For Him

Saw palmetto has a long history of traditional use, particularly valued in men's herbal blends. Nettle and turmeric bring an earthy depth to the cup. Ginger and ginseng add warmth and a familiar, energising character. Green tea contributes natural antioxidants, and ashwagandha, a revered herb in Ayurvedic tradition, rounds out the blend with grounding depth.

Use 1 heaped teaspoon per cup in 80°C water.

The steep time is completely personal; there's no hard and fast rule on your own personal taste.

• If you like a milder brew, steep for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

• A little bit stronger brew, steep from 1 minute to 5 minutes.

• If you really like a strong brew, steep for as long as you like!

Sweeten to taste with honey, lemon or rock sugar.

Remember, the beauty of loose leaf teas is that the blends can be brewed a few times, although they will be weaker each time.
