Chicory and Gardenia Herbal Tea 20 Teabags

Chicory and Gardenia Tea – 20 Bags – A Cooling Herbal Blend

Not every herbal tea needs to be sweet, fruity, or spicy. Some are designed for something else entirely.

This blend is built around cooling herbs – traditionally used in East Asian herbal practices to support the body during warm weather, after rich meals, or when one feels internally overheated.

The six herbs inside each bag:

• Gardenia – The anchor of the blend. Clean, slightly bitter, and traditionally associated with cooling and cleansing.
• Chrysanthemum – Floral, light, and cooling. Often paired with Gardenia in traditional formulas.
• Honeysuckle – Mildly astringent with a delicate floral character. Adds depth.
• Chicory – Roasted, earthy, and slightly coffee-like. Provides body and a smooth finish.
• Licorice – Naturally sweet. Balances the bitterness of Gardenia and Chicory without adding sugar.
• Tangerine Peel – Bright, citrusy, and traditionally used to support digestion.

The taste profile:

Expect a clean, mildly bitter opening from Gardenia and Chicory, followed by floral notes from Chrysanthemum and Honeysuckle. Licorice adds a subtle, lingering sweetness, and Tangerine Peel lifts the entire cup with citrus brightness. This is not a sweet tea – it is a sophisticated, adult herbal blend.

When to drink it:

• After a heavy or oily meal
• During warm weather as a refreshing hot or iced tea
• When you want a caffeine-free alternative to coffee or black tea
• As part of an evening wind-down routine
