BLESSINGS
A very special tea offering blessings to you and your space through steam and sip. The plants transform into their spiritual bodies through steam just as they do through smoke. Each herb was invited into this blend for its unique essence that is released as the tea steeps. The steam fills the room and sets with you for a wonderful cup filled with prayer.
All Organic Ingredients:
Jasmine green tea, Heather, Lavender, Elderflower & Peppermint
Jasmine brings love. Love of self, the moment, of all the gifts of life. Peppermint brings healing. Healing that which needs to heal. Your smaller world (self) and larger world. Lavender offers peace. Calm a racing mind, set with a moment and feel it with a sense of calmness and clarity. Elderflower honors ancestors. It can bring protection while supporting release of fear of the unknown. Heather invites happiness. Shed desire for excess control and rigid expectations. Bring forth passion, spontaneity and trust into life. Feel joy without guilt. Even if just for a moment. Enjoy the smile that visits.
Preparation:
Use 1 Tb per 16 oz. of purified 180º water. Adjust amount of tea to your desired tea strength.
Steep 2.5 - 3.5 minutes uncovered and allow the steam to fill your space and lungs. Breathe deeply and wave the smoke into areas of your room or home that you want to fill with the blessings. Once time is complete, remove tea from cup and sip intentionally. Acknowledge what the plants are bringing you and the power within this. Do not throw the discarded tea leaves into the trash. Send them back home to the land in thanks for their blessings.
Mildly Caffeinated
This tea is also available in tea bags !
We do this completely by hand, just like our herbal blends, and each teabag contains approximately 4-5 grams of tea. That’s basically a full Tb of tea per teabag, the perfect size for a large mug or small tea pot. The 10 teabag package contains approximately 1.5 oz of tea.
Teaching herbalism through tea craft:
The concept behind this tea lives within the world of acknowledging plants as living beings. They have physical bodies which affect your physical body in a certain way. For example, caffeine found in the tea leaf brings energy to your system. Plants also have spirits and essences since they are living beings of this world. Their essence, personality, and spirit can meet you in a very different way. It is less obvious but certainly not less powerful. We must work with the plants and ask of them what in particular we seek. That is why we set intentions and have mindful moments with the tea when asking them to reveal their deepest essence and gift us with their ancient knowledge and blessings.
