Samhain 🎃 Wheel of the Year Blend
Meaning summer’s end, Samhain marks the third and final harvest and the descent into the darker half of the year. Falling between the Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice, it is a liminal point on the Wheel: the growing season has closed, cold days lie ahead, and one cycle gives way to the next.
Often called the Witch’s New Year, Samhain is a festival of endings + beginnings, fire + feasting, remembrance + mystery. Traditionally, it was a time to prepare stores for the coming months, honor the dead and those who came before, and acknowledge the thinning boundary between seen + unseen worlds. Ancient folklore and observances still echo through many Halloween customs today.
This seasonal blend draws that last abundance into a rich cup reminiscent of pumpkin spice. Persimmon and apple bring late-autumn sweetness, while heirloom pumpkin seeds and purple sweet potato lend earthy depth. Cinnamon, nutmeg + clove kindle familiar notes of the season, softened by vanilla bean and marshmallow root. Elderberry and elderflower mingle with rosemary, sage + chrysanthemum, weaving an herbaceous, mysterious character throughout.
The result is fruity, earthy, gently sweet + warmly spiced—a caffeine-free botanical brew with cozy familiarity and a wilder spirit. It tastes of late-season fruits collected before the frost, carved jack-o’-lanterns glowing as beacons, seeds saved for another year, fragrant botanicals beside the sacred hearth, fallen leaves beneath a darkening sky, candles flickering for those remembered + a little old magic stirring in the in-between.
Part of moonmere’s Wheel of the Year Blends, a collection of seasonal botanical infusions inspired by the Wheel of the Year — crafted to honor the shifting rhythms of nature, the turning seasons, ancient festival traditions, and the unique atmosphere and energy of each sacred point on the wheel.

Samhain invites us into the in-between.
The final harvest has been gathered. The growing season has reached its end. The earth turns inward, the nights lengthen, and the wheel arrives at a place that is both ending and beginning—the final spoke of one cycle and the threshold of the next.
This is a time for remembrance, grief, reflection + transformation. To honor ancestors and beloved dead. To acknowledge what has ended without rushing past the loss of it. To look back at the year behind you and recognize what has lived its season, what remains worth preserving, and what is ready to return to the dark.
Samhain reminds us that endings are part of the cycle—not separate from becoming, but necessary to it.
Light a candle. Speak the names of those you remember. Give thanks for what sustained you. Grieve what has been lost. Gather the wisdom of what has passed. Then tend the small flame of what you wish to carry into the next turning of the wheel.
Sip into the Final Harvest:
🎃 On Samhain or Halloween, as one turning of the wheel gives way to another.
🕯️ While remembering ancestors, beloved dead + those who came before.
🍎 While gathering the last fruits, pumpkins, seeds + herbs of autumn.
🔥 Beside a bonfire or hearth as the nights grow longer.
🔮 During divination, card reading, reflection + ritual.
🍂 While honoring something that has ended rather than hurrying toward what comes next.
🌑 When making space for grief, release + transformation.
🕯️ While tending an ancestral altar or lighting a path of candles.
🎃 When you crave the familiar warmth of pumpkin spice in a caffeine-free botanical cup.
🌙 Whenever you want to linger in the mystery + magic of the in-between.

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 7 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.
