AFTER

After-Meal Digestive Support

For those midlife days when a perfectly normal meal suddenly leaves you feeling far more full and uncomfortable than it used to.

You finish eating and instead of simply getting on with your evening, your waistband feels tighter. Your stomach feels heavy. Maybe you're unbuttoning your jeans on the sofa or wondering why a meal you used to eat without thinking now seems to sit differently.

And sometimes you don't want another supplement, digestive powder or complicated routine.

You just want something simple to reach for after food.

AFTER was created for exactly that moment.

A naturally caffeine-free loose-leaf infusion built around fennel, dandelion root and peppermint, with chamomile, yarrow, ginger and orange peel.

It's aromatic, minty and gently warming, with a subtle bitter edge from the roots and herbs.

Minty • Aromatic • Warming • Gently Bitter

Does this sound familiar?

AFTER may be for you if you:

• regularly finish a meal feeling heavier or more uncomfortable than you'd like;
• notice that your stomach seems to feel fuller or more bloated as the day goes on;
• find yourself wanting something light and herbal after dinner rather than another sweet drink;
• enjoy mint, fennel and ginger and prefer a more traditional herbal flavour;
• want a simple after-meal ritual that fits naturally into your day.

Instead of another complicated thing to remember:

Finish your meal. Put the kettle on.

Why I created AFTER

Digestive changes come up surprisingly often when I talk to women in midlife.

It's not always dramatic.

Sometimes it's simply:

“I never used to feel like this after eating.”

Feeling overly full. A waistband that becomes increasingly uncomfortable by the evening. Meals seeming to sit differently than they once did.

And while persistent or new digestive symptoms deserve proper attention rather than automatically being blamed on hormones, I wanted the Herbedies collection to include a blend specifically designed around the after-meal moment.

So AFTER is built very differently from the rest of the collection.

Fennel and peppermint give it its fresh, aromatic character. Dandelion root and yarrow bring a more traditional, gently bitter herbal profile, while chamomile softens the cup. Ginger adds warmth and orange peel finishes it with a subtle citrus note.

The result is the blend I'd reach for after a meal rather than before bed or alongside my laptop.

Inside your cup

Fennel seed
The largest part of AFTER, bringing its distinctive aromatic, gently sweet and aniseed-like flavour.

Dandelion root
Adds earthy depth and the subtle bitterness that gives the blend its more traditional herbal character.

Peppermint
Brings freshness and balances the deeper notes of dandelion and yarrow.

Chamomile
Softens the formula with its mellow, slightly sweet floral character.

Yarrow
Adds another layer of traditional herbaceous bitterness and complexity.

Ginger root
Brings gentle warmth and spice to the finished cup.

Orange peel
Adds a subtle citrus note that rounds everything off.

What does AFTER taste like?

AFTER is fresh and aromatic with gentle warmth and a slightly bitter herbal finish.

Fennel gives the first sip a mild aniseed character, while peppermint keeps the blend fresh.

Dandelion and yarrow provide earthy, bitter depth, chamomile softens the stronger herbs, and ginger and orange peel bring warmth and brightness.

If you enjoy traditional herbal teas and want something more complex than plain peppermint, this is the one I'd choose after food.
