Royal Pomander, rooibos tea
red rooibos tea, cinnamon, orange peel, cloves, sarsaparilla
Royal Pomander is our rich, caffeine-free take on orange spice tea. Red rooibos meets warm cinnamon, orange peel, clove, and a dash of sarsaparilla for a smooth and cozy blend. Inspired by spiced pomanders and a hint of royal flair—it’s citrus, spice, and everything nice and makes a wonderful hot or iced tea.
Royal Pomander was our very first truly seasonal tea—crafted with the cozy flavor of classic orange spice tea in mind, and given the Little Woods Herbal twist. Red rooibos sets the foundation, paired with warm cinnamon, zesty orange peel, clove, and a touch of sarsaparilla for depth.
We struggled with the name until Andrea had a flash of inspiration: “What are those oranges with cloves stuck in them called? Pomanders!” she exclaimed. And just like that, the name clicked. But this wasn’t just any orange spice blend—it was bold, elegant, and too delicious for anything less than royal.
This blend brews beautifully hot or iced, and is a staff favorite during the colder months. Think mulled cider meets rich rooibos—caffeine-free and perfectly spiced.
So if it was one of our first seasonal teas why is it available year round? Because when owner/founder Kristin told her mom, her mom said "don't you dare! That's my favorite tea no matter the weather!" And it turns out she wasn't the only one and now it's included in our year round signature collection. Turn out Moms have sway!
