Feel grounded yet invigorated with our Dark Forest herbal tea blend. Known for being a smooth, rich coffee alternative, this flavorful tea pairs nicely with milk and is nearly caffeine-free. Often called a Pacific Northwest version of a chai, it serves as a satisfying start to the day or an enjoyable afternoon interlude. Dark Forest goes well with solitude and social get-togethers. The sweet fullness of chicory is balanced out by rosemary top notes. It’s dessert-like in nature with hints of nutmeg, cacao, and ginger spice.

Brewing Instructions
8 oz Cup
- Scoop a heaping teaspoon of tea into infuser.
- Heat water to 212° F (boiling).
- Pour 8 oz. of water over tea leaves.
- Steep tea for 3-5 minutes (depending on taste preference).
- Remove infuser and enjoy tea.
- Dark Forest is quite tasty with milk, soy, etc., and even a touch of sweetener (we recommend agave nectar).
Potful
Simply add to your infuser one heaping teaspoon of leaf per 8 oz. of water and place it in your pot, then add the appropriate amount of 212° F water and let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the infuser and enjoy.
Brewing Iced Tea
Our opinion is that a cooled concentrate works best, as regular-strength brew tends to become watery as the ice melts. So, use the above leaf quantities, but half the water, allow it to cool, then pour it over ice and enjoy! The brew will dilute down to proper strength as the ice melts.
