A new take on the fifteen-herb Thai blend. Jewel Vine makes up 65% of it; the rest leans warm and aromatic, with star anise, cinnamon and clove, sappan wood for a red-brown infusion, and Siam cardamom for a cool, menthol-like aroma. Nothing in it comes from the tea plant, so the cup is caffeine-free.
In the pack
- 25 golden teabags per pack, each holding 3 g and making one cup, packed five to a resealable pouch.
- Each teabag holds a soluble herbal powder: open it, empty it into hot water and stir.

How to brew it
Open one golden teabag, empty the powder into about 200 ml of hot water and stir well. Let it stand for 2 to 5 minutes, stir once more, then drink it hot, or cool it down and pour it over ice. If your pack gives different directions, follow those. The pack recommends no more than one teabag a day.
