Relaxation Tea - Everything the Flower Will Ever Be

Relaxation Tea is a cup that gathers both what has opened and what is still folded. In the water, rose petals drift alongside tight rose buds, rooibos needles and threads of calendula, each releasing colour and scent at its own pace. The bud is not a draft or a smaller version; it is the whole flower, waiting for time and water to show what is already inside. Some things are not missing, just not opened yet. Today's cup: Relaxation Tea — rooibos, rose petals, rose buds, lavender, calendula petals. 1 tsp, 200mL, 100°C, four minutes. It takes a second infusion. --- A tea and a musing every weekday morning. Before It Begins is made by Impala & Peacock Artisan Teas, blended by hand in Melbourne. To join our tea ritual - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠click here.⁠⁠⁠⁠
