🌿 Herbal☕ Caffeine-Free🍽 After-Meal🌿 Loose Leaf
The traditional after-meal cup — peppermint, fennel, ginger and anise, brewed clean.
Across cultures, herbs have long been brewed after a heavy meal — the after-dinner mint, the digestif glass, the fennel seeds at the door of an Indian restaurant. This blend gathers the four herbs that show up most often: peppermint for its cool top note, fennel for sweet body, ginger for warmth, anise to round the cup.
Naturally caffeine-free, gentle on the stomach, and gentle in flavour — strong enough to feel after a meal without being aggressive. No fillers, no « blend of botanicals » padding.

Tasting Notes
🌿
Cool Mint Top
Aroma
Peppermint hits first — bright, cool, slightly menthol. Cuts through whatever was just on the dinner plate.
🌾
Sweet Seed Body
Body
Fennel and anise carry the middle of the cup — both are naturally sweet, with a soft, almost liquorice-like roundness. They turn what would be a sharp peppermint cup into a balanced one.
🔥
Warm Ginger Finish
Aftertaste
The cup closes with a low, warm ginger note — gentle, not spicy. The kind of finish that settles a cup after a meal.
How to Brew
01
Measure
One heaped teaspoon (about 2g) per 8oz cup. Whole leaves and seeds are bulky — don’t under-fill the spoon.
02
Heat the Water
Bring water to a full boil — 100°C / 212°F. Herbal infusions need higher heat than tea leaves to fully release their oils.
03
Steep 5–7 Minutes
Cover the cup if you can — the volatile oils in mint and fennel will otherwise drift off. Five minutes for a softer cup, seven for a fuller one.
Water
100°C
Time
5–7 min
Per Cup
1 heaped tsp
Drink at the close of a heavy meal rather than alongside it — let the cup land on a settled stomach and do its quiet work. A teaspoon of honey works, but the blend is sweet enough to drink unsweetened.
About the Tea
🌿
Peppermint
The Top Note
Whole-leaf peppermint rather than chopped — the volatile oils stay in the leaf longer, so the cup keeps its cool freshness rather than going dusty.
🌾
Fennel & Anise Seeds
The Sweet Middle
Whole seeds, lightly cracked. They release their natural sweetness slowly across the steep — the longer the brew, the rounder the cup.
🔥
Ginger Root
The Warmth
Cut ginger root rather than powdered — gentler in heat, longer in flavour. Keeps the warm finish without turning the cup spicy.
In the tin
Peppermint leaves, fennel seeds, ginger root, anise seeds.
