Made in the canton of Vaud, this loose-leaf herbal tea combines lemon balm, chamomile, lavender, hops, mallow and yarrow into a soft, aromatic blend with a light sweetness combined to citrus, floral and herbal notes. Developed in collaboration with herbalist Marion Beetschen from Arcadia, it was created as a naturally caffeine-free evening infusion, designed to accompany moments of rest and help ease the transition from day to night, with a special focus on pregnancy and breastfeeding while remaining enjoyable for everyone.

Rather than following a single traditional recipe, we worked closely with Arcadia to select each plant for its traditional use, flavour and the role it plays within the blend. Through many tastings and adjustments, we created a balanced herbal tea where every ingredient contributes to both the flavour and the overall character of the infusion.

Arcadia cultivates Bio Suisse-certified aromatic and medicinal plants in Fontaines-sur-Grandson, at the foot of the Vaud Jura. Inspired by agroforestry, the plants grow among high-stem fruit trees, where biodiversity and healthy soils are encouraged through natural processes. Every plant is harvested by hand at the ideal moment, then dried gently on site at low temperatures to preserve its aroma, colour and natural qualities. The blends created for Maison Myrthus are the result of many conversations, tastings and adjustments carried out together with herbalist Marion Beetschen until each plant found its place in the final recipe.
