Contains licorice root — not recommended in large amounts for people with high blood pressure.

The pepper matters

The small pack of peppercorns in the box isn't a garnish. A pinch of cracked pepper in your cup helps your body absorb the turmeric in the blend. A few cracks per mug is enough.

The teabags are free

Twenty compostable drawstring bags come in the box — enough to brew the whole pouch. Most loose teas make you go buy your own. We don't.

Next off the bench

Buckshot & Gunpowder is the first blend, not the only one planned. Others are being built and tasted now, and each one has to earn its place the same way this one did: brewed, drunk, and adjusted until it's worth selling.

The recipe for this one came together in an unusual way. How this blend was made.
