
Traditionally, Chaga was prepared patiently and returned to often, while pine needles and warming spices were used to bring brightness and balance to otherwise steady preparations. Together, they create a blend that feels fresh, aromatic, and quietly grounding, without being heavy or overpowering.
This blend combines wild Scottish Chaga, carefully prepared pine needles, and a chai-style spice mix into a loose preparation intended to be used thoughtfully and in moderation.
Officially, this product is not a tea.
It is a food supplement with a suggested preparation method involving hot water.
The forest doesn’t mind what you call it — but the paperwork does.
