Hive & Herb Tea
Hive & Herb is an innovative twist on traditional loose leaf tea, blending invigorating organic herbs (lemongrass, ginger, thyme) with locally sourced honey from Far North Queensland. This tea-honey fusion is designed for versatility, it's refreshingly crisp when chilled and comfortingly warm when hot. Whether brewed with water for a pure herbal infusion or frothed into a creamy latte, Hive & Herb is your nourishing and delicious companion.
Hive & Herb Tea Blend: Tablelands Honey & Organic Herbs
Hive & Herb is more than just an herbal tea; it's a sensory delight inspired by the deep dedication to flavour and quality we put into our renowned Sticky Chai. We created this blend to transcend the ordinary, offering a product that is both uniquely versatile and deeply nourishing. Blending bright organic herbs like lemongrass, ginger, thyme, and lemon peel directly with pristine local honey sourced from the Tablelands, near Cairns in Far North Queensland, allows us to craft a blend that is naturally sweet and intensely aromatic. It’s perfect for soothing a sore throat or boosting your spirits, but its primary purpose is simply to offer a truly exceptional, easy-to-love beverage.
