Combining tradition and science to create natural and effective remedies.
Audio for Entire Page: How do you source and choose your ingredients? We look for organic. We prefer fair trade, when applicable/available. Even when we have to resort to non-organic, we make sure that nothing has been added. We don’t have any “misc” ingredients. What you see, both Continue Reading →
I’ve mentioned a few times in a few places that I love our Tea of the Month Club. There are a number of different reasons for this. Part of it is that I really do enjoy curating the tea selections – especially when our survey has been filled out. There’s Continue Reading →
I decided quite a bit back that we should have a chai for each of our foundational ingredients. The spice combination is a favourite of mine, and in the course of our time as Desert Sage Natural, we’ve learned that it is not uncommon for a person’s tea tastes to Continue Reading →

As has been stated prior, sometimes new tea happens somewhat randomly here. The day the first test blend of this was created had been a pretty bad one for me. By the time Mister Tea got home I could barely form words, the pain was so bad. I certainly had Continue Reading →
