These unique blends are all handcrafted using quality ingredients without fillers.
I’ve been staying hydrated and keeping my taste buds engaged with an abundance of herbal teas (a.k.a. tisanes) for years. After recently discovering an allergy to fragrance compounds (which I now know are added, quite unnecessarily, to many store-bought teas), I decided to start making my own! Everything here is handmade and free of caffeine and unidentified flavors or colors. All blends are inspired by my own memories, something from film/literature, or a previous favorite I’m no longer able to drink.
Available in small (8 oz.), medium (16 oz.), and large (24 oz.) sizes, each serving is strong enough to last you through about two refills. Ask me about samples!
ALLERGEN WARNING: All teas are made small-batch using my own measuring spoons and mortar and pestle. Allergen cross-contamination is difficult to avoid. Please ask me if you have any specific allergies.
