A: All our tea blends and coffee are crafted in small batches, so quality and freshness are always a priority. Once you place and order, there is usually a processing time of 2 to 4 days before it ships out. Shipping is available across the Continental United States, and you’ll get email updates with tracking information as soon as your order is on the way.

A:Smoked coffee beans are prepared by cold-smoking roasted coffee over real wood—like cherrywood—so the beans take on subtle layers of smoky flavor that you won’t find in regular coffee. The process adds a gentle smokiness that doesn’t overpower the natural coffee taste, just gives it a smooth, slightly bold twist. It’s not like drinking liquid smoke; instead, you get a balanced brew with a hint of that smoky aroma. The result is a unique cup that stands out from traditional coffee, but it’s still approachable even if you’re not usually into smoked foods.

A: Loose leaf tea is available for purchase online, and there’s a wide selection to choose from, including herbal blends, classic black teas, and some teas you might not find everywhere, like Butterfly Pea Flower Tea or Smoked Lady Grey Tea. If you’re new to brewing loose leaf, start simple—a tea like Sleep Dreams Tea or Cha Cha Chai is an easy pick, and comes with straightforward brewing instructions. For equipment, all you need is a basic tea infuser—something like the Snap Ball Tea Infuser or Good Vibes Tea Steeper works well. Just add one to two teaspoons of tea per cup, pour over hot water, and let it steep for the recommended time on the package. Loose leaf gives you more control over strength and flavor, and it’s easy once you get the hang of it.

A: Herbal tea blends are made using real, natural ingredients, focusing on minimal processing and honest sourcing. Many teas and herbs carry certifications like Organic and Kosher, as well as SQF Certification for food safety. This ensures blends meet strict quality and safety standards. Ingredients are sourced locally whenever possible to support community farms and environmental responsibility. Every batch is produced with careful attention to maintaining natural quality and certifications.

A:Sleep Dreams Tea is a caffeine-free herbal blend made with calming herbs like chamomile, passionflower, and lemon balm, designed to support relaxation and help you unwind as part of your nightly routine or any time you want to feel more at ease. To brew it for the best flavor, steep 1–2 teaspoons of loose leaf tea in hot (not boiling) water—about 200°F—for 5 to 7 minutes. Cover your mug or teapot while steeping to keep in the essential oils, then strain and enjoy. Adjust the steeping time or amount to taste if you like it stronger or milder.

A: The Butterfly Pea Flower Tea is a herbal blend that naturally changes color when you add lemon or any citrus. The tea starts out blue, but a squeeze of lemon juice will turn it a vibrant purple due to the change in pH. To brew: use about 1 teaspoon of the loose tea per cup, pour hot (just under boiling) water over it, and let it steep for 5–7 minutes. Once it’s brewed and still hot, add a splash of lemon juice and watch the color shift. Enjoy it hot or pour it over ice for a pretty iced tea effect.

A: Licorice root is a popular ingredient in herbal tea and is often used in herbal tea blends for its naturally sweet flavor and soothing properties. However, licorice root may affect blood pressure, and people with high blood pressure (hypertension) should use caution when consuming licorice root tea. Some compounds in licorice root, particularly glycyrrhizin, have been shown to potentially raise blood pressure when consumed in large amounts or over time.

If you have high blood pressure or are managing hypertension, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional before regularly drinking licorice root herbal tea. While licorice root tea can be enjoyed in moderation by many people, those with blood pressure concerns should look for herbal tea blends labeled “deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL)” or choose caffeine-free herbal teas specifically formulated for heart health and blood pressure support.

A: Hibiscus tea is a popular herbal tea known for its tart flavor and potential wellness benefits, but it may not be recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Some studies suggest that hibiscus may affect hormone levels or uterine activity, which is why it’s generally advised to avoid hibiscus tea during pregnancy.

For those who are breastfeeding, there is limited research on the safety of hibiscus tea, so it’s best to use caution. If you are pregnant or nursing, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional before adding hibiscus herbal tea or any herbal tea blends to your daily routine. Choosing caffeine-free herbal teas specifically formulated for pregnancy or postpartum support may be a safer option.
