SAFFRON ROSE BLACK TEA
Lakshmi in Abundance
Lakshmi in Abundance is a ceremonial black tea devoted to the sacred practice of receiving. Inspired by Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth, prosperity, beauty, and radiant good fortune, this blend invites you to open your hands and welcome what is already flowing toward you.
Heritage black tea and aged puerh steep into a rich, velvety cup, while silky rose crème and soft jasmine petals wrap it in softness, and a thread of golden saffron warms it through. Jujube and date lend a naturally sweet, grounding finish, abundance you can taste before you've thought a single thought about it.
Rich in antioxidants, Lakshmi supports moments of ritual, gratitude, and open-hearted receiving. More than a tea, it is a daily reminder that prosperity is your birthright, and that receiving is as sacred as giving.
With every sip, let Lakshmi open your palms a little wider, until abundance feels less like something you chase, and more like something you simply let in.
Wild Moon White Tea
Artemis of the Wilds
Artemis of the Wilds is a ceremonial white tea devoted to the sacred practice of wildness. Inspired by Artemis, the Greek goddess of the moon, the hunt, and the untamed, this blend invites you to release what asks permission and reclaim what is truly yours.
Moonlight white tea, mugwort, and butterfly pea flower steep into a cup as dark as midnight, while wild raspberry — fruit and leaf — carries the bramble's sweetness and thorns in a single sip. Squeeze in fresh lemon and watch indigo turn violet, one small act of your own hands changing the whole sky.
Naturally low in caffeine, Artemis supports moments of moonlit ritual, boundary-setting, and reclaiming your wild self. More than a tea, it is a monthly reminder that sovereignty is sacred, instinct is trustworthy, and you were never meant to be tamed.
With every sip, let Artemis draw her bow until everything you feel, do, and say answers to no one but you.
HONEY NECTAR HERBAL TEA
Hathor of Joy
Hathor of Joy is a ceremonial herbal tea devoted to the sacred practice of joy. Inspired by Hathor, the Egyptian goddess of love, beauty, music, dance, and motherhood, this blend invites you to soften, receive, and fill your days with sweetness.
Like a fine elderflower wine, this honey nectar herbal tea is both soothing and regenerative. Blue lotus, rose, and jasmine create a dreamy, heart-opening infusion, while peach, pineapple, and honeyed nectar notes bring warmth, comfort, and radiant abundance to every cup.
Naturally caffeine-free, Hathor supports moments of restoration, nervous system nourishment, and feminine renewal. More than a tea, it is a daily reminder that beauty is a form of devotion, pleasure is sacred, and joy is medicine for the soul.
With every sip, let Hathor’s energy move through you until everything you feel, do, and say becomes just a little more honey-like.
Peach Moonlight White Tea
Flora in Bloom
Flora in Bloom is a seasonal ritual set devoted to beauty, renewal, and the quiet permission to simply bloom.
Inspired by Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers and spring, this offering invites you into a world where beauty is not earned, but embodied. Where life moves in cycles of planting, resting, and flowering, and blooming is sacred in itself.
At the heart of the ritual is Peach Moonlight White Tea, a delicate blend of white tea, chamomile, rose, and soft orchard fruits. Light, floral, and gently uplifting, it tastes like a moonlit garden in early spring.
Paired with Flora’s Bath Soak, this ritual extends beyond the cup. Botanical petals and aromatic herbs transform warm water into a sensory return to the body, encouraging deep rest, softness, and radiance.
Flora in Bloom is a reminder that you do not need to become anything more. You are already in season. You are already becoming.
Oriental Beauty Oolong with Jasmine, Strawberry & Bergamot
Freya the Radiant
Freya’s strength & beauty could only be depicted through one of the rarest and most unique teas on planet earth:
Oriental Beauty Oolong (Bai Hao / Dong Fang Mei Ren)
There is a tea that owes its magic to a tiny insect and we think that is one of the most extraordinary stories in all of the tea world.
Oriental Beauty, known in Taiwan as Dong Fang Mei Ren, is born in the mist-draped hills of Hsinchu County, where small leafhoppers nibble the tender leaves, triggering the plant to produce a naturally occurring sweetness unlike anything else in nature. No pesticides. No interference. Just the wisdom of an ecosystem doing exactly what it was designed to do.
Ripe summer peach kissed with wildflower honey, a breath of warm spice, and a finish that lingers like the last note of a song you don’t want to end. The liquor pours a luminous reddish-amber, deep, jewel-toned, and gorgeous in the cup.
This tea is highly oxidized, closer to a black tea in character, which gives it a richness and body that feels almost like sipping liquid velvet. The leaves themselves are a work of art, multi-colored, silver-tipped, and twisted, each one a tiny masterpiece.
It has long been called the Champagne of teas and we agree. This is a tea for celebrating ordinary moments as sacred ones.
Pomegranate & Jasmine Green Tea
Persephone's Potion
Queen of Transformation
She who walks between worlds—from winter’s shadow to spring’s radiant bloom.
This sacred blend honors her journey with the fruits of both realms: deep ruby elderberries and pomegranate seeds from the underworld, kissed by jasmine’s ascending spring light.
A tart-sweet elixir of regeneration, this tea transforms you from the inside out, supporting immunity, cellular renewal, and radiant beauty from within with every sip.
The deep ruby-red color from hibiscus, elderberry, and pomegranate perfectly captures Persephone’s duality. The richness of the underworld with the vitality of spring. The jasmine green tea adds her ascension energy.
Persephone walks between worlds. Six months in shadow, six months in bloom.
Her myth teaches us that renewal is not forced. It is cyclical. It is embodied. It is inevitable.
