🌿 Herbal☕ Caffeine-Free🌼 Spring Ritual🌿 Loose Leaf

The spring-ritual cup — dandelion, burdock root and ginger, the kitchen-cupboard botanicals long brewed at the change of seasons.

European, North American and East Asian herbal traditions all share a recurring pattern: at the change of seasons, particularly into spring, kitchens reach for the bittery roots and leaves — dandelion, burdock, nettle, fennel, ginger — and brew them as ritual cups. The reasoning is older than its packaging; the framing is simply that these are the botanicals long associated with the change of seasons.

Sampson’s blend is built from that same recurring cast: dandelion leaf and root, burdock root, ginger and lemongrass, with a small accent of fennel and licorice for the rounding sweetness. The cup brews earthy, slightly bitter, slightly spicy — the way a kitchen-cupboard ritual cup is meant to brew. Caffeine-free. Sampson makes no medical or efficacy claim — the blend is sold as the ritual it has always been.

Tasting Notes

🌿

Earthy Root Top

Aroma

The aroma reads earthy and slightly spicy — dandelion root brings the soil-and-roasted-chicory note, ginger sits warm behind it, lemongrass adds a clean citrus brightness on top.

🌼

Bitter-Sweet Body

Body

The body is the bitter-sweet middle that defines a roots-and-bitter-leaves blend — dandelion and burdock bring the structured, slightly bitter spine; licorice and fennel round it with natural sweetness so the cup never goes harsh.

✨

Warm Long Finish

Aftertaste

Closes warm with the ginger holding the longest, slightly sweet from the licorice. The cup ends grounding rather than perfumed — closer to a kitchen-broth cup than a dessert tea.

How to Brew

01

Measure

One heaped teaspoon (about 2–3g) per 8oz cup. The cut is mixed root-and-leaf — stir before scooping to mix evenly.

02

Heat the Water

Bring water to a full boil — 100°C / 212°F. Roots need real heat to release their character.

03

Steep 5–7 Minutes

Cover the cup. Five for a softer cup, seven for full earthy body. The cup is forgiving on time — the roots don’t turn bitter past the steep window.

Water

100°C

Time

5–7 min

Per Cup

1 heaped tsp

A small spoon of honey rounds the cup if you want it softer; a slice of lemon brightens it. Drinks well as a daily ritual or as a seasonal-change cup — Sampson sells the brew, not a claim about what it does.

About the Tea

🌼

Dandelion & Burdock

The Heart

Dandelion leaf and root and burdock root are the structural pair — the kitchen-cupboard bitters that European and East Asian traditions both reach for at the change of seasons. They give the cup its slightly earthy, slightly bitter spine, the spine that distinguishes a ritual cup from a fruit tea.

🔥

Ginger & Lemongrass

The Lift

Cut ginger root brings warmth and a peppery top note that keeps the bitter roots from going dry; cut lemongrass adds a clean citrus brightness across the middle. Together they make the cup drinkable rather than medicinal.

✨

Fennel & Licorice

The Round

Fennel seed and licorice root close the cup with natural sweetness — they’re the classic European apothecary bottom-note for any roots-forward blend, the reason the bitter spine doesn’t turn the cup harsh.

In the tin

Dandelion leaf and root, burdock root, ginger root, lemongrass, fennel seed, licorice root.
