Dear Tea Lover,
As we round the corner on 2025, I find myself reflecting on what an extraordinary year of transformation we’ve traveled through—together. In our world, in our rituals, in our hearts… so much has shifted. And through it all, tea has remained our anchor, our ceremony, our moment of soul-quieting magic.
This year, we created more blends, rituals, and offerings than ever before—each crafted with intention, love, and reverence for the plants that guide us. And today, I’m sharing my Z List: the teas, tools, and treasures that defined 2025 for me and may just become your favorites too.
Let’s sip our way through the year’s magic…
Angel Aid Flower Frequency Teas
We opened 2025 with a prayer—literally.
The launch of our Angel Aid Flower Frequency Teas carried us through all the angel numbers, offering a collection of fruits, flowers, and potent superfoods designed to elevate frequency and deepen daily ritual.
These magical blends traveled farther than I ever imagined:
-
Into tea ceremonies at the Ritz Carlton Santa Barbara
-
Across the desert at Canyon Ranch Tucson and Lenox
-
And astonishingly… onto the Nile River in Egypt
If there was ever a collection that embodied celestial alignment and earthly beauty, this was it.
Alchemical Element Teas: Earth • Air • Water • Fire
A Journey of Inner Transmutation
Our final four teas for Monthly Magic Members explored the power of the four elements—and the wisdom they awaken within us.
As an herbalist and ceremonial tea blender for 30 years, this collection was an ecstatic creative moment for me. Each blend was crafted to help you shift:
-
from density → to lightness
-
from mental noise → to illumination
-
from overwhelm → to clarity
And because ritual works through both taste and scent, I created matching essential oil perfumes—each aligned with elemental energies to support emotional and energetic healing.
These became some of my personal daily companions.
Planetary Ceremonial Bath Rituals
Beauty, Healing & Alignment—One Soak at a Time
This year I returned to my aromatherapy roots with the launch of our Planetary Ceremonial Baths—one for each day of the week, aligned with the ruling planet.
These blends pair Icelandic kelp, Himalayan salts, magnesium, organic botanicals, and essential oils to support:
-
skin health
-
nervous system regulation
-
emotional clarity
-
hormonal balance
Pairing tea with sacred bathing felt like a homecoming—an ancient ritual reborn.
The Elemental Alchemy Teas + Perfumes paired beautifully with these baths, creating a full-spectrum ceremony for body, mind, and soul.
Rare Teas from China
Wild Yunnan Tea & Zhangping Shuixian Oolong
On my spring pilgrimage to China, I fell in love twice:
-
Wild Yunnan Ancient Tree Tea – deeply grounding, intoxicating, alive
-
Zhangping Shuixian Oolong Cakes – the only pressed oolong in the world, and a storied tribute tea
These teas are so treasured in China that locals often outbid foreigners—so securing even a single case felt like a blessing. I’ve gifted the Wild Yunnan to friends I cherish most. Supplies are dwindling rapidly, and I won’t be able to get more until next fall, so please treat yourself if you feel called.
A Love Letter to You
As much as I adore the teas, potions, perfumes, and beauty offerings we crafted this year, the true heart of this journey is you.
You are the muse.
You inspire every blend.
You are the circle we bow to.
From the biodynamic farms where our tea begins…
to the hands of our team who blend, package, and ship each creation…
to the moment your water meets the leaves and becomes ceremony…
It is all part of a living continuum of connection.
Thank you for allowing us to be part of your rituals—your healing, your mornings, your celebrations, and your quiet returns to self.
This is more than tea.
It is a remembrance.
And I am deeply grateful to share it with you.
With all my love,
Zhena
