Magical Botanicals

A bowl of chaga mushroom chunks sits on a piece of burlap. A wooden spoon containing chaga mushroom powder is positioned beside the bowl on a textured, dark surface. The natural tones of the chaga contrast with the rustic background.
Chaga

Chaga is a potent medicinal mushroom renowned for its antioxidant properties. Packed with beta-glucans, Chaga helps boost the immune system by fighting off harmful free radicals and reducing inflammation throughout the body. It is also believed to support overall wellness by improving digestion, balancing blood sugar levels, and enhancing skin health. Chaga’s adaptogenic qualities help the body adapt to stress, making it a powerful ally for maintaining resilience and vitality.

Reishi
Reishi

Reishi, often called the “mushroom of immortality,” is highly valued for its calming and immune-boosting effects. This adaptogenic mushroom helps the body combat stress, promoting relaxation and supporting better sleep. It also enhances the immune system by modulating immune responses, making it effective in balancing and strengthening the body’s defenses. Reishi’s anti-inflammatory properties further support heart health, longevity, and overall vitality, making it a staple in wellness routines aimed at fostering a balanced and peaceful body and mind.

Lion's Mane
Lion's Mane

Lion’s Mane is celebrated for its remarkable benefits to brain health. This mushroom is known to enhance cognitive function, improve memory, and support nerve health through its ability to stimulate the production of nerve growth factors (NGFs). These compounds help repair and regenerate neurons, making Lion’s Mane effective for mental clarity, focus, and overall cognitive well-being. Additionally, Lion’s Mane may help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, making it a natural choice for enhancing both brain function and emotional balance.

FAQ

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 writes, “Natural Flavors” it’s not because we wants 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!
