LUMI – The Morning Herbal Botanical Infusion

If Luna is the tea that closes your day, this is the one that opens it. Bright, light, and genuinely caffeine-free, built the same way — real ingredients, nothing added to fake the flavor.

This is the cup for softer mornings, slower afternoons, and those quiet moments when you want something warm, bright, and grounding. Lemon Glow Rooibos brings together naturally caffeine-free rooibos with apple, aronia berry, white berry, chamomile, and dandelion leaf for a fresh botanical infusion with a gentle citrusy glow.

What's In It

A caffeine-free rooibos base, brightened with lemongrass and apple, deepened with aronia berry and white mulberry for natural sweetness and color, softened with chamomile, and rounded out with dandelion leaf. No added sugar, no natural or artificial flavoring — the citrus brightness comes from real lemongrass, not a flavor extract sprayed on afterward.

Why It Works

Lemongrass and apple give this blend its lift — a clean, citrusy, slightly grassy brightness that doesn't need sugar to feel bright. Lemongrass has long been part of herbal tradition as a relaxing cup after a meal, and it brings its own antioxidant compounds to the cup on top of the flavor it adds. Aronia berry is one of the most antioxidant-dense fruits used in herbal blends, and it's also where most of the deep color in the cup comes from. White mulberry adds a natural, honeyed sweetness without a grain of added sugar. Chamomile softens the whole cup with a gentle floral note and takes the edge off, rather than adding stimulation the way caffeine would. Dandelion leaf is a traditional herbal favorite, reached for generations as a gentle, everyday addition to a relaxing routine — the kind of ingredient herbalists have turned to long before "detox" became a marketing word.

Between the lemongrass and the dandelion leaf, this is a genuinely relaxing blend to sit with after a meal, not just a bright way to start the day.

Together, it's a caffeine-free infusion that feels bright and alive without asking your nervous system to work for it — a genuine alternative to a morning coffee or black tea on days you want the ritual without the jolt.

Naturally Gentle, On Purpose

Like everything we make, there's no added sugar, no natural or artificial flavoring, and no filler. What's in the sachet is what ends up in your cup — real lemongrass, real apple, real aronia, real chamomile, real dandelion leaf, nothing sprayed on and nothing added back in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this tea caffeine-free? Yes. The base is rooibos, which is naturally caffeine-free, not decaffeinated — it never contained caffeine to begin with. It's a genuine alternative to your morning coffee or black tea if you're looking to cut caffeine without losing the ritual.

Does it actually taste like lemongrass, or is that just the name? It genuinely does, because it's made with real lemongrass rather than a lemon flavor extract. The citrus note is lighter and grassier than a lemon-flavored tea, and a touch more subtle — it's lemongrass as an ingredient, not lemon as a flavoring agent.

What does dandelion leaf actually do in this blend? Dandelion leaf is a traditional herbal favorite, part of herbal practice for generations as a gentle, everyday addition to a relaxing routine. It's a mild, grounding addition rather than the star of the blend, working quietly alongside the brighter citrus and berry notes.

Why lemongrass specifically? Lemongrass has long been part of herbal tradition as a relaxing cup, often enjoyed after a meal. Combined with dandelion leaf, this blend leans into that same relaxing, settling quality, not just a bright morning flavor.

Is this a morning tea or can I drink it anytime? It's built to feel bright and gentle rather than sedating, which makes it a natural morning or daytime choice — but because it's caffeine-free, there's no reason you couldn't drink it any time of day without it affecting your sleep.

How is Lumi different from Luna? Luna is built for evenings, with tart cherry, black mulberry, and goji chosen for their naturally occurring melatonin and calming properties. Lumi is built for daytime — brighter, citrus-forward, and energizing in feel rather than sedating, though both share the same caffeine-free rooibos base and the same no-added-flavor approach.

Why is it naturally sweet without any added sugar? White mulberry contributes a genuine, natural sweetness on its own, and the ripe aronia and apple add depth without needing sugar or sweetener to round out the cup. Nothing here is added to mask or boost the flavor — the sweetness comes from the ingredients themselves.
