Combining tradition and science to create natural and effective remedies.
‘Cratakardia’ came out of the fact that there’s been quite a bit of stress in our lives of late. Some of it is direct and personal, and some of it falls into the “due to existential dread” category. The exact reasons why aren’t germane to the creation of this tea, Continue Reading →
‘Falkor’s Flight’ was created mostly because I wanted to see if I could. I’d mentioned on Twitter that I needed to slow down on the creation of new teas, because there are only so many that should be in process at any given time. Not an uncommon thing to hear Continue Reading →
