Egyptian Hibiscus Tea (organic)

Sold out of brittle woven baskets are crops of fresh cranberries, so perfectly plump they reflect the sun and contribute to the intensity of an ambient morning glare. Amidst the bustling marketplace, a quiet moment is stolen in the shade of towering textiles. While some may need to retire from the heat as the day wears on, the hibiscus plants of Egypt thrive. Crimson spined flowers relinquish their shine as they are laid out and dried by the thousands in the unrelenting daylight. A strong ruby infusion of Egyptian hibiscus tea echoes the dryness of its origins and the sharp bite of the midday sun – its severity assuaged by bright notes of pomegranate and cranberry.

Tea is a ritual of quiet attention. Once welcomed into a routine, it provides dependable moments of joyous tranquility via the senses:

Sight: the golden, amber hues of a steeped brew.
Olfactory: the earthy or floral scent of unfurling steam.
Touch: the weight and texture of a perfectly crafted cup.
And of course – the taste.

Each enchanting sensory cue to draws the tea drinker deeper into the present moment. This is why we define tea as sanctuary.

In a world of distractions and glorified hustle, the deliberate act of brewing tea is nothing short of gently radical. Adjusting water temperatures, studying the copper threads as they infuse into the pot, and treasuring the first sip are all small but meaningful acts of rebellion. And like any revolution, at its core is principled intention. Though few rebellions announce themselves in something as delightful as a cup of tea, therein lies its subversive audacity. For this reason, our blends and their accompanying stories are meticulously crafted to enhance tea’s transportive powers and thoroughly envelop the drinker. In essence, tea is neither trend nor commodity. It is a timeless practice with a home in every culture. It is refined over centuries and waits to be discovered – telling its story time, and time again.
