Meghan Markle's First As Ever Product Is Literally Tea
Is this royals shade?
Before Meghan Markle was a member of the British Royal Family, she had a lifestyle blog called The Tig. Now, in her post-royal era, Meghan Markle has As Ever, another lifestyle brand with a new name, which she says is sort of an extension of the blog.
As Ever, previously called American Riviera Orchard, famously started with jams, and now, it's evolved into a whole tea time line. Here is everything we know.
What is Meghan Markleâs lifestyle brand called?
When Meghan took to Instagram in March of 2024 to announce the new brand, it was called American Riviera Orchard. And the first thing that American Riviera Orchard produced was a line of fruit jams that Meghan apparently distributed amongst her friends. But, as of February 18, the brand has a new name, As Ever, which Meghan announced in a new Instagram post.

What does As Ever actually mean?
It means what it says, really.
âLast year I had thought, âAmerican Riviera, that sounds like such a great name,ââ the duchess said in her video. âItâs my neighborhood; itâs a nickname for Santa Barbara, but it limited me to things that were just manufactured and grown in this area.â She continued, adding that Netflix has since come on as a business partner, that sheâd decided to give the brand a name sheâd secured in 2022, As Ever. âAs Ever essentially means as itâs always been, and if youâve followed me since 2014 with The Tig, you know Iâve always loved cooking and crafting and gardeningâthis is what I do,â she said.

Is there an As Ever website?
There is an As Ever website! As of March 4, it features beautiful pictures of all the upcoming products, which will be available some unspecified time in the Spring. The website doesn't yet let you purchase, but it does let you sign up to receive updates.

What actually is As Ever?
Well, itâs more than just a blog, and itâs also more than just jam. In her February 18 Instagram caption, Meghan writes, âThis new chapter is an extension of what has always been my love language, beautifully weaving together everything I cherishâfood, gardening, entertaining, thoughtful living, and finding joy in the everyday.â And she says in her video that there will still be fruit preserves because âI think weâre all clear at this point that jam is my jam.â But there will also be many more products that Meghan personally loves and uses in her home.
What are the As Ever products?
On March 4, the same day her Netflix show debuted, Markle (who now goes by Meghan Sussex, as the rebrands continue) announced the first line-up of products, and they areâ¦well, they're not not kinda British-coded. They are: raspberry spread (a.k.a. jam), wildflower honey, flower sprinkles, a cookie mix, a crepe mix and three flavors of tea.
