Which Grey Jade Herbals tea is your new favourite?

Why don't you enjoy a cup of calming jasmine tea?" - Uncle Iroh

Iroh's Blend is a dragon green tea scented with fresh jasmine flowers and blended white lotus flowers (IYKYK).

Drink this earthy tea and indulge in the pleasures of the earth and flesh.

EARTHLY PLEASURES is a roasted green tea blend with 3 renowned aphrodisiacs; Horney Goat Weed, Damiana and Ceylon Cinnamon.

Our EARTH blend of Nettle Genmaicha tea has grassy and earthy notes without losing that traditional toasted flavour. Steep it for only a minute or two and you will unlock the wonderful relaxing taste. For anyone who's had nettle tea on its own, you'll know this is a match made in heaven. Both green tea and nettle have a mellow body with earthy and grassy flavours. Add the toasted rice, and chef's kiss.

Is it an Earl Jade green tea or a Lady Grey black tea? It's both, with a gay ol' sprinkling of queer-coded pansy. Try this bright genre- (and gender-)defying LGBTea. It's delicious with a bit of honey (it brings out the bergamot and lemon).

A bold and decadently sweet cream of earl grey tea blended with rose petals and rosehips, this is a unique floral tea that hits you with bold flavour and the potent benefits of the rose plant. It tastes amazing as a creamy rose London Fog. The rose petals give a mild floral flavour while the rosehips bring out the rose flavour and make it a more robust taste.

Sapphic Breakfast is floral, fruity and bold. It's a bouquet of a tea you can drink in the morning on your own or with your sapphic lover.

With a base of gunpowder black tea with rich pirate lore*, plus fermented & smoked tea, rum spices, orange (for scurvy) rose (for femininity), this is a prized tea worth pirating! If I could gift this to Anne Bonny and Mary Read, I would.

I use a premium earl grey tea with organic damiana herb and cardamom pods. Damiana is a traditional herb used for many different reasons, including for well-being, balancing hormones, fighting anxiety and promoting relaxation.

Damiana has a malty and herbal maple syrup and kind of taste. It works perfectly with cardamom and the citrussy bergamot of earl grey. (I invite you to read citrussy like a degenerate like me.)

It's an herbalist's spin on the Persian Persuasion tea blend. The first time you drink it, try it with a little bit of sugar or honey, without milk.

Inspired by one of the four elements, FIRE is a spicy black Assam-based masala chai, with warming spices, heavy on the ginger root, peppercorn & chili pepper. It is a well-balanced chai, containing also a blend of cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, as well as a hint of anise and vanilla.

This is a tea that packs a punch! Ginger meets its match with smoky lapsang tea, and both are harmoniously balanced with vanilla.

SMOKE is some of the smokiest tea you'll ever try, short of LITERALLY SETTING TEA ON FIRE AND DRINKING IT. It is a blend of lapsang souchong black tea, rosemary leaves and a hint of black peppercorn. Between the alertness and the antioxidant health benefits of black tea, rosemary boosts both of these while also aiding cognitive and memory function, relieving adrenal fatigue and raising your mood!

Lavender Menace is a dark and aromatic black tea with lavender flowers, cacao nibs and a smoky earl grey base.

This LGBTea is a nod to the historical lavender menace within the feminist movement in the 20th century, but it also is meant to have a menacing bite, compared to the standard lavender earl grey tea.

What about Second Breakfast?

That's right, I've got something for you filthy little hobbitses.

Made with a blend of Assam and Yunnan estate teas, alternative herbal coffee ingredients (namely roasted chicory), and digestive herbs, like roasted dandelion root, ginger, calendula and turmeric, Second Breakfast will help you not only want a second cuppa tea, but help you make room for your second most important meal of the day.

Bring yourself back from the long sleep with this vegetal black tea designed for focus and wakefulness! Necromancy is a controlled-composed puerh tea blended with cordyceps mushroom, roasted maté and hojicha.

With a base of high-grade second flush darjeeling tea blended with bold Assam black tea, middle eastern sage leaves and gentle olive leaves, Levant Toujours is a great breakfast and afternoon tea.

French for "forever rising," Levant Toujours is a fundraising tea I've blended to raise funds for Palestinians in the Levant region, specifically in Gaza as the the 17-year siege has dramatically escalated since October 7.

IRON GODDESS IN SHINING ARMOUR: A blend of high-quality Iron Goddess of Mercy oolong tea with ironwort (Greek mountain tea), rosehips and rose petals. It's got a beautiful and grounding minerality that evokes iron swords and a rosiness that evokes femininity. Basically, it's an LGBTea homage to women with swords, specifically lesbians like Julie d'Aubigny, Chappell Roan at the VMAs and cross-dressing Joan of Arc.

Call me your Dungeon Master, because I grant you a(n oo-)Long Rest.

With rose petals supported by holy basil (vana tulsi), California poppy and rosehips, I wanted to offer something that would be deeply calming, as I lean further in to being an herbal healer and death doula.

It's made with all anti-anxiety herbs, including the tea leaves themselves. I highly recommend for deep relaxation, grief work, burn out, insomnia and self-introspection.

The feeling of warm, broken-in leather, the suppleness of buttery falls of your favourite flogger, the floaty feeling after a perfect session: this is what I'm capturing in a cup.

With a 99% oxidized oolong base, blended with smoky lapsang souchong, musky aged pu'erh (that's as old as I am!) and warming ceylon cinnamon, this is one of my most creative teas.

I use a premium oolong that's been wrapped around panax ginseng root then dried, mixed with warming and healing spices and a hint of sweetness through peach and vanilla to bring out and complement the oolong's natural sweetness. Also, I couldn't help but add a little ashwagandha to round out the adaptogenic properties.

While people, even emperors, have long thought ginseng helps you live longer (not to mention to help you have good smex), the only thing I'll confirm is that I really didn't skimp on the ginseng here. Most of the added herbs are just for flavour and to help me get a good name: Spice of (oo)Long Life

This is a red rooibos for people who don't love rooibos!

With true (Ceylon) cinnamon, fragrant damiana and dried earthy jasmine adorning a bed of red rooibos and honeybush, it is a delightful caffeine-free cup. The herbs themselves are calming and have traditional used for anxiety, lowering blood pressure & sugar and - most intentionally - as aphrodisiacs.

Zesty ginger balanced with wild pansy and black and pink peppercorns makes this LGBTea wonderfully digestive. Add in some fruit (orange fruit, peel and blossom, and freeze-dried peach and mango leaf) and you've got a fruity ginger pansy tea fitting for your kitchen c̶l̶o̶s̶e̶t̶ pantry.

LAMIA'S BLEND is an herbal mint tea, using an herbalist's definition of the word. Mint is the largest family of plants, including a wide variety of herbs, many of them cooling and good for upset stomachs, upset nervous systems and more.

Staying true to a mint tea taste, the dominant herb and flavour is cooling peppermint. I blend with it a three-herb blend of adaptogenic holy basil (rama tulsi, vana tulsi and krishna tulsi), calming lemon balm, bright spearmint and just a hint of lavender flowers. (Did you know lavender is in the mint family?)

Have you ever had green rooibos tea? Rooibos tea is a caffeine-free tea that is often oxidized into red rooibos, but green rooibos is not oxidized, helping it retain its powerful antioxidant properties.

I blended it with some zesty lemon verbana and cooling peppermint for a caffeine-free dream. It's perfectly balanced in flavour and function. Together and separately, its used for digestion, anxiety and sleep. The mind-gut connection was a happy accident when I picked out the herbs based on taste and later realized all their purported benefits lined up.
