A pretty tin of rose bud infusion for Teapot Tuesday: "This carefully-sourced infusion from The East India Company draws on only the finest rose buds available, resulting in an enchanting variety which will you transport you directly to the awe-inspiring mountains and deserts of its native Iran. After being meticulously dried using only traditional methods, the result is a perfume-like scent which is balanced by the herbal sweetness, guaranteeing the strongest possible taste with every brew." 50g for £40 at Harrods. (Or, for about $9 you can get about 100g of dried organic rose buds on Amazon, without the tin, and without transporting you to awe-inspiring mountains, etc. and etc.)

Dona's Masala Chai Concentrate ("slow steeped with ginger, cinnamon, green cardamom, cloves, black peppercorn, and organic, loose-leaf black tea") is available sweetened or unsweetened, $12 for 473 ml. There's also a Turmeric Concentrate ("a blend of freshly ground turmeric, pink peppercorn, ginger, allspice, lemongrass, and black pepper") for the same price. If anyone has tried them, do comment!
