🌿 Ingredient & Allergen Guide
(Volume II: Tea & Pantry)
Last Updated: June 2026
Every blend at Spell & Spoon begins with a simple philosophy:
If it's going into your cup, you deserve to know exactly what's in it.
We believe transparency is part of good craftsmanship. Every tea, cocoa blend, culinary salt, and handcrafted pantry item includes a complete ingredient list so you can shop with confidence.
Whether you're avoiding a specific ingredient, managing allergies, or simply curious about what you're brewing, this guide explains how we source, label, and prepare our products.

Every product page and every package label includes:
• Complete ingredient list
• Net weight

We believe there should never be surprises inside your cup.

🥜 Common Allergens
Although many of our blends do not intentionally contain common food allergens, we prepare our products in a home kitchen.
That means ingredients or equipment may also come into contact with products containing:
-
Wheat
-
Milk
-
Eggs
-
Peanuts
-
Tree Nuts
-
Soy
-
Sesame
-
Fish
-
Shellfish
If a product intentionally contains a major allergen, it will always be identified on its ingredient label.
If you have a severe allergy, we recommend contacting us before placing your order.
🌼 Natural & Artificial Flavoring
Whenever possible, Spell & Spoon prefers ingredients that provide flavor naturally.
Some blends may include:
-
Natural flavoring
-
Artificial flavoring
If either is used, it will always appear on the ingredient list.
We never hide flavorings under vague descriptions.
🌿 Botanical Ingredients
Many herbs have long histories in traditional kitchens and herbal traditions.
However:
Our teas, herbs, cocoa blends, culinary salts, and other products are offered for enjoyment as foods and beverages.
They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.
If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have medical conditions, please consult your healthcare provider before using herbal products.
📦 Freshness & Storage
For the best experience:
-
Store in a cool, dry place.
-
Keep containers tightly sealed.
-
Avoid direct sunlight.
-
Avoid moisture.
-
Use clean, dry scoops.
Most loose-leaf teas maintain excellent flavor for 12–18 months when stored properly.
Aroma naturally softens over time, so we recommend enjoying your blends while they're at their freshest.
🍵 Still Wondering?
If you're unsure whether a blend contains something you're avoiding, we'd much rather answer your question before you order.
Whether you're wondering about caffeine, flavorings, herbs, allergens, or ingredients, we're always happy to help.
