BLISSFUL BEVERAGE

[Blooming Bouquet Tea]  The tea initially look like a little ball; however, when hot water is poured into them, they blossom into an exquisite floral display and you experience serene, meditative bliss of watching it bloom.  Every tea ball is hand-crafted and hand-sewn using edible flowers and green teas, which makes it unique and no two tea-balls are alike. The flowers and tea leaves are jam-packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, containing vitamins A and C which are key in boosting our immune systems. They also contain minerals such as iron, potassium, and manganese for a sense of well-being. TASTE: The smell is slightly grassy and very fresh. The flavor is mildly floral due to the long and lovely green tea leaves and intricate flowers. This beverage may be sweetened with raw sugar or local honey.

[Matcha & Collagen Green Tea]  Matcha is made from ground tea leaves, and has been used in Eastern Asia for centuries because of its incredible benefits for body, skin, and mind. Matcha is known to reduces stress and create feelings of calm. Unlike other teas, which are brewed by soaking the leaves and removing them before consumption, matcha is made by grinding whole leaves into a fine powder. For this reason, one serving of matcha offers three times more antioxidants than steeped green tea and provides the same amounts of plant compounds as 20 cups of green tea. This tea offers anti-inflammatory effects, boosts immunity, increases cognitive response and increases metabolism. The compounds in matcha have been linked to anti-aging effects in the skin, including a reduction in wrinkles, roughness, discoloration, and sun damage. Research also suggests that the polyphenols found in matcha can be effective in reducing the skin’s sebum production to prevent acne. This drink also contains collagen which is a type of protein that plays an important role in building and supporting many tissues. It is shown to improve skin elasticity, help it better hold onto moisture, and to increase the density of collagen fibers within skin. TASTE: Matcha has many of the same flavor characteristics of regular green tea: a grassy flavor and vegetal taste marked by a bit of bitterness and a touch of sweetness lingering on the back end. This beverage may be sweetened with raw sugar or local honey.

[Ceremonial Cacao]  Cacao ceremonies are a centuries-old ritual seen as the ultimate heart-opener.  These are the same beans that create chocolate, but this is non-processed, no sugar added 100% cacao straight from the bean, and ground down into what is known, as cacao paste. Cacao is a powerful plant medicine and has many amazing, life-affirming qualities that support health and psychological well-being. Pure Cacao also contains powerful antioxidants. It increases the blood flow to the brain, creating more mental agility, awareness and focus while triggering the release of dopamine, anandamide and the endorphin phenylethylamine, all of which are known as the ‘bliss molecules’. Cacao also contains the essential amino acid tryptophan, which increases production of serotonin, an important brain chemical that helps us remain positive and happy.
