Drawing on the spiritual wisdom of ancient herbal traditions, our Spiritual Tea blend includes a considered range of herbs which have traditionally been used to support higher consciousness, spiritual connection, mental clarity and deeper meditative states.
Health and wellness can be difficult to achieve without harmony of mind, body and spirit. However, when all three are in balance, we find ourselves heading towards more complete health.
Bringing a spiritual practice into your life, as a daily routine or ritual, no matter how small or large, ensures we also attend to our spiritual health and mindfulness. We are then on our journey towards complete health and harmony.
Spiritual tea was designed to support a daily meditation, or spiritual ritual, to help strengthen one’s connection to self and support inner clarity. Whether this is a new, or an existing daily practice, it is our intention that this blend carries you closer to your true essence. Your higher self.
“Spirituality is not religion. It is a path for us to generate happiness, understanding, and love, so we can live deeply each moment of our life. Having a spiritual dimension in our lives does not mean escaping life or dwelling in a place of bliss outside this world but discovering ways to handle life’s difficulties and generate peace, joy, and happiness right where we are, on this beautiful planet.”
– Thich Nhat Hanh
This blend was designed for those seeking a sense of grounding and connection with one’s higher self. For those who have an existing meditative or mindful practice, or those looking to begin a new ritual, this blend was designed to support and enhance your daily mindfulness practice, carrying you closer to your true essence.

Our sensory system is deeply intertwined with our nervous system, and the environment we are surrounded by has a huge impact on how we feel. We can help maintain a calm sensory system by implementing a calm, sensory-friendly environment. This allows us more time for calm thought, reflection and perspective that can be a wonderful tool for reducing stress throughout the day.
Some of our favourite ways to create a calm space around our home are listed below
Music
The use of music can help support our sensory system, such as binaural beats, classical, ambient music, or nature music. Silence is often a rarity these days, but it is often in the silence that we are able to find stillness, and go within.
Incense / Oils / Scents
Scents can also play a role in supporting a calm and relaxed environment. Using aromatherapy or essential oils in a diffuser, or burning incense can add to a relaxing atmosphere.
Candles
There is something special with burning candles that is often hard to describe. It can be the scent of natural oils, the gentle flickering flame and the soft calm atmosphere that is created when burning them. We find putting on a candle seems to set the scene for a calm and relaxing environment conducive for meditation and reflection.
