The Only Way to be Sure (Organic Roasted Mate and Guarana)

The Only Way to Be Sure came to be because one of the primary ways in which I show care and concern is through tea. I think everyone who creates things has a tendency to lean into their loves and masteries when trying to express love or care or concern Continue Reading →

Meditation Mint (Green Tea, Lemongrass, Peppermint)

Tea was a regular part of my life long before I started making it, and there had been a handful of regulars stocked in the pantry. Once I started making my own tea, I created more personalized versions of the things that had been standard. Meditation Mint was a special Continue Reading →

Ealing’s Ladies (Baker Street Blend and Lavender)

There are times when the story of a tea is long and involved and other times when it is short, sweet, and mostly about a flavour idea popping into my mind basically fully formed. When Baker Street Blend was first named and the concept of the Tea Series first appeared, Continue Reading →

Monster Slayer (Mimic) (Organic Guarana, Lemon Peel, Eleuthro, and Alfalfa)

Sometimes this is a new type of tea, sometimes it is a fruit I am curious about, sometimes it is an herb Continue Reading →

This tea was inspired by some of what occurs in season 4 of The Magicians. That means this tea story comes with a trio of disclaimers. One, it is potentially a bit spoilery, though I will try to keep the exact details to a minimum. Two, for reasons that will Continue Reading →

Fire in the Sky (Organic Smoky Elderberry Herbal Chai)

I love the tea of the month club. This is a thing that is likely painfully clear if you’ve been with me on this tea journey for any length of time. I love curating the selections, I love all the ideas that have been inspired by the surveys, I love Continue Reading →

Sorry I Stabbed You… …Again (Organic Earl Grey, Red Rooibos, Lavender, and Hibiscus) (3-150a)

The story of Sorry I Stabbed You… …Again is deeply connected to the stories of Sorry I Stabbed You and Rise Up. In fact, much of its story has already been told as a part of the explanation for Rise Up. Tea Naming conversations, wherever they end up happening, often Continue Reading →
