Have you, like me, been a little TENSE lately? Then I am delighted to share this new tea with you.

I’m calling it Lavender Lift and it’s one of those teas that is greater than the sum of its parts. It’s tulsi, marshmallow leaf, and a little bit of lavender. Some kind of magic happens when you put them together! I admit, I am not the biggest fan of lavender, because too much of it can taste like grandma’s soap. But wowza – I cannot get enough of this tea. The tulsi has that hard-to-define fruitiness. Just enough lavender gives it complexity (without tasting like soap!).

With the first sip of this, my shoulders finally relaxed from their seemingly permanent position jammed up by my ears. I took a deep, freeing breath. I was able to keep focusing on that sensation of letting my shoulders drop expanding my breathing, and as I did that, the tension just seemed to melt out of me.

Was it a fluke? Am I the only person it affects this way? I don’t know! But given all the 😬 in the world right now, I hope it works for you, too.

Did I mention it also tastes dreamy? Like a calm June evening when the fireflies come out.