March is the month of emergence. Cellular renewal. Skin awakening. Inner beauty rising to the surface.
This is transformation without urgency. Rebirth without striving.
Damiana & Rose White Tea
Aphrodite’s Alchemy
Aphrodite was born from sea foam, rising fully formed from the ocean, beauty incarnate and needing no one’s permission to exist.
In Greek mythology, she is the goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, and sacred sexuality. Unlike many goddesses bound by marriage or duty, Aphrodite chose her lovers freely and followed desire as a divine force. Her true power came from within, from complete comfort in her own body and worthiness of pleasure.
She was worshipped in temples where pleasure was prayer, especially in Cyprus, her island of origin. There, Aphrodite was also known as a warrior goddess and protector of love and beauty. Later traditions tried to reduce her to vanity or infidelity, but the Greek sources remember her as an embodied force who taught that love and pleasure are sacred powers of creation.
Aphrodite is the Greek goddess who rose from sea foam fully formed—an embodiment of beauty, harmony, and self-worth. She teaches that true magnetism comes from within, from honoring what feels life-giving and moving through the world with ease and confidence.
Unbound by obligation, Aphrodite follows what nourishes the heart and reminds us that appreciation, pleasure, and connection are creative forces.
Worshipped especially in Cyprus, Aphrodite was honored as both a protector and a source of renewal. Ancient traditions remembered her not as vanity, but as a powerful presence who showed that beauty and love are essential energies that bring balance, inspiration, and vitality to life.
Winter Berry Puerh
Skadi The Sovereign
A berry-infused puerh tea for sovereignty, self-trust, and winter clarity.
The Wolf Moon rises in the heart of winter, calling us back to our true nature. This ceremonial blend honors Skadi, the Norse Winter Queen and goddess of sovereignty, independence, and wild self-knowing.
Skadi’s Sovereignty is crafted for those moments when clarity comes through stillness, when strength is forged quietly, and when choosing yourself becomes the most radical act of all.
This grounding puerh blend carries deep, earthy strength softened by subtle berry notes—rich, steady, and fortifying. Designed to support winter resilience, intuitive awareness, and embodied clarity.
Skadi (SKAH-dee) is the Norse goddess who chose her mountains over compromise. Offered comfort, partnership, and ease, she instead returned to the wild—honoring her nature above all else.
She teaches that true power comes from self-trust, from knowing who you are so deeply that no external approval can sway you.

How to Steep Loose Leaf Tea
What is Tea Ceremony?
FAQ
Yes, all of our teas undergo rigorous third-party testing to ensure they meet the highest standards for quality, purity, and safety. We proudly hold certifications for each blend, so you can sip confidently, knowing that our teas are crafted with care and integrity.
Our teas are cultivated, harvested, and blended from soil to cup with the Magic Hour Rule of Love. The base of our teas is grown in the tea estate where I was married :)! The exquisite buds are grown and harvested by our friends in a garden that touches the sky at the top of the mountains in the high-country of Sri Lanka. The pristine Idulgashinna Bio Tea Garden’s perched above a wildlife preserve. It was the first tea garden to become certified Biodynamic and organic in the world, it’s home to our family of farmers and growers whose respect towards nature and one another has become the gold standard of tea estates all over the world. We also source from small organic family gardens in Taiwan, Rwanda, India, Yunnan, Kyoto and Kagoshima, Japan.
Our formulator, Zhena, is an aromatherapist and was one of the founders of the Organic and Fair Trade movement over 25 years ago. She was crucial in getting rules for organics passed and has had a long-time passion for organics, Biodynamics and pure products. Her blending style is bold and she uses Organic-Compliant extracts of fruits, essential oils, and spices that fall under the “Natural Flavors” broad stroke ingredient description by the FDA. We only use extracts and flavors extracted with non-toxic methods and are 100% natural coming from the fruit or spice or flower that is distilled without chemicals.
Other companies may use “Natural Flavors” that are in a Propylene Glycol base—Zhena fought the label standards on this chemical 15 years ago and is dedicated to NEVER using flavorings with this or any other chemicals. Our flavors are entirely extracted naturally using alcohol or steam distillation. In the blending process, if the extract has alcohol, the alcohol dissipates. If you’ve ever used Vanilla Extract for cooking—you’ve used what Zhena uses in larger volumes.
When we write, “Natural Flavors” it’s not because we want to but that’s what the FDA requires. It’s not a great description and we assure you our standards are of the highest using only natural extracts and essential oils.
Please feel free to enjoy most of our teas without worry regarding being vegan compliant.
As of May of 2021, the only tea we have that is not vegan is Quintessence, which contains honey crystals.
You could steep our teas many times. A new flavor nuance will arise each time. If you’re planning to steep more than twice, you might want to add an additional teaspoon or two according to taste and the strength desired.
It's a common misconception that tea ceremony has to take up a lot of time from your schedule. I want to encourage you to take time for yourself, daily, in a simple tea ceremony. Simply naming 3 gratitudes as your water boils will uplift and shift your day!
However, the process only has to take as little as 10 minutes! For example, for most of our teas we suggest steeping 1 heaping teaspoon in water that is between 160--212 degrees (depending on the tea type--check the label!). As you steep your tea for the recommended minutes, take 3 heart-breaths, expanding the emerald green energy of your heart chakra. As you expand that blessed energy, you will activate your true intelligence which is found in the heart.
Then as you steep your loose-leaf magical tea, center into your senses. As yourself the Magic Hour sensory questions:
- What do I hear?
- What do I see?
- What do I feel?
- What do I smell?
- What do I taste?
Then sip your tea with newfound presence.
Presence is where heaven is found. We want you to find your heaven on a daily basis!
