Description

A bright cup of morning magic.

Fresh, citrusy, gently warming and just as good over ice.

  • First burst of morning light
  • Clean, zesty citrus glow
  • Herbal goodness
  • Zero caffeine, all the lift

Ginger wakes you up. Lemon Myrtle and Verbena bring crisp, sun-warmed citrus. A touch of organic Mānuka leaf grown here in Aotearoa adds that soft, grounding NZ note that's hard to put into words, but easy to taste.

Our certified organic lemon myrtle (Backhousia citriodora) is grown in Australia. We acknowledge the Aboriginal peoples who have known and cared for this plant for thousands of years, and we're grateful to share its bright flavour in every cup.

Perfect for slow mornings, busy afternoons, or anytime you need a delicious reset. Try it sparkling through a SodaStream for a next-level treat.

It's like drinking a fresh start.

FAQ

Is this tea caffeine-free?

Yes! 100% caffeine-free. All the good vibes, none of the jitters.

What does it taste like?

Bright, zesty, citrus-forward with a gentle ginger warmth and a soft herbal finish.

It’s like drinking a fresh start.

When should I drink it?

Morning, afternoon, school-pickup slump, after meals…
Basically anytime you want to feel brighter and refreshed.

Is this safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Everyone’s different, so it’s best to check with your healthcare professional.

Herbal teas can be great, but always good to get the all-clear.

Does it give you energy?

Not the way caffeine does - it’s more “natural uplift” than “buzz.”
Think: citrusy freshness + a gentle ginger glow.

Does it taste spicy?

Only a little. Ginger gives a soft, cosy warmth, but the citrus keeps things bright and fresh.

Nothing fiery - it’s very easy drinking.

Can I drink it iced?

Please do. Brew it strong, cool it down and pour over ice.
Or… SodaStream it for a bubbly lemon-ginger dream. (Seriously, try it.)

Does it contain Mānuka honey?

Nope - just Mānuka leaf, which brings a smooth, grounding note. You are welcome to add Mānuka honey for natural sweetness.

Where do the ingredients come from?

We harvest wild only where it’s sustainable, and partner with organic growers for the rest. Our Mānuka leaf comes from a certified organic grower here in Aotearoa. Our certified organic lemon myrtle (Backhousia citriodora) is grown in Australia. It’s native to the rainforests of Queensland, where Aboriginal peoples have used its leaves for flavour and healing for thousands of years. We acknowledge them as its first knowledge holders, and we’re grateful to bring it together with our Mānuka - a gift from both sides of the Tasman.
