Guess what I'm making for you :)

01/13/2026

Our Tea of the Week is a light, calming cinnamon & plum blend with ginger, linden, & lemon balm, designed to help you settle your emotions and find a sense of calm. 🌱🫚🌸 Here’s how these herbs can help your mind & body:

🍋 Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis)

•Contains rosmarinic acid, which increases the activity of GABA, a neurotransmitter that helps inhibit brain overexcitement and promotes a sense of calm.

•Can improve alertness and reduce feelings of nervousness or agitation within one to three hours.

•Helps soothe “nervous stomach” symptoms like bloating and gas by relaxing gastrointestinal spasms.

🌿 Linden (Tilia spp.)

•Compounds in linden, particularly flavonoids like kaempferol and quercetin, are believed to mimic GABA activity to reduce nervous system excitability.

•Traditionally used to ease stress-related physical symptoms, including tension headaches, heart palpitations, and muscle spasms.

•Known as a “relaxing nervine,” linden tea is frequently consumed before bed to support deep relaxation and help with falling asleep.

We are hiring!

Looking for a borderline full-time person who can do a little bit of everything:

Making drinks, running the tea bar, helping with packaging tea and product, as well as learning to make our products.

You'll be a right hand to my current managers and be able to easily swing between front of house and back, have good attention to detail, loads of common sense, good communication, a willingness to "figure it out" and take direction, and work as a team.
None of the work is "hard", but there is a lot of nuance. You'll also be on your feet most of the time, so must be prepared for that.

Come in to get an application, please do not message me on here regarding the job, I definitely consider that the first litmus test 😉

01/01/2026

We are OPEN today! 👋🏻 We’ll be here until 5:30, serving up more of our Immune Spice Tea of the Week. 💜

Come start 2026 with nourishing herbs in a hot, delicious drink! 🫖

It's been such a busy week I completely forgot to update you!

Tea of the week is Immune Spice - since everyone is sickly right now, we put together some elderberry, lemon balm, rose hips, ginger, cinnamon, hibiscus, and honey for you to enjoy and to give your immune system some direction and nourishment!

12/23/2025

We are open 10-3 today for your last minute Christmas shopping.

We are serving you a gingerbread chai latte for the tea of the week 🤤

And we are trying to get 300 orders out the door today!

We will see you today and we will be closed Christmas Eve and Day so we can spend time with our families, and be back to see you on Friday ❤️

We have FIVE new products hitting the shelves on Monday!!

We have been working on these for a few months and I'm so excited to have them done!

Let's start with our ROOTS :)

🌲 His Roots
🌹 Her Roots and,
🌱Little Roots

Think of them as herbal multivitamins! With heavily nourishing herbs like Nettle, Oat straw, and Moringa and supporting herbs for men, like saw palmetto and rhodiola, for women like Angelica and butterfly pea, and for littles like elderberry and rose hips.

Those aren't complete lists -- but I'm super excited to offer these daily herbal supports. They are all alcohol extractions, though for the Little Roots we cooked off the alcohol and added glycerine to make it more palatable for our picky little ones!

NEXT is --

💕 Balance Blend -- a women's hormonal support tincture. With herbs like Black cohosh, wild yam, chaste berry, spearmint, Gotu kola, spearmint, and Angelica, this blend touches all the bases for more mature women looking for a bit of a reprieve from the rollercoaster. We have emotion and overwhelm soothing, all 3 major s*x hormone supports, and cognitive support as well.

I get asked frequently about what I have for libido, hot flashes, night sweats, challenging menstrual issues, and there will be some nuance but it is likely I will point you in this direction.

And lastly --

🌿Be Well Oxymel.
My long-time customers might recognize this one, we used to have a blend called "stay well oxymel" and this is the upgraded version!

With herbs like elderberry, echinacea, elderflower, ginger, and rosemary -- this is a great herbal support for sick season. For uses during acute needs for kicking crud and for prevention for up to 4 weeks of consecutive use followed by a 2-4 week break.

We are looking forward to hearing how you like our new additions and hope you will consider doing some last minute Christmas shopping with us - we will be open MONDAY just for YOU (we are usually closed) 10-3.

And Tuesday 10-3.

See you then ❤️ and until then -- let us know what you're most excited about??

12/20/2025

Today is our last day of our "Christmas in a cup" tea - a little cranberry, a little elderberry, a little "Christmas" spice.

We also have these adorable little tea samplers!

See you today til 530 :)
