Combining tradition and science to create natural and effective remedies.
This tea is another first for us. Mister Tea made the first test batch. This is his first tasty tea creation. I’d had a truly terrible day. The sort of day that is made of so much pain and angst and misery that there’s not enough processing left for anything Continue Reading →
Back in the early days of Desert Sage Natural, we made ‘Beauxbaton’s Blend‘ – and the thought occurred at the time that we should make teas for the Hogwarts houses, as well as for Durmstrang. It got added to the burgeoning tea ideas file and… sat there. For a really Continue Reading →
One of the things that happens to the people in my physical reality is expressions of my Mama Bear streak. (Admittedly, I say streak, Mister Tea would probably use a different word. In fact, I can hear him ranting in my head as I type this.) This means I sort Continue Reading →
The concept of this tea has been around for quite a while. It had been suggested that one of the obvious things that we lacked was a take on a ‘Cream Earl Grey.’ I put it onto the “work these up at some point” list, and it promptly disappeared into Continue Reading →

(She wasn’t aggressive, Continue Reading →
‘Ent Draught’ was sparked by a couple of things. One of them was my desire to pair elderberries with as many different foundational taste elements as I have access to. Not only are they one of my favorite fruits, they are quite good for you, on a variety of levels. Continue Reading →
When I created ‘Ravensong,’ the first of the teas made due to the encouragement of friends to turn my skills to a wee bit of self-care, I knew that I would need to make an herbal version. I drink entirely too much caffeine, and one of the ways to start Continue Reading →
‘Ravensong’ is one of a pair of teas that were the result of the loving exhortations of a couple of friends of mine. It was pointed out that I spend a lot of time and energy taking care of other people, and helping them as much as I can, but…. Continue Reading →
