This is my first Tea Blend for Stress Relief

2 tsp dried holy basil

1 tsp dried lemon balm

1 tsp dried chamomile

1/2 tsp dried lavender

1/2 tsp dried eleuthero root

The special trick with this one is to heat up whatever cup you are using first under it's own hot water. That way it increases the heat produced while holding it, helping you feel the warmth will help bring you peace. Really good of you're feeling down on those lonely nights.

It certainly sounds like you do, with the care you must put into it. I’ll definitely be by to try that organic blend of yours sometime. Does the shop have regular hours?

You’re the only worker? My, that must be quite the commitment. I’ll be sure to stop by sometime, for sure. What types of earl grey do you have? I’m looking for a good cup of some.

I love my work, I really do. I make my own organic blend that is at root an Earl Grey. Then I also offer a normal set of Earl Grey that I purchase from the UK for popular demand. I hope to see you here sometime.

So I’m thinking about posting daily Tea Blends! I hope you are all okay with this idea. It’s a way for me to get more people drinking tea, and also hopefully get more business at The Greenhouse. So I look forward to what you all think,  Enjoy darlings!

It had been a terribly slow day in both sales and conversation. Magnolia looked forward to her regulars of course, but where is the fun and excitement she looked for in having a really conversation with someone? She went to the back of the cafe where most of her work was done, pounding and blending her herbs to make her selection of teas. If today was like most days it would at least be something to do, to spend her time preparing the rest of the orders she knew she would have to fill before the day was up. When suddenly, the chime of the door with the followed wooden creaking of the floor, then a chair sliding out and back in. A customer? At this time? How wonderful! Magnolia took her kettle and quickly filled it with water and tossed it to the burner.

Magnolia came out from behind the large green and purple floral printed curtain with a wooden tray decorated with sugar cookies that had been dusted with golden sugar flakes, two beautiful black tea cups with a golden trim, two impossibly small spoons, A small glass pitcher of cold cream and a jar of sugar cubes. Magnolia set the tray down on the table and gave the lovely new face a smile, “Hello there dear, Welcome to the Greenhouse, I’m Magnolia, the owner of this small establishment. What can I help you with today?”

Bow down to the royaltea || Magnolia & Morelia.

Going out in the middle of the day was an odd thing for Morelia to do. The only times she dared to step under the sunlight was because Zeus has misbehaving and needed some outside time out, or because she needed to do something that couldn’t be done with the comforting moon looking over her shoulder. Today was one of those days, as she deeply craved some tea and she didn’t have any in her house.

Now, there were two options: she could just wait for the night, go to the store and buy the necessary items, which would mean waiting for hours… or she could venture out, risk a nasty burn, and get her tea in minutes. Morelia had lots of patience. She could easily just wait out her craving to leave, or the night to fall to get it sorted out, but she wouldn’t truly be her if she didn’t to reckless stupid things every now and then.

Despite her better judgement, she found herself leaving Zeus at home. If there was one thing she’d learned after getting her furbaby was that humans were, in general, terrified of big dogs, and the rottweiller had proven to be a really nice, lowcost human repellent. But she didn’t know if her destination allowed pets inside.

It took her a bit longer than expected to arrive at the Florist Tea Cafe, and despite hearing that the best tea in town could be found there, Morelia had never really visited it before. When she walked in, the umbrella she used to protect herself from sunlight as much as possible in hand, the woman walked to the table furthest away from the windows, in order to enjoy her tea in peace.

Indeed, I have to try this out.

Please do! Do feel free to stop by The Greenhouse at anytime and have a drink with me. Or you can always purchase it for your own use.

What about meat?

are you kidding? alcohol is the best remedy for a sleepless night. this is why hippies shouldn’t be doctors.

Oh, I would never shame anyone for their personal vices, but if you want to maintain a healthy happy life, any doctor I know would tell you that the first step is getting rid of those bad habits. Tea is a great way to substitute a sleepless night full of drunken misbehavior in my opinion.

Huh, I might give this a try.

Please do! You can always stop by my shop and grab a cup or I can prepare you the blend for purchase so you can take it home and relax on your own time.

Where is the alcohol?

Oh, I would not suggest drinking alcohol with this blend, there may be negative side effects.

[meta] bugbears. feel. about them?

I personally love the idea of a Bugbear. Magnolia on the other hand, maybe a little cautious around them, you know the saying about Bulls and China Shops, Right?

What's a good tea blend for a sleepless night?

I’d recommend a blend I use personally

1/4 cup Chamomile

1/4 cup Linden leaves

2 Teaspoons Mint

1 Tablespoon of Orange Blossoms

2 Tablespoon of Lemon Verbena

and my secret ingredient 1 Teaspoon of Lavender 

I do hope this helps with the restlessness

[meta] Is there a species you don't like.

I personally don’t like The Werewolves, never been a big fan of werewolves.

What's the secret to great tea?

The secret to a great tea blend, is the amount of time you spend caring for the herbs you use. Transferring them from pot to mortar and grinding it to just the right amount and then I use a standard kettle to boil the water. I don’t like any of those new ones they make now-a-days. I personally use reusable tea bags for straining, I make those myself also. I hope this answers the question, simply put, a lot of love and care makes a great tea.
