Fennel Linden Herbal Infusion - Lady Dodo - Teatower

Lady Dodo – Herbal Infusion

It's ten o'clock at night. The day is finally drawing to a close, and you set your book down on the bedside table. In the quiet kitchen, the kettle sings softly. Lady Dodo awaits you — that faithful ally who transforms every evening's end into a ritual of peace. A few minutes of brewing, and the world slows down.

In the cup, she reveals a golden hue with amber reflections. The fennel brings its warm, aniseed notes, whilst the chamomile imparts its floral sweetness. Orange zest sparkles discreetly, the verbena soothes, and the sweet blackberry leaves envelop everything with botanical tenderness. Each sip is an invitation to let go.

Why she's called Lady Dodo

Because it'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 rating of 4.64/5, it's one of Teatower's most beloved infusions. And the most reordered in the literal sense — those who taste it invariably come back for more.

The benefits of natural sleep

Fennel aids digestion (a calm tummy = deeper sleep). Linden has been used since Antiquity 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.

Food pairings

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

Ingredients

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

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.
