Apple Cider Vinegar – 500mls
Wildcrafter Apple Cider Vinegar is both ‘raw’ and ‘pure’. It is un-pasteurised which means it has not been heat treated. Many of the vinegars which you will find in health shops today have been pasteurised and filtered; a process which essentially kills and removes the health promoting living enzymes that float within the vinegar.
Our vinegar contains the all-important ‘mother’ which rests on top of the liquid as it ferments in large oak barrels. The wooden barrels add to the ‘tartness’ and give the vinegar a better and higher quality flavour. Our apples are grown locally and have not been sprayed with harmful chemicals and pesticides. There are no preservatives added to the product at any time, so it is true to say that our Apple Cider Vinegar is raw and pure and fully loaded with goodness.

Raw, unpasteurised and unfiltered containing “The Mother”.

Dried Chamomile Flowers 20g
One of the most widely used herbal teas is chamomile which has a wonderfully mellow sweetness, reminiscent of honey. Whilst chamomile is a delicate, floral herb, it is able to soothe the body and mind from the first sip. Depending on where you get your chamomile tea, you may also be able to detect subtle apple tones too.
With regards to health, chamomile offers a range of body support, from its ability to reduce inflammation, promote sleep and treat cold symptoms to helping lower blood sugar and control diabetes. It truly is a multi-purpose herb that is also known to reduce menstrual pain and believed by some to be able to treat cancer symptoms and slow down the onset of osteoporosis.

Dried Elderflowers 20g
Elderflower tea HAS a distinctly ‘herby’ flavour, as you might expect from edible flowers. However, elderflower tea is sweeter than other floral teas and it also comes with a slightly musky tone. In terms of taste, it’s quite a lot like lychees, with a crisp finish that does much to cleanse the palate.
In addition to its pleasant flavour, elderflower tea is also known to provide a variety of health benefits. For those with colds and flu, it’s an intensely soothing drink that calms the sinuses and bronchial airways. Elderflower tea is also believed to be effective in the treatment of constipation, as well as being a powerful diuretic. Like so many other herbal teas, it’s one that provides great support to the body

Dried Lavender 20g
Lavender tea offers an intense flavour with deeply fragranced aromas. Offering hints of mint and rosemary, there are some blends out there that offer a smoky flavour, whereas most tend to be sweet and floral. It is a drink that has the inimitable taste of lavender, but with added earthy flavours similar to those you’d find in a cup of green tea.
Lavender is a great evening beverage, preparing the mind and body for sleep, however, its calming effects aren’t limited to rest. It’s also able to reduce gastrointestinal issues like nausea, vomiting and bloating, in addition to alleviating pain from sores, toothache, sprains and headaches

Dried Lemon Balm 20g

Like so many other types of herbal tea, lemon balm tea is able to reduce anxiety, boost cognitive performance, relieve indigestion and other gastric disorders, help with insomnia and even prevent cold sores.

Dried Linden Flowers (Lime) 20g
Dried Linden Leaf
Despite carrying the name of lime blossom, lime blossom tea tastes nothing like the small citrus fruit it shares its name with. In truth, lime blossom herbal tea has a strong, pleasant, sweet taste. Lime blossom flowers produce a sweet sticky substance, which bees adore and make the most wonderful honey with. It is because of this that you can drink lime blossom tea without any additional sweeteners
Lime blossom tea is rich in antioxidants, as well as anti-inflammatory compounds that are great for reducing the symptoms of colds and flu. There’s nothing worse than inflamed sinuses and sore throats to make you feel rotten. As well as being a wonderfully warming sweet treat, lime blossom tea does much to ease the effect of these uncomfortable symptoms: just like a “hug in a mug”.
