Winter Joy – Organic Herbal Winter Tea
A gentle blend for a winter tea ritual offering warming spices and a moment of tranquility. Loose leaf form provides fuller taste and aroma and avoids plastic bags – nothing extra leaches into your cup.
The composition includes honeybush, apple, a pinch of Ceylon cinnamon and cloves, complemented by naturally sweet lucuma, dates, and forest fruit leaves with strawberries. The taste is rounded, winter-spiced with a subtle fruity finish – ideal for cold days.
Honeybush is naturally caffeine-free and gives the infusion a honey-like gentle character. Lucuma adds natural sweetness with a caramel-maple tone and contributes to a creamy round impression in the cup; it is dried and ground fruit pulp with fiber and natural carotenoids. Spices (cinnamon, cloves) add warmth, and fruit completes the pleasant freshness.
The blend is hand-mixed to preserve freshness; quality meets EU organic standards and is based on a straightforward, clean composition. Suitable for daily and evening drinking – pure, with a drop of honey or as a lightly chilled winter drink.
Did you know?
According to a recent review in the journal Food Chemistry, plastic tea bags are the largest source of micro- and nanoplastics in tea.
In a laboratory test, one such bag released approximately 11.6 billion microplastics and 3.1 billion nanoplastics; therefore, it makes sense to opt for loose tea or plastic-free bags.
*Analogy: The company Madn mitigates this risk by preferring loose teas made from organic ingredients hand-mixed to order – simply prepare them in a strainer or pot without a plastic bag.

How did this story begin?
Behind the Madn brand is founder Naina Madan, who wanted to bring joy and simple rituals into everyday cups. This led to the creation of handcrafted organic loose teas designed for specific moments of the day – with an emphasis on pure taste and understandable preparation.
The blends are based on family recipes and work with herbs and spices, carefully tuned to a balanced taste and aroma.
The inspiration is the founder's childhood; from these experiences came, among other things, the Elixir collection and an approach that puts quality first. Madn sees tea as a shared moment with family and friends and continues the tradition of the chai ritual.
The brand prioritizes loose teas and principles of sustainability (reuse, waste reduction, recycling), and its blends are certified organic according to EU rules.

Apple
What it is: Dried pieces of pulp with a slightly sweet and sour, juicy taste.

FAQ
Is Winter tea caffeine-free?
Yes. The base is honeybush, which is naturally caffeine-free – making it suitable for daily and evening drinking.
What is the composition and taste?
The blend combines apple, honeybush, gentle Ceylon cinnamon, and clove with the natural sweetness of lucuma and dates, complemented by berry leaves and strawberries. The taste is warmly spiced, fruity, and slightly sweet.
How to properly prepare the tea?
We recommend about 1–1.5 teaspoons per 180–250 ml of water at a temperature of 95–100 °C, 5–7 minutes. Honeybush can withstand longer steeping and tastes hot or iced.
What is lucuma and why is it in the blend?
Lucuma is the dried and ground pulp of a South American fruit with a gentle caramel-maple flavor. It adds natural sweetness and fiber, which softens the drink's profile.
Is there a difference between honeybush and rooibos?
Yes. Both originate from South Africa and are caffeine-free, but honeybush usually has an infusion with honeyed sweetness and floral notes; processing and oxidation are similar.
Is the tea suitable for ice or "winter latte"?
Yes. Prepare a more concentrated infusion and quickly chill over ice; for a "winter latte," top up with warmed milk or plant-based drink. Honeybush tastes good hot or cold.
How to store the tea and how long will it stay fresh?
Store in an airtight, opaque container in a cool, dry, and dark place, away from odors. Tea loses aroma over time – for the best experience, consume within a few months.
Is it suitable for children and sensitive individuals?
Honeybush is caffeine-free and often mentioned as suitable for all-day drinking, including for children; always consider individual tolerance and any diets.

Brand sustainability
Why is loose tea a better choice than bagged tea?
Many tea bags contain non-biodegradable microplastics that can leach into the tea when in contact with hot water. In addition, some tea bags undergo a bleaching process using chemicals such as chlorine, which raises concerns about potential health impacts.
The loose tea, untouched by processing, guarantees a natural and intact infusion. Its greater advantage is that you contribute to ecological development through minimal packaging and less waste.
Thanks to its centuries-old tradition and healthy reputation, tea has become an integral part of cultures around the world. Yet the debate over brewing tea bags and loose tea is a crucial factor that many tea enthusiasts often overlook. By choosing loose-leaf tea, you come to terms with both your well-being and the true essence of tea itself.
