Wizard Herbs Tea is a loose-leaf herbal infusion that combines seven botanicals — fennel, lemongrass, liquorice, chamomile, rosehip, hibiscus, and citrus peel — into a warming cup for cold afternoons. No caffeine, no tea leaves, just a proper herbal blend with a name that promises more drama than the cup actually delivers (in a good way).
A seven-herb blend built for cold afternoons
Wizard Herbs Tea is what happens when someone throws the best bits of a herbalist's shelf into one tin and stirs. The base is fennel and liquorice — sweet, slightly aniseed, slightly earthy — which is why you don't need sugar. On top of that, you've got chamomile blossom for softness, hibiscus and rosehip for that deep ruby colour and tart finish, lemongrass for lift, and citrus peel doing the top notes.
The result: a cup that smells like a spice market and tastes like a proper herbal tea, not like the supermarket sachets with three dried leaves and a dream. It's warming without being spicy, sweet without being cloying, and it doesn't need honey to be drinkable black.
What's actually in the tin
Seven ingredients, no fillers, no flavourings. Here's what each one brings to the cup.
| Ingredient | What it adds |
|---|---|
| Fennel | Sweet, slightly aniseed base note |
| Lemongrass | Bright, lemony lift |
| Liquorice root | Natural sweetness — why you don't need sugar |
| Chamomile blossom | Soft, floral, slightly apple-like |
| Rosehip | Tart fruit body, deep colour |
| Hibiscus blossom | Ruby colour, cranberry-like tartness |
| Citrus peel | Fresh top notes, bitterness balance |
How to brew it properly
Loose-leaf herbal tea rewards a bit of patience. Two teaspoons per cup, water just off the boil (around 95°C), and a 5–7 minute steep. Shorter and you'll miss the rosehip and hibiscus body; longer and the liquorice starts to dominate.
- Measure 1–2 teaspoons (around 2g) of loose tea per 250ml cup.
- Boil water and let it sit for 30 seconds — you want around 95°C, not a rolling boil.
- Pour over the tea in a strainer, teapot, or infuser.
- Steep for 5–7 minutes. The cup will turn a deep ruby from the hibiscus.
- Strain and drink as is. No milk. Sweetener optional — the liquorice usually handles it.
Who this is for (and who should skip it)
This is the tea for people who find plain chamomile too soft and plain rooibos too one-note. The liquorice and fennel give it structure; the hibiscus and rosehip give it fruit. It's a good evening tea because there's no caffeine, but it's punchy enough to drink during the day without feeling like you've given up.
The honest limitation: if you have high blood pressure, skip this one. Liquorice root contains glycyrrhizin, which in regular or high doses can raise blood pressure and lower potassium levels. A cup here and there is unlikely to matter for most people, but if you're already managing hypertension, there are better choices on the shelf — Sleepy Time or a straight chamomile blend will do the job without the liquorice issue.
Pairs well with a proper cast-iron teapot or a simple glass infuser mug — loose-leaf blends like this one look and brew better when you can see the hibiscus bloom. If you're building a herbal tea shelf, the Sleepy Time blend is the caffeine-free counterpart for wind-down evenings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Wizard Herbs Tea contain caffeine?
No. It's a pure herbal infusion made from fennel, lemongrass, liquorice, chamomile, rosehip, hibiscus, and citrus peel. No black, green, or white tea leaves, so zero caffeine. Safe to drink in the evening.
Why isn't it suitable for people with high blood pressure?
The blend contains liquorice root, which has glycyrrhizin in it. Regular or high-dose consumption of glycyrrhizin can raise blood pressure and lower potassium. If you already have hypertension, pick a liquorice-free blend instead.
What does it actually taste like?
Naturally sweet from the fennel and liquorice, with tart fruit body from the rosehip and hibiscus, and fresh citrus-and-lemongrass top notes. Think warming spice market rather than floral garden. You don't need sugar — the liquorice handles it.
How long does 100g last?
Roughly 40 to 50 cups at 2g per cup. One tin is around a month of daily drinking, or two to three months as an occasional cup. Keep the lid shut tight — the aroma fades if it's exposed to air.
Can I re-steep the leaves?
You can get a second steep out of it, but the hibiscus and rosehip give most of their colour and tartness on the first brew. The second cup is softer, more chamomile-forward, and lighter in colour. Worth trying once to see if you like it.
How should I store it?
Keep it in the airtight tin or packaging it came in, away from direct sunlight and heat. Loose-leaf herbal blends lose their aroma fast if left open — citrus peel and lemongrass are the first to fade. A kitchen cupboard away from the stove is ideal.
