Hinterland | Mint & Strawberry Herbal Tea

Parched grasses hypnotically animate, audibly weaving a textured melody. Each blade’s frenetic movement collectively forges a billowing landscape that peacefully recedes and ascends. Among them is a piece of blotted parchment, jars of water in shades of yellow and red, and two cups of tea – one of which is strangely colourful. Distracted by the coursing winds, this first cup of mint and strawberry herbal tea found accidental purpose in capturing unwanted pigments. The second cup, reproachfully poured, is fragrant and complex, with no one singular component declaring itself as the brew evolves beyond the sum of its parts. The breeze drops and an unwelcome dilemma arises; a choice must be made between blending the colours while still wet, or sipping the tea while still warm. Hesitation will see both lost to the Westerlies.

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.
