About us

Traditional Slovak herbal teas, for tea drinkers across the UK

We are a small UK company bringing the Elixir herbal tea range, made by Agrokarpaty in Slovakia, to British kitchens.

Who we are

A UK company with a Central European cupboard

In Slovakia and across Central Europe, herbal tea is an everyday habit: linden blossom when the evenings draw in, chamomile after dinner, a cup of thyme or mallow when the weather turns cold. These are teas people grow up with, and recipes that families have trusted for generations.

Dolche Botanicals makes those teas easy to buy in the UK. We sell the Agrokarpaty Elixir range directly through this website, and also through our Amazon store.

Dolche Botanicals is the trading name of DOLCHE LTD, a company registered in England and Wales.

How we write about herbs

Herbal teas, not medicines

Our teas are sold as food. When we describe a herb, we explain how it has traditionally been used in European herbal practice, and we never claim that a tea treats, cures or prevents any illness. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or have a medical condition, please check with your doctor or pharmacist before trying a new herbal tea.
