Everybody is tending something.

A garden. A business. A kid learning to drive. A half-built chair in the garage, or a friendship that’s owed a phone call. Most of it isn’t glamorous, and most of it takes longer than anyone said it would.

Some days ask you to start. Some ask you to keep going after the new has worn off. Some ask you to set it down for the night and trust it will keep until morning.

We make tea for all of those days. Because even when the work is yours to do, a good cup makes fine company.

Brewing

Pour, set a timer, carry on.

Our blends steep for 10 to 12 minutes, longer than a tea bag. That’s ten minutes back in your day while it brews: rinse the dishes, write tomorrow’s list, or just sit.

  1. 1

    Measure

    About a tablespoon of tea for an 8 oz cup.

  2. 2

    Pour, cover, start the timer

    Water just off the boil, about 200°F. Put a lid or saucer on top and set a timer for 10 to 12 minutes.

  3. 3

    Strain and drink

    When the timer goes off, strain it and sweeten if you like.
