Picard’s Foglifter (Organic Earl Grey Chai)
At some point in May of 2019, a realization struck. I had many chais, but despite the intersection of a love of chai and a fondness for Earl Grey, I hadn’t combined the two. I dug through the tea journals. I went through the piles of tea ideas that hadn’t Continue Reading →
Traveller’s Porridge (Organic Elderberry Genmai)
This tea began in a rare place. The seeds of it came from the sense of being listened to – but not in the moment. This was a circumstance where I felt like I had been listened to in a prior life-frame and that things I had said had trickled Continue Reading →
