Combining tradition and science to create natural and effective remedies.
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 →
Due to the way we deal with samples and testing, at the end of each year I almost always have partial batches of tea that need to be dealt with. Mister Tea and I consume a lot of tea, and the friends who enter our domicile do help with the Continue Reading →
