The Story Behind the Blend:

Hummingbird was inspired by the Summer Solstice - the longest day of the year and the moment when the garden is approaching its fullest expression. Flowers are open, pollinators are busy, the first fruits of the season begin to appear. It's a time of abundance, color and life. 

The Hummingbird felt like a natural symbol for this juicy infusion. Drawn to nectar rich blossoms and constantly in motion, Hummingbirds embody the energy of midsummer: vibrant, fleeting and fully alive in the present moment.

Bright citrus, Berries, and Lemongrass were all chosen to reflect the feeling of standing in a summer garden at it's peak. White tea and Tulsi were added for their synergistic effects promoting balance and a gentle lift. The result is a blend that celebrates the height of Summer, a reminder to soak up the sun and celebrate all that the season has to offer, before the days slowly begin to shorten once again.

Key Botanicals and Their Traditional Uses:

Amanatsu (Citrus natsudaidai)

Amanatsu is a Beloved Japanese citrus fruit known for its bright aroma and sweet-tart flavor. It's arrival coincides with the transition from spring into summer, making it perfect for a blend that celebrates the Summer Solstice. This candied Amanatsu is crafted from a traditional recipe using no preservatives and with citrus grown in the Shikoku / Chugoku Region of Japan. In Hummingbird it contributes a bold citrus flavor, reminiscent of sunshine itself. 

Blueberries (Vaccinium spp.)

Hibiscus (Hibiscus Sabdariffa)

Rich in naturally occurring plant antioxidants, it brings brightness and vibrancy to the blend, and has traditionally been used to do the same for the skin due to its unique compounds.**

Rose Hips (Rosa spp.)
