One of our most flavorful teas. The dramatic combination of vanilla & grenadine ensures a particularly satisfying cup. Certainly a ‘mysterious’ blend despite being a delicious mixture of grenadine & vanilla. Perhaps first created by Tibetan monks - infused with universal life energy, this tea is a perfect all day treat; sweet & toasty with a touch of dryness & a subtle bouquet. Originally, it is believed that this blend was developed by monks to support their life’s desires, especially the work that they did all by hand. Tea is an item that these monks considered good for the soul. Franciscan monks used to drink this tea to keep them awake during long periods of meditation. It is fair to say that this is an ancient & harmonious blend, as it is also used by Buddhist & Taoist monks. INGREDIENTS: Black tea, Calendula + Sunflower petals, Natural flavors(organic compliant).
