Origin - Blend Hibiscus
Comprising a large genus of about 200-220 species of flowering plants in the family Malvaceae Hibiscus is native to warm temperate subtropical and tropical regions throughout the world. It is the state flower of Hawaii and the national flower of Malaysia. Depending on the variety Hibiscus flowers are large conspicuous trumpet-shaped with five petals ranging from white to pink red purple or yellow and from 4-15 cm broad size.
Ginger
Although called a root Ginger is actually the rhizome (horizontal stem of a plant that often sends out roots) of the plant Zingiber officinale. We use organic dried ginger with mildly spicy flavor undertones to balance the sweet lushness of Hibiscus in this blend. Ginger is known to be a good remedy for digestive problems.
Handblended
To provide consistency in flavor we hand blend in small batches.

The Tao of Tea
Like the Tao the art of tea is universal. We began our work with tea in 1997 to be a connecting thread for tea culture. Practicing the art on a daily basis in our teahouses in Portland Oregon we are a group of tea enthusiasts from different backgrounds and cultures. We travel learn take delight and seek to offer pure leaf teas with great flavor artistry and soul. Our reward comes through actions that help people's lives sustain the art of tea and promise a healthy environment.
