"A cup as bold and extraordinary as the tree that inspired it."

On Socotra Island in the Arabian Sea, the Dragon Blood Tree grows in a shape that looks like it belongs on another planet. A flat, umbrella-like canopy above a thick trunk that bleeds dark crimson resin when cut. It's one of the most alien-looking plants on earth, and it's been revered for centuries for its protective and healing properties.

We named this blend after it because it shares that spirit. Bold. Crimson. Extraordinary. And genuinely good for you.

Whole cranberries, hibiscus petals, elderberries, and rosehips over a smooth rooibos base. Tart, berry-rich, and packed with the kind of antioxidants and vitamin C that make this one of the most wellness-forward blends we make. Hot or iced. Any time of day.

Organic hibiscus, organic rosehips, organic rooibos, natural flavor, organic dried blueberries, organic dried elderberries, organic dried cranberries

For a bold hot brew:
Bring fresh filtered water to a boil. Add 2 grams of tea (1 heaping teaspoon) to an infuser or directly into an 8 oz mug. Pour boiling water over the tea. Steep for 5–7 minutes for full, rich flavor. Strain and enjoy. A drizzle of honey enhances the berry notes beautifully.

For iced Dragon Tree Chai:
Brew double strength (2 tea bags or 2 heaping teaspoons) in 8 oz of boiling water. Steep for 7 minutes. Let cool, then pour over ice. Add a fresh orange slice, the citrus amplifies the hibiscus and makes this one of the most refreshing iced teas you'll have this summer.

Cocktail base:
Brew strong and chill. Use as a base for a crimson spritz — add sparkling water, a splash of gin or vodka, and a twist of orange peel. The color alone makes it the most beautiful drink in the room.

First Sip: Bold, tart hibiscus hits immediately. Vivid and crimson, like drinking a ripe berry.

Mid-Palate: Cranberry and elderberry deepen the fruit profile. Rich, layered, and satisfying.

The Sweetness: Blueberry adds a natural sweetness that balances the tartness perfectly. No sugar needed.

The Finish: Rooibos smooths everything out. Warm, earthy, and gentle.

Keep your tea in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid storing near the stove or in humid spaces. Stored properly, your tea will stay fresh and aromatic for up to 24 months.

For matcha, we recommend using within 1 month of opening for peak freshness and color.

What's inside, and why it matters

Every ingredient in our blends is there for a reason. Rooted in traditional use, supported by modern research, and chosen for the role it plays in flavor, function, or both.

Hibiscus

Heart Health · Blood Pressure

Hibiscus is one of the most antioxidant-rich botanicals in the world, packed with vitamin C. Combats stress and supports immune function. It helps lower blood pressure and supports liver health.

Elderberries

Immunity · Antioxidants

One of the most immune-supporting botanicals. Rich in vitamin C, elderberries reduce the duration and severity of colds and flu, support immune cell function, and deliver powerful antioxidant protection.

Blueberries

Brain Health · Anti-inflammatory

Blueberries support brain health, memory, and cognitive function. Combined with elderberries, they create the rich, layered berry profile that makes this blend so distinctive.

Cranberries

Urinary Health · Gut Health

Cranberries support urinary tract health through their pro-anthocyanidins compounds that prevent bacteria from adhering to the urinary tract lining. Also supports gut health and delivers significant antioxidant protection.

Rosehips

Skin Health · Joint Support

Rosehips contain more vitamin C per gram than citrus fruit. Supports immune function, collagen production, and skin vitality. Rosehips also carry anti-inflammatory properties that support joint health and may help with joint pain and stiffness.

Rooibos

Gut Health · Heart Health

Naturally caffeine-free and rich in antioxidants, rooibos offers a calming alternative to traditional tea while supporting heart health by improving blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

I love this. Such a bright, fruity flavor with just the right amount of tart. I did add a bit of sweetener. Perfection!! I will be recommending this to my knitting group.
