Baba Yaga’s Bonefire™ 🦴🔥🌲 Mythica Blend is a deep, warming herbal infusion inspired by Baba Yaga—the ancient and endlessly contradictory figure of Slavic folklore who dwells beyond the familiar world, deep within the forest, in her wandering hut raised upon enormous chicken legs. Witch, grandmother, trickster, devourer, helper, guardian, and initiator, Baba Yaga refuses the simplicity of good or evil. Those who find their way to her threshold may encounter terror or wisdom, ordeal or aid—and sometimes all of them at once.
Across her stories, Baba Yaga belongs to the liminal places: the dark forest, the boundary between civilization and wilderness, the threshold between maiden and crone, life and death, knowing and mystery. She may threaten to consume those who enter her domain, yet she may also provide exactly the knowledge, fire, or magical gift the seeker needs. Her help is rarely gentle and never freely given. She asks something of those who approach her: courage, discernment, intuition, persistence, respect, and the willingness to face what cannot simply be wished away.
Red rooibos and earthy ancient forest tea form the glowing heart of the blend, wrapped in cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, turmeric, and roasted barley for a warm, smoldering depth. Caraway and poppy seed lend an old-world, hearthside character, while elderflower and cornsilk bring softer threads through the fire. Sage, rosemary, thyme, and marjoram gather like wild herbs hanging from the rafters of a woodland hut, while hops and a forest of lion’s mane, reishi, cordyceps, chaga, and shiitake mushrooms deepen the cup with an earthy, mysterious finish.
The flavor begins warm, spiced, and gently roasted, unfolding into savory woodland herbs, subtle floral sweetness, and deep forest earthiness before settling into a lingering, fireside warmth. Strange yet familiar, comforting yet untamed, Baba Yaga’s Bonefire™ honors the wisdom found beyond the well-lit path—the kind that asks us to sit beside what frightens us long enough to discover what it has come to teach.
Baba Yaga reminds us that darkness is not merely the absence of light. It is part of the cycle: the forest floor where old things decay into nourishment, the winter before spring, the fire that transforms what it touches. Her bonefire burns at the threshold, illuminating what is ready to be released and what remains when everything unnecessary has fallen away.

Baba Yaga’s Bonefire™ is a tea for thresholds—for the strange stretches of life when an old self, season, certainty, or way of being has ended, but whatever comes next has not yet fully revealed itself. Inspired by Baba Yaga’s place at the edges of the wild and the unknown, this blend honors transformation that does not rush past darkness in search of an easy rebirth.
Drink it when you need the courage to enter your own metaphorical forest and listen closely to what you find there. Baba Yaga does not promise comfort, but she does offer the possibility of wisdom. Her stories remind us to trust intuition alongside reason, to distinguish what nourishes from what must be discarded, to establish boundaries and keep them, and to recognize that becoming more fully ourselves sometimes requires allowing an old version of ourselves to end.
The Bonefire is a place to sit with both truths at once: grief and hope, endings and beginnings, fear and curiosity, destruction and creation. Let each sip be a small fire at the forest threshold—a reminder that you do not have to illuminate the entire path. Sometimes you need only enough light to see what is immediately before you.

Find the cup of tea that feels like yours—everyone prefers a different balance of softness and boldness, so play and explore.
Steep 1 heaping teaspoon of tea, covered, in 6–8 oz of boiled water for about 6 minutes. For a stronger cup, steep a little longer or use more tea; for a lighter infusion, reduce the steeping time or amount. Every palate is different, so we encourage you to adjust the brew to your personal taste.
Use a fine tea sock or once steeped, strain through a fine mesh strainer, as some botanicals in our blends are intentionally very small and may pass through larger strainers.
For iced tea, prepare the tea as directed above, then chill to your desired temperature before serving to avoid diluting the flavor with melting ice. If you'd prefer to pour the tea directly over ice, brew it stronger by using more tea, steeping it a little longer, or both, to account for the dilution.
Before measuring your tea, gently shake the pouch. Because our blends contain herbs, flowers, fruits, roots, and spices of varying sizes and weights, ingredients may naturally settle during shipping and storage.
To preserve freshness and flavor, store your tea in a cool, dark, dry place, away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.
For the brightest aroma and flavor, we recommend enjoying your tea by the date on the compostable package.
