Pillow Fort (8-410) (Smoked Barley, Lemon, Cinnamon)

Pillow Fort was born in frustration, but its creation was the salve to that frustration. Everyone who creates, whether it be tea or physical art or digital art or worlds or poetry or…  has had the experience, probably more than once, of someone acting as if they, the creator, has Continue Reading →

Alderaan’s General (Corvid’s Caravan and Cinnamon)

This entry is part 1 of 1 in the series Star Wars Beverages

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (or so it feels now) – someone I cared deeply for asked me for a tea that had smoke and cinnamon, but not vanilla. I jury-rigged a test, which went into a fascinating tea object that stayed at the old Continue Reading →

Believe Impossible Things (Organic Genmaicha with Cinnamon and Nutmeg)

Believe Impossible Things started with giving myself a work-present. Every so often when doing supply restocks, I will get myself something new to test and potentially play with.

Traveller’s Porridge (Organic Elderberry Genmai)

This tea began in a rare place. The seeds of it came from the sense of being listened to – but not in the moment. This was a circumstance where I felt like I had been listened to in a prior life-frame and that things I had said had trickled Continue Reading →

This entry is part 6 of 9 in the series Tea Naming
