TEA, Let's RELAX into it

Aroma of earthiness sweeping the air with hints of lavender, rose and honey, so delicate as the steam rises from the splashes of ocean waves pouring from the  kettle awakening the leaves. The innocent bloom of petals rest and float its beauty to you.

Your first sip takes you to the infinite world of dreams within You, as you pause, reflect and sit with the aroma, heat and essence the rose fusion. Stillness arises as you connect with the inner part of you that is infinite and magnificent

Tea is a name given to a lot of brews, such as green tea, black tea, white tea, oolong tea, and pu-erh tea . They are derived from the Camellia sinensis plant, a shrub native to China and India, and contain unique antioxidants called flavonoids.

Blooming Teas-

Blooming tea or flowering tea is a combination of teas and tisanes. More specifically, this tea is a tight bundle of green tea leaves or buds skillfully hand-woven around dried flowers like globe amaranth, jasmine, marigold, lily, and osmanthus.

Drinking a cup of herbal tea each day may help protect your health in the long term and reduce stress levels.  Studies have shown, that lemon balm, which can be consumed in tea blends, may be effective for improving feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression, that has ongoing current research.
