Harvest Moon – Autumn Green Tea Blend

Capture the magic of an autumn evening with Harvest Moon, a cozy, golden-hued tea inspired by crisp fall nights, harvest gatherings, and the warm glow of the full moon. This enchanting blend brings together smooth Ceylon green tea, sweet apple, bright orange and lemon peel, and warming cinnamon and ginger for a comforting cup that tastes like autumn in a teacup.

Rosehips add a gentle fruity tartness, while delicate calendula petals lend a touch of golden sunshine to this beautifully balanced blend. Each sip brings together fresh citrus, mellow fruit, and cozy spice, creating a warm yet refreshing tea perfect for watching the leaves fall, curling up with a favorite book, or enjoying a quiet moment beneath the harvest moon.

Flavor Notes: Sweet apple, bright citrus, warming cinnamon, gentle ginger, and a smooth green tea finish.

Perfect For: Crisp autumn mornings, cozy afternoons, harvest celebrations, and peaceful evenings under the moonlight.

3 oz

Ingredients: Ceylon green tea, apple, orange peel, cinnamon, rosehips, ginger, lemon peel, calendula

Let the season slow down, the kettle sing, and every cup remind you of the magic in autumn.
