Savor the Campfire in a Cup: The Republic of Tea's New S'mores Herbal Tea
There’s something undeniably magical about the classic s’mores experience—gooey marshmallows, melted chocolate, and crispy graham crackers, all roasted to perfection over a roaring campfire. Now, The Republic of Tea is bringing that nostalgic, fireside indulgence straight to your teacup with the launch of our newest blend: S’mores Herbal Tea.
This naturally low caffeine tea is a cozy, dessert-inspired treat that transforms the comforting essence of s’mores into a wholesome, feel-good sip. Whether you're unwinding after a long day, hosting a gathering, or just craving a nostalgic treat, this s’mores drink is your go-to companion.
A Modern Take on a Timeless Treat
Before we dive into the ingredients, let’s appreciate the origin of the beloved s’mores. The term first appeared in the 1927 Girl Scouts handbook Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts, believed to be a contraction of “some more,” which is fitting — after one bite (or sip), you will definitely want more.
Traditionally a treat enjoyed around the campfire, s’mores have evolved into a cultural icon, inspiring everything from ice creams to cocktails. Now, we proudly add s’mores tea to the list.
The Art of the Blend
Our S’mores Herbal Tea is more than just a nostalgic flavor — it’s a thoughtfully crafted wellness blend. Let’s take a closer look at two of its standout ingredients:
Organic Carob: A Naturally Sweet Delight
Organic carob is a naturally sweet, chocolate-like ingredient derived from the pods of the Mediterranean carob tree. Often used as a cocoa substitute, carob has a rich, roasted flavor with subtle notes of caramel and earthiness. Unlike chocolate, it’s naturally caffeine-free, making it perfect for a nighttime s’mores drink.
Carob is also a source of antioxidants, and contains essential nutrients like calcium, potassium, and magnesium. It brings a deep, roasted sweetness to the blend that complements the marshmallow and graham cracker essence beautifully — without added sugar or artificial flavors.
Roasted Dandelion Root: Earthy and Balancing
Next up is roasted dandelion, specifically in the form of roasted dandelion root tea. While often dismissed as a backyard weed, dandelion root has long been celebrated in herbal medicine for its detoxifying and digestive benefits. When roasted, the root takes on a nutty, coffee-like flavor that adds boldness and balance to the blend.
This ingredient helps ground the sweet notes of marshmallow and carob, adding depth and complexity that elevates this camping tea to a whole new level. It’s rich, bold, and just slightly bitter — perfect for mimicking the charred edge of a fire-roasted marshmallow.
The Full Flavor Experience
Each sip of S’mores Herbal Tea is a journey: the warm chocolatey notes of organic carob, the deep earthiness of roasted dandelion, and subtle hints of vanilla and cinnamon that echo the flavors of graham cracker and melted marshmallow. And of course, this blend has low caffeine, and is free of sugar, and gluten, making it a guilt-free indulgence.
The tea steeps into a toasty brown liquor with an inviting aroma — imagine a marshmallow melting over a fire with a whisper of graham cracker and a kiss of dark cocoa.
How to Enjoy
