It's mid-season, which means another round of blends being culled from our regular rotation! Here are the 27 teas moving to secret-menu-only status after March 3rd!

Plenty of fair warning to stock up on your fave retirees!
Tea & board game pairings, anyone? 🍵🎲⁠

Lanterns is a pretty tile placement game featuring lovely paper lantern art & a chill vibe. Easy to learn, easy to play, and aesthetically pleasing.

We'd pair this game with Wind Princess to add herbal elegance and glowy airy energy to your game sesh!

The guy who first dressed as Portland Frog, a major symbol of our protest and then other national protests, has been arrested while peacefully protesting. Prints of this painting by Simran Gleason are being sold to support his defense. www.simrangleason.com/prints/p/por... #pdx #protest

Retirement does not mean they're GONE gone, just means we won't blend them regularly & you'll need to pay a $5 microbatch fee to special order them or wait for them to come around on silly hashtag "holidays" or at conventions.

Making these cuts helps us a lot and we appreciate your understanding!

Don’t let them convince you that you don’t have a right to protest.

Don’t let them say that showing up for your fellow human being doesn’t matter.

Don’t let them scare you into silence.

Documenting ICE atrocities saves lives.

It’s our best chance to hold them accountable.

At clinic defenses I learned what a difference music makes. It changes the atmosphere and gives everyone something collective to do in between chants. I’ve had We Shall Not Be Moved rattling around my head all day
Everyone I know who has survived being an activist long term has found a way to bring art and joy to the work they do. Not just for them, but for the people they work with

Art making, singing, whatever, is a huge part of building collective resilience

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.

Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”

Really listen to it.

There. Are. Not. Enough. Of. Them.
We are the resistance! The resistance must win! Don't back down... keep showing up, blowing whistles, protecting your communities, protesting.

Chocolate with a groove, right in your favorite tea house? More likely than you think! We're proud to partner with fellow local queer latinx indie spot Cocoa Legato everyday: our teas at their café, their chocolates at ours!⁠

Coming soon: a dreamy herbal infusion collab that'll make you swoon...

We still have a Boxer 1 Group espresso maker we're trying to sell. It's a 220V plug and I am not an espresso person so idk anything about it. Asking for $1k which is 20% new price, willing to negotiate. Please get it out of our hands!

He was killed by an off-duty ICE agent in LA earlier this month.

Tea & board game pairings, anyone? 🍵🎲⁠

Boss Monster is a silly pixelated dungeon builder card game in which you play the titular creature and try to craft the most inhospitable environment for murderous adventurers.⁠

We'd pair this game with Knuckle Sandwich to level up your attacks!
