Water

Made for moments like

Afternoon without caffeine

When you want a proper cup that tastes like something, not a glass of water, but need to skip the caffeine.

Summer jug on the table

Make a pitcher of cold brew and leave it in the fridge. Guests help themselves, ice cubes clinking.

Evening wind-down

A warm, ruby-red mug on the side table while you read, watch telly, or just stare out the window.

Good questions

Things people ask us in the shop

Does Rubus et al. contain any caffeine?

This herbal infusion is naturally caffeine-free.

Can I add milk?

We would not recommend it. The tartness and the fruit flavours do not pair well with milk. A splash of honey or a slice of orange works better if you want to sweeten or soften it.

How many cups will I get from 100g?

At about 3g per cup, 50g makes roughly 16 cups and 100g about 33 cups. Adjust the amount to suit your taste.

What does it taste like compared to raspberry-flavoured tea?

It is more tart and less sweet than most fruit teas. The hibiscus provides a cranberry-like zing, and the raspberry leaf adds an earthy, slightly dry edge rather than sugary berry sweetness.

How should I store it?

Keep it sealed, cool and dry, away from direct sunlight and strong aromas. An airtight caddy or the resealable pouch it arrives in will keep it fresh for months.
