Made in collaboration with Buddhist teacher and rapper Born I — it's one of his favorites, and you can find it on his merch table. It's a good tea for meditation and creative work. Not because it slows you down, but because it finds that sweet spot-- that "just-right-ness" between too relaxed and too stimulated. Energizing and calming at the same time.
Very easy to brew, you get a swirl of honeysuckle, light florals, cinnamon, and a smooth deep mouthfeel that lingers. Comforting, welcoming, friendly, yet complex.
Fuding White Tea, Gong Mei material aging since 2021. It's only getting better.
Part of the proceeds from every cake of Silent Illumination go to support a scholarship fund, giving teenagers access to their first meditation retreat -- welcoming new practitioners to the path of awakening.
