$7.5 $15 In stock

Key lime pie in a cup, tart and creamy-sweet in flavor with no fork required. Brew it hot for a bright dessert-like tea, or chill a strong batch over ice for a tart citrus cooler on a warm day.

This caffeine-free infusion pairs a natural key lime pie flavor with hibiscus and rosehip tartness, rounded by dried apple and orange peel. It steeps a deep pink and drinks tangy and citrus-forward, with a soft sweet-pie note on the finish.

We blend and pack in small batches in Portland so the citrus and petals stay lively in the tin. Blended from hibiscus, dried apple, rosehip, orange peel, and natural key lime pie flavor. Caffeine-free. No sugar, no preservatives. Vegan.

How do I brew it?
Use one teaspoon per eight fluid ounces of water. Bring fresh water to a boil (212°F), pour it over the tea, and steep for five to ten minutes to taste.

The lime or tartness feels too strong. What helps?
Hibiscus and key lime both read sharp when the brew is concentrated. Steep toward five minutes, add a little honey, or serve it over ice to soften the edge.

Does it have caffeine?
No. The base is herbal (hibiscus, rosehip, apple, and orange peel), so it is caffeine-free and easy to drink late in the day.

How do I make it iced?
Brew it double strength, chill it, and pour over ice for a tart, dessert-like citrus cooler.

Steven ★★★★★

Brewed a strong batch and poured it over ice this afternoon—the tartness is bright enough to wake you up, but that creamy-sweet finish keeps it from being too sharp. No fork needed is exactly right, it's like dessert in a mug without the hassle.

Lily ★★★★★

The tartness really comes through whether I brew it hot or chill it for an iced drink—both ways hit that key lime pie vibe perfectly. The no-fork-needed cup makes it stupidly easy to enjoy at my desk, and the creamy-sweet finish keeps me coming back for another mug.

Matthew F. ★★★★★

I was skeptical about “pie in a cup” but brewed a hot mug this morning and the tart lime really does come through with that creamy-sweet finish. Even better, I chilled the leftovers over ice and it turned into a surprisingly refreshing citrus cooler—totally worth the extra steep time.
