    March Tea Passport Box

    This collection is everything you need to welcome in Spring. Saturday, March 20 is the Spring Equinox and brings with it the promise of warmer days, green things, and time outside in the sun. Here in Iowa we’ve been cooped up all winter, eating heavy foods, and maybe endulging in a bit too much of everything we tend to endulge in.

    Pre-order the March Box

    Bright Eyes Black Tea – Lovely iced or hot and a fresh citrus pop to wake you up and energize your body.

    Spring Equiox Green Tea – a fusion of a traditional herbalist spring tonic with our sencha.

    Mint Tonic – another traditional herbalist spring/summer tonic. Drink daily for the lovely favor, enjoy the nurishing nature of nettles.
