Hemp is a hardy plant cultivated for thousands of years in Asia and Europe for its fiber, seeds and leaves. The hemp leaves used in tea are completely non-psychoactive and brew a mild, green, grassy cup with a soft herbal aroma and a gently earthy finish. Hemp works well with green tea, chamomile, mint, lemongrass and lavender in herbal blends. Its subtle flavor lets brighter ingredients take the lead, and it tastes pleasant both as a warm evening cup and served iced.

Nettle, or stinging nettle, is a leafy wild plant that grows across Europe, Asia and North America; once dried, its leaves lose their sting completely. Nettle brews a mild, earthy cup with a green, spinach-like flavor and a light grassy sweetness. It blends nicely with peppermint, lemon balm, lemongrass, rooibos and green tea, which add brightness to its gentle vegetal notes. In the British countryside, nettle tea is a traditional springtime brew, made from the tender young tops picked in early spring.

Peppermint is a natural hybrid of spearmint and watermint, native to Europe and the Middle East and now grown widely in places like Oregon and Washington. Its leaves brew a bold, cooling cup with a crisp, sweet, intensely minty aroma and a clean, lingering finish. Peppermint is wonderful on its own and pairs well with green tea, black tea, rooibos, chocolate, licorice and lemongrass. It is naturally caffeine-free as an herb, and it is equally refreshing hot after dinner or iced in summer.
