Across cultures, herbs have long been brewed after a heavy meal — the after-dinner mint, the digestif glass, the fennel seeds at the door of an Indian restaurant. This blend gathers the four herbs that show up most often: peppermint for its cool top note, fennel for sweet body, ginger for warmth, anise to round the cup. Naturally caffeine-free, gentle on the stomach, and gentle in flavour — strong enough to feel after a meal without being aggressive. No fillers, no « blend of botanicals » padding. 🌿 Cool Peppermint Whole-leaf peppermint, not chopped or dusty 🌾 Fennel & Anise Whole seeds for sweet, slow-release flavour 🔥 Real Ginger Cut ginger root — the gentle warming note ✨ **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 After Meals Format Loose Leaf Steep Time 5–7 min Servings ~25 cups (50g) ## Tasting Notes 🌿 Cool Mint Top Aroma Peppermint hits first — bright, cool, slightly menthol. Cuts through whatever was just on the dinner plate. 🌾 Sweet Seed Body Body Fennel and anise carry the middle of the cup — both are naturally sweet, with a soft, almost liquorice-like roundness. They turn what would be a sharp peppermint cup into a balanced one. 🔥 Warm Ginger Finish Aftertaste The cup closes with a low, warm ginger note — gentle, not spicy. The kind of finish that settles a cup after a meal. ## How to Brew 01 Measure One heaped teaspoon (about 2g) per 8oz cup. Whole leaves and seeds are bulky — don’t under-fill the spoon. 02 Heat the Water Bring water to a full boil — 100°C / 212°F. Herbal infusions need higher heat than tea leaves to fully release their oils. 03 Steep 5–7 Minutes Cover the cup if you can — the volatile oils in mint and fennel will otherwise drift off. Five minutes for a softer cup, seven for a fuller one. Water 100°C Time 5–7 min Per Cup 1 heaped tsp Drink at the close of a heavy meal rather than alongside it — let the cup land on a settled stomach and do its quiet work. A teaspoon of honey works, but the blend is sweet enough to drink unsweetened. ## About the Tea 🌿 Peppermint The Top Note Whole-leaf peppermint rather than chopped — the volatile oils stay in the leaf longer, so the cup keeps its cool freshness rather than going dusty. 🌾 Fennel & Anise Seeds The Sweet Middle Whole seeds, lightly cracked. They release their natural sweetness slowly across the steep — the longer the brew, the rounder the cup. 🔥 Ginger Root The Warmth Cut ginger root rather than powdered — gentler in heat, longer in flavour. Keeps the warm finish without turning the cup spicy. In the tin Peppermint leaves, fennel seeds, ginger root, anise seeds. Origin & Sourcing A traditional digestive blend built from four whole-cut botanicals — peppermint, fennel, ginger and anise. Caffeine-free, naturally gluten-free, no fillers. Blended in small batches for the Sampson shelf. ## Images - https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0571/5319/2067/files/digestion-at-the-waterfront-herbal-tea-6037569.jpg?v=1780653428 - https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0571/5319/2067/files/digestion-at-the-waterfront-herbal-tea-2119989.jpg?v=1780653428
