What ingredients give this tea its specific herbal and spicy character, and are they natural?

This blend distinguishes itself from standard black teas through the inclusion of specific aromatic botanicals. The base consists of a black tea blend sourced from India, Ceylon, Nepal, and China, which provides body and depth. The distinctive herbal character is derived from creeping thyme (Thymus serpyllum), which contributes naturally occurring essential oil components like thymol and carvacrol. These compounds create a recognizable spicy, slightly resinous scent. Additionally, the blend includes Sagan Dailya (Rhododendron adamsii), a traditional mountain plant known in Siberian, Buryatian, and Mongolian tea traditions. It adds a fresh, camphor-like accent that makes the cup feel more vivid and brisk. The honey note is achieved through natural honey flavouring rather than added sugar, resulting in a sweet-smelling profile that remains unsweetened.
