"Tea for Two" : Tea Tasting Box

They say that herbs are the garden's way of saying, “I love you”.

It is the love language of  hard work and nature's bounty. Each flower and herb that's included has been hand-chosen by our curator & owner. We've included a collection of  organic treats from the garden, including Chamomile, Hibiscus, Orange Peel, Mint, Crystallized Ginger, and Butterfly Pea Flower from Monterey Bay Herb Company, in Watsonville, California. 

Accompanying these ingredients is the perfect sized  glass jar for creating and storing YOUR custom blend for you and a friend. 

We’ve also included a half pound of honey from one of the most beautiful  places on earth, Big Sur.  Big Sur Honey Company is a small family owned apiary that produces wildflower honey with a rich complex flavor with hints of citrus and caramel.

You’ll also find wooden spoons for both honey and tea, a sturdy stainless steel diffuser, and a set of single-use unbleached tea bags for those times when you want to make  tea for you and your love but are on the go.

Last but not least, we've included a themed cookie cutter! This little dragonfly cutter perfectly represents the farmer’s gardens, and the mystique of this curated tea apothecary.
