Heirloom Botanicals
Rose petals by way of a 1954 kitchen diary, chamomile from the back garden, and an Earl Grey that behaves beautifully — even around the good rug.
Small-batch · Hand-tied · Est. 2019
Grandma's parlor, minus the dust.
Heirloom tea blends drawn straight from Nana's recipe tin — rose confections, brisk breakfast classics, garden chamomile — knotted by hand and posted in keepsake tins.
The Parlour Standard
Every tin is blended, tied, and tucked the way the good china deserved — with lace-trimmed patience.
Hand-Tied in Muslin
Each sachet is measured with a sewing-room spoon, knotted with baker's twine, and sealed with wax. No dust, all keepsake.
Steeped in Story
Every blend ships with a provenance card — who grew it, who dried it, and which grandmother's handwriting graces the tin.
From Pantry to Parlour
Three small ceremonies between you and a properly steeped cup.
Pick Your Pour
Tell us your palate in a two-minute parlour chat — brisk and bracing, or soft and floral as a Sunday tablecloth.
We Tie It by Hand
Our blenders measure, fold, and knot each muslin sachet on Tuesdays, then tuck in a hand-written steeping note.
Steep and Remember
A keepsake tin arrives with provenance cards, a ditsy-print coaster, and instructions even Uncle Ray could follow.
Word from the Front Parlour
Letters we've pressed into the scrapbook, shared with permission.
Rated 5 out of 5
"Grandmother's chamomile was a family secret for sixty years. They reverse-engineered it from one stained index card. I cried into a perfectly steeped cup."
Rated 5 out of 5
"The tin is so lovely I now use it for buttons. The tea inside was even better than the packaging, which is frankly rude."
Rated 5 out of 5
"I subscribed for the wax seals and stayed for the Rose Ruffle. My book club now fights over who hosts."

Parlour Questions
Everything the front parlour gets asked, answered in one sitting.
How fresh are the blends when they arrive?
We blend in forty-tin lots every Tuesday and post within two days, so your leaves are never more than a fortnight from the workroom table. Every tin is dated in ink, like a good letter.
Can I gift a subscription?
Gladly — every parcel ships with a blank provenance card and a wax-seal kit so your handwriting does the gifting. Add a note at checkout and we'll tie it with ribbon.
What if I dislike a blend?
Send one polite note and we'll swap next month's blend, no questions and no phone trees. Our blender answers letters personally, usually within a day.
Do you offer caffeine-free options?
Our chamomile and rooibos blends are naturally caffeine-free, and the Rose Ruffle is pleasingly low. Each tin card lists caffeine by the teaspoon, in Nana's own format.
