Description

Feeling a little out of sync? Tī Manawa is your gentle reminder tea, a moment to pause, breathe, and come back to yourself.

'Manawa’ speaks to the heart and the breath, your inner centre.

This soothing blend brings together Lemongrass and Lemon Balm for a soft herbal lift, balanced with NZ Mānuka and wild-harvested Horopito from our family farm in the South Island of Aotearoa.

Horopito gives this blend its natural peppery warmth, adding a gentle spicy heat to the cup. It’s calming, fresh, and grounding. If you’re new to Horopito, we recommend starting with less than 1 teaspoon and adjusting to taste.

Perfect for busy mornings, mid-day resets, or unwinding at the end of the day.

What does it taste like?

A soft, fresh herbal blend with light citrus notes from Lemongrass and Lemon Balm, warm earthy tones from Mānuka, and a spicy peppery heat from Horopito.


The Horopito gives this tea its warming kick, so if you’re new to the blend, start with less than 1 teaspoon and adjust to taste.

Is Tī Manawa hot or spicy?
