Also known as the elderberry bush, the elder has been considered a “magic tree” since time immemorial. There are now elderberry bushes throughout all of central Europe. They can be recognised in spring by the striking white flowerage and the familiar black shiny berries in autumn. The flowers of the elderberry taste delicately sweet and pleasantly mild.

Whether in the Christmas biscuits, as a curry mixture or in lemonade: The bulbous ginger is among the best-known spice plants in the world. For thousands of years, it has been cultivated in the tropical heat of eastern Asia. It gives many of our YOGI TEA®s a fruity-hot and aromatically spicy taste.

Our sencha tea is sourced from a tea garden run by Hunan Tea Company Limited of China. The tea leaves are picked by small-scale farmers on their organic farms and have an extremely mellow, balanced flavour.
