Celery seed
Apium graveolens
Tiny khaki-brown seeds, fine as sand, with a concentrated, savoury celery aroma. A small pinch adds a warm, slightly bitter herbal note to earthy root blends.

Why we love celery seed
A savoury surprise
Celery seed brings a warm, savoury, slightly bitter note, adding depth to blends built on turmeric, ginger and roots.
A pinch is plenty
The seeds are tiny but potent, so a small amount flavours a whole pot without taking over.
Naturally caffeine-free
There's no caffeine in celery seed, so it suits a cup at any hour.
Good to know
Flags: Not pregnancy-friendly.
Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding without advice from your healthcare professional.
Wild celery grows in the salt marshes of the Mediterranean, and victors at the ancient Nemean Games were crowned with its leaves. The seed of the cultivated plant has flavoured pickles, breads and spice mixes ever since, and India now grows most of the world's supply. In tea it is used sparingly, a pinch at a time.
