Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh herbs instead of dried?
Fresh top-quality herbs will produce a noticeably better blend, though I know not everyone has a garden of fresh herbs year-round — so dried herbs are the practical default and work well.
How should I store the dry blend to keep it fresh?
Store the blended tea in an airtight container in a cool, dry, and dark place — the same conditions you’d use for any kitchen spice — to preserve the freshness of the herbs.
