Moon and Sixpence | Tropical Green Tea

Under the stars, the land is transformed. The shifting sands settle, no longer animated by the scurrying creatures who retired with the sunshine. Tahitian white flowers bloom; their scent a silent bid for pollination, escorted by a pensive breeze. All is quiet but for the waves that roar for something ineffably profound; an omniscient declaration heard only by the sphynx moths. The night is so beautiful one’s spirit seems ready to be whisked away by the winds, in congress with the scent of coastal gardenias. The soul relinquishes body in favour of the ocean, cautioning permanent departure. But at dawn, it is shepherded ashore by the rising sun, disentangled from the bewitching night. The spirit bides its time in reluctant corporeal refuge until, in the company of moths pursuing the moon, it will race to the dark shores to sing again with the summons of the evening sea.

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. And so, 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.
