Sanctuaire | Mint Green Tea

Across a horizon of spectral opposites, finger waved dunes in hues of saffron sit against an expanse of turquoise sky. An oasis lies amidst the scorching sands, its very existence a realm of contradictions. Within a retreat built from earth and mud stands an ornate silver pot surrounded by coloured glasses. Through a window of iron filigree, the unexpected centrepieces catch the final rays of a dying sun. Strength and fragility intertwine as the room fills with the scent of sweet mint and astringent tea. Heat emanates from the baked walls – a testament to the relentless embrace of the sun. Verdant fresh mint will breathe life and vitality into the drinker, despite the piping hot brew. As a crescent moon rises, the mint green tea cascades from a spectacular height. In a ceremony where the boundaries between imperial silk hemlines and dirt floors are blurred, a cup of contrasts fulfils a legacy of harmonious dualities.

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.
