After a media hiatus following drama with the Royal Family, Meghan Markle’s public presence is back in full swing. The Duchess of Sussex just released the first episode of her lifestyle television show, With Love, Meghan, on Netflix yesterday. And now, Markle announced the first line of products for her lifestyle brand, As Ever.
What is As Ever?
According to its website, As Ever is “a love language” through “a collection of products, each inspired by [Markle’s] long-lasting love of cooking, entertaining, and hostessing with ease.” As Ever’s offerings are meant to make your day just a little better and spark joy.
Markle originally announced that she would be opening her own lifestyle brand back in March 2024. It was supposed to be named American Riviera Orchard, in honor of her current hometown of Santa Barbara, CA. Yet, trademarking issues with the brand’s name stalled its release. Just last month, the former actress broke the news that her brand was now renamed As Ever, and that it was in partnership with Netflix, who is producing With Love, Meghan.
What products are Markle selling?
So far, Markle has teased a line of eight products, ideal for an afternoon tea. Although the exact release date is unknown, everything on As Ever will be available during spring of this year. You can input your email on the As Ever website to receive updates as to when everything comes out. This line can’t be missed!
Wildflower Honey With Honeycomb
Sold in quite the tall jar, this honey would pair well with the teas As Ever will sell to add a bit of sweetness.
Flower Sprinkles
This product appears to be small dried flowers, meant to be used as decoration on baked goods. It would bring a slight floral hint and an interesting texture.
Herbal Hibiscus Tea
This fruity tea is good for tea drinkers who prefer a stronger, more tangy flavor.
Herbal Peppermint Tea
Peppermint is known for its soothing qualities, and is good for your throat.
Herbal Lemon Ginger Tea
Similar to peppermint tea, lemon ginger tea is ideal for when you’re a bit under the weather. Its flavors are reminiscent of springtime and new beginnings.
Raspberry Spread
This jam seems to be As Ever’s proprietary product, as it is offered both normally in a jar or in Keepsake Packaging, for Meghan Markle superfans. This sweet, fruity spread is bound to please on a croissant or English muffin.
Crepe Mix
This French-style crepe mix makes a good main dish. With a dash of crème fraîche and Markle’s Raspberry Spread, it’ll make a delicate yet delicious crepe.
Shortbread Cookies with Flower Sprinkles
An iconic afternoon tea staple: shortbread cookies are elevated here with a bit of floral flare.
