Fennel linden herbal infusion - Lady Dodo - Teatower

Lady Dodo – Herbal Infusion

It's ten o'clock at night. The day is finally coming to an end, and you place your book on the bedside table. In the silent kitchen, the kettle sings softly. Lady Dodo awaits you — this faithful companion who transforms every evening into a ritual of peace. A few minutes of steeping, and the world slows down.

In the cup, she reveals a golden liquor with amber highlights. Fennel brings its warm, aniseed notes, while chamomile distills its floral gentleness. Orange zest sparkles discretely, verbena soothes, and sweet blackberry leaves envelop everything in botanical tenderness. Each sip is an invitation to let go.

Why she's called Lady Dodo

Because that's the nickname our customers gave her. "My evening Lady Dodo", "without my Dodo I can't sleep", "Lady Dodo is my best friend". With 72 reviews and a 4.64/5 rating, she's one of Teatower's most beloved infusions. And the most re-ordered in the literal sense — those who taste her systematically come back.

The benefits of natural sleep

Fennel aids digestion (a soothed stomach = deeper sleep). Linden has been used since ancient times for its gentle sedative properties. Chamomile reduces anxiety and prepares the body for rest. And verbena completes the trio with its ability to release nervous tension. It's not a sleeping pill — it's a transition ritual between day and night.

Gourmet pairings

Sublime with a square of milk chocolate (sweetness upon sweetness), a vanilla biscuit, or simply on its own — it needs nothing else. Avoid strong flavors that would mask its delicacy.

Ingredients

Fennel seeds (20.5%), orange zest, verbena, sweet blackberry leaves, chamomile (10.5%), natural flavor.

Did you know? Fennel was considered sacred in ancient Greece. Its Greek name — "marathon" — gave its name to the famous battle and race, because the Marathon plain was covered with wild fennel.
