Seasonal Ingredients We Love (And How We Use Them in Our Teas)

by Andie |

At Blended by Andie, every tea we create is inspired by the seasons. Just like food, tea ingredients shine brightest when they’re in their natural rhythm—warming spices in winter, bright florals in spring, sun-drenched fruits in summer, and earthy roots in fall. By working with nature instead of against it, we create blends that feel in sync with the time of year, bringing you a deeper connection to every sip.

Here’s a look at some of our favorite seasonal ingredients and how we use them in our teas.

🌸 Spring: Fresh, Floral, and Awakening

Spring is all about renewal—fresh air, blooming flowers, and the first signs of greenery. Our tea blends for this season reflect that sense of lightness and awakening.

Ingredients We Love: Lavender, jasmine, rose petals, spearmint, lemongrass
How We Use Them: A soft floral green tea with jasmine and rose for a delicate lift, or a bright herbal blend with lemongrass and spearmint to wake up the senses.

Spring teas are perfect for easing out of winter’s heavy flavors and into something light, crisp, and full of possibility.

☀️ Summer: Bold, Fruity, and Refreshing

Summer demands vibrant, refreshing flavors—something you can sip over ice, steep into sun tea, or enjoy after a long day in the heat. This is the season of peak fruit, cooling herbs, and teas that are just as energizing as they are thirst-quenching.

Ingredients We Love: Hibiscus, peaches, berries, citrus peels, lemon verbena
How We Use Them: A tart and juicy hibiscus-berry blend that’s naturally cooling, or a citrus-packed green tea with a hint of peach for the ultimate summer refresher.

These blends taste incredible chilled and remind you of the long, sunlit days we wish could last forever.

🍂 Fall: Cozy, Spiced, and Earthy

Fall is when we start craving warmth—rich spices, deeper flavors, and blends that wrap around you like your favorite sweater. This is the time for grounding ingredients that bring a little extra comfort to every cup.

Ingredients We Love: Cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, clove, rooibos, apple
How We Use Them: A spiced rooibos chai with cinnamon and ginger for warmth, or an apple-cinnamon blend that feels like drinking a crisp autumn breeze.

These teas are all about winding down, embracing the shift in seasons, and savoring the cozy moments.

❄️ Winter: Warming, Comforting, and Restorative

Winter calls for deep, rich flavors—teas that warm you from the inside out and bring a sense of calm in the colder months. This is when we lean into roots, spices, and herbal blends that nourish and restore.

Ingredients We Love: Vanilla bean, cacao nibs, turmeric, licorice root, peppermint
How We Use Them: A velvety vanilla-cacao blend that’s like dessert in a cup, or a turmeric-ginger infusion with a touch of licorice root to support wellness.

Winter teas are about slowing down, embracing stillness, and finding warmth in the ritual of a perfectly brewed cup.

Drinking with the Seasons

At Blended by Andie, we love crafting teas that celebrate the natural rhythms of the year. Whether you’re sipping something bright and floral in spring or steeping a spiced blend in fall, our goal is to help you connect with the season through every cup.

Because when tea is made with real, seasonal ingredients, it doesn’t just taste better—it feels right.
