Relaxation Tea - The Armour Everyone Loves
Description
The cup opens in copper and red, warm and clear, with gold at the edges where the light gets in. Most of what floats belongs to the same family of colour—rust red, pink, gold—until you notice the small, grey-purple grains that hold their shape, cool against the warmth. They look less like flowers, more like seeds, and they keep their scent close, hidden in a tough casing. Some things are made to keep others out, but sometimes what keeps the world at bay is what draws you in, if you come close enough.
Today's cup: Relaxation Tea — rooibos, rose petals, rose buds, lavender, calendula petals. 1 tsp, 200mL, 100°C, four minutes. It takes a second infusion.
