The Story
The Tea That Says “I’m Awake, But Make It Gentle”
This is the tea you grab when coffee feels like a slap in the face but you still need to get it together. Black tea brings just the right amount of caffeine—enough to wake you up, but not enough to make you jittery. It’s like a nudge, not a shove.
Then come the extras: rosehips for a little tang (but not the sour kind that makes you pucker), dried raspberry pieces that actually taste like fruit (not some weird candy version), and cornflower petals that make your cup look like it belongs in a fancy café. Do the petals change the flavor? Nope. But they’re pretty, and sometimes that’s reason enough.
What Makes Our Good Morning Tea Special?
- Loose leaf, not dust: Whole leaves and real fruit pieces steep cleaner and taste fuller than the ground tea in most bags. You can see exactly what's in the jar.
- Medium caffeine, well-balanced: Not herbal, not decaf. The black tea base provides a moderate caffeine level — noticeably less than coffee, enough for mornings.
- Rosehips for tartness: They add brightness without making the cup sour. A natural counterbalance to the sweetness of the raspberry.
- Real dried raspberry: Actual fruit pieces, not flavoring. The raspberry comes through hot or iced, and it tastes like the fruit.
- Works both ways: Brew hot for breakfast. Brew strong and pour over ice when it's warm out. The flavor holds either way.
- Small-batch blended in Owings Mills, MD: Packaged in glass that keeps the tea from absorbing fridge odors or going stale.
If you keep a jar next to the coffee maker, you probably won't stop reaching for it.
Brewing Instructions: Brew hot: 200°F, 1 tsp per 8oz, steep 3–5 mins. Drink black or with milk. For stronger tea, use 1.5 tsp and steep 5 mins (no longer to avoid bitterness). Iced: 2 tsp per 8oz, steep 5 mins, cool, and pour over ice. Add honey for sweeter fruit notes.
All of our teas are gluten-free, although not all of our teas, botanicals, and other ingredients come from gluten-free certified suppliers.
