PACKAGING

We offer two kinds of packaging.

Glass is our original premium packaging, chosen for keeping spices fresh and for its recyclability.

Recyclable pouches is our new convenience packaging, for those looking to save on shipping or more easily pack our products for travel.

Note many companies use compostable pouches, but the vast majority of these only degrade to microplastics. We have intentionally chosen plastic no 4 as it can be recycled in facilities in our area.

SHIPPING

Although we are huge fans of our glass jars, the cost of shipping is significant. To address this we are giving you the option.

Recyclable refill pouches ship free.

Glass jars is flat rate $10, and free when order total is above $100.

BREWING INSTRUCTIONS

By cup (quick method): add 1/2 tsp of spice to 1 cup of milk &/or water, then heat to near boiling. Sweeten to taste and whisk. Spices will settle. For caffeine add black tea or coffee.

For hot drinks:
We like 1/4 cup boiling water from the kettle, 1/4 tsp honey, and with 3/4 cup oat milk heated in a sauce pan or milk frother.

For iced drink:
We like 1/8 cup boiling water from the kettle, 1/4 tsp honey, ice, and the rest cold oat milk. Note, if you are a spice queen, you might want to add a bit more to the boiling water to overpower the cold.


In a pot (traditional method):
briefly simmer 1/2 tsp spices in 1/4 cup water and whisk. Add 3/4 cup milk of choice and heat to drinking temperature. Sweeten to taste and whisk before serving. No need to strain out the spices, they sill settle in the pot and/or cups.

For caffeine: add a black tea bag during the infusion process, or sub water component with coffee for a modern take known as a dirty chai.

Cardamom

The third most expensive spice in the world. It grows low to the ground, making it susceptible to rot and pests, and it has to be harvested by hand.


Known to regulate blood pressure with its natural vasodilator properties. Supports insulin regulation by increasing sensitivity & glucose metabolism. Its strong cooling effect is anti-bacterial & also helps open the airways.

Ceylon Cinnamon

Ceylon is referred to as true cinnamon because Sri Lanka (formerly named Ceylon) is the birthplace of the spice. Ceylon is actually the bark of a tree, that must be processed by hand, and it drying in the sun is what causes this curly shape.


Cinnamon is high in antioxidants. Its antimicrobial properties support gut health & dental hygiene. Known to support heart health by helping to reduce LDL cholesterol & increasing blood flow.
