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. 🌼 Dandelion & Burdock The classic spring-ritual root pair 🔥 Warming Ginger Cut root pieces for the warming top note ✨ Naturally Sweet Licorice and fennel round the bitter roots ✨ **The Sampson Promise** We only put ingredients in our products that we would use on our own family. Every ingredient has a purpose. If it doesn’t need to be there, it isn’t. Type Herbal Infusion Caffeine None Best Time Anytime Format Loose Leaf Steep Time 5–7 min Servings ~25 cups (50g) ## 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. Origin & Sourcing Built from the kitchen-cupboard cast that European and East Asian herbal traditions both reach for at the change of seasons — dandelion, burdock, ginger, lemongrass, with fennel and licorice rounding the cup. Caffeine-free, sold as a ritual rather than a remedy, blended in small batches for the Sampson shelf. ## Images - https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0571/5319/2067/files/detox-herbal-tea-5342970.jpg?v=1780653367 - https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0571/5319/2067/files/detox-herbal-tea-3271882.jpg?v=1780653368
