Combining tradition and science to create natural and effective remedies.
Pillow Fort was born in frustration, but its creation was the salve to that frustration. Everyone who creates, whether it be tea or physical art or digital art or worlds or poetry or… has had the experience, probably more than once, of someone acting as if they, the creator, has Continue Reading →
Some tea series have specific (and often long) stories for each of the teas made with the initial foundational blend. So far, the Monster Slayer series does not function like that. The primary reason for this is that so many flavour options spun out of the initial conversations that they Continue Reading →
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 →
