Combining tradition and science to create natural and effective remedies.
One of the things that Mister Tea and I have had to weather in our relationship is the harsh and brutal reality of the word ‘degenerative.’ When we first met I was relatively capable physically. We used to take long rambling walks around the city, discovering new things, perusing thrift Continue Reading →
When we first set out to create “The Smoking Gun,” which is the blend used as the foundation of this tea – we were worried that it might end up being a little too weird. It doesn’t necessarily make sense that this sort of worry still happens, as we have Continue Reading →
