Hive & Herb Tea

Hive & Herb is an innovative twist on traditional loose leaf teas, blending organic herbs like lemongrass, ginger, thyme, and lemon peel with local honey sourced from Speewah, near Cairns in Far North Queensland. This tea-honey fusion offers a uniquely versatile experience—refreshingly invigorating when chilled and comfortingly warm when served hot. Whether brewed with water for a pure herbal infusion or turned into a creamy latte, this blend adapts to your every mood. It’s a nourishing companion for soothing a sore throat or boosting your spirits on a sick day, but that’s just one aspect of it. Hive & Herb isn’t about tradition; it’s about crafting a sensory delight that transcends the ordinary.

We created this product inspired by our amazing sticky chai, bringing the same dedication to flavour and quality to a whole new experience.

How to Brew Hive & Herb

Hot Tea: Add a heaped spoon of Hive & Herb to your teapot, then top up with hot water just off the boil (around 95°C). Let it steep for 5 minutes, then pour and enjoy.

Iced Tea:

1. The quick way: Prepare the hot tea as described above, then pour it over a glass filled with ice.
2. The steep method: In a jug, add a heaped spoon of Hive & Herb and just enough hot water to cover it. Let it steep for 10 minutes or longer, depending on your taste. Top up with cold water, strain, and serve.
   Note: We don’t recommend cold brewing this tea directly, as the honey won’t dissolve properly. If you want to cold brew it, dissolve the honey first by adding a bit of warm water to a heaped spoon of tea, then mix in cold water. Refrigerate for 24 hours or until it reaches your preferred flavor.

Latte: Add a heaped spoon of Hive & Herb to a milk jug with just enough water to cover it. Let it steep for 3 minutes, then steam briefly to release more flavor. Top up with milk and steam as usual. Strain into a cup and enjoy a creamy, aromatic latte.
