Combining tradition and science to create natural and effective remedies.
As it turns out, my worries back in March that I had set too ambitious a goal for the Soft Reopen were true. This does not change the fact that May ended up feeling rather glorious. Short version of May: I reopened the shop, there were some proper tea reintroductions, Continue Reading →
Sometimes polls are involved in the creation of tea. They can cover anything from “Help me pick a journal page to work up” to “What should I add to the toolbox?” to “I want to make something with this foundation, help me pick which idea to pursue” to “Let’s build Continue Reading →
