Combining tradition and science to create natural and effective remedies.
Elvenguard began as a salute to two of our friends and their relationship. Tea-Ra and Spoonie Doolittle started as voices heard on Twitter, and became treasured friends. When their anniversary came up, I was saddened that we hadn’t known them when their relationship began. I have developed a habit of Continue Reading →
The journey to the realization that we could – and should – offer more tasty blends that did not contain caffeine was a long one. And for that, I feel I should apologize. It started closing on a year ago, when a lovely lady who had been gifted our Tea Continue Reading →
A few weeks back I was settling for my standard attempt at sleep. We’d done most of our nightly rituals, and I was in a pretty standard state for me – fairly solid bodily exhaustion, with brain whirring on about everything from plans for apocalypse options to tea flavours to Continue Reading →
A few weeks back I had mentioned that Mister Tea was shifting schedules at his new job, and that it was going to require some adjustment on the Desert Sage Natural side of things as well. November of last year I had come to the remarkably obvious conclusion that if Continue Reading →
There were many things that came out of the Doom Flu that stole my January and sent me into a catch-up scramble that I haven’t finished with yet. The Shapes of Clouds was one of them. Flus are interesting, and so are the various forms of delirium one can experience Continue Reading →

One of the things that Mister Tea and I have decided to attempt to do is make it so that any flavour set we create that is caffeinated will have a companion tea that is either herbal or actually made with decaffeinated tea. Amusingly, this was actually a decision my Continue Reading →
Solace, and its companion tea – Sanctuary – were born out of a particularly nasty flu that was one of the gifts the holiday season of 2018 gave to me. We’d been out of most of our useful for sick and pain teas when it began, and as I do Continue Reading →
As we sort of dropped off the map for January – other than a somewhat wibbley-intermittently-feverish presence on Twitter – I thought an explanation might be warranted. It all started with our holiday rush last year. Which began sometime in early October. It was pretty impressive. And I enjoyed every Continue Reading →
Licorice Throat Soother was blended because a friend saw our Cinnamon Throat Soother and reacted with dismay that it lacked licorice.
