Spring has come on fully here in the Willamette Valley! Flowers are opening, leaves are unfurling, local wildlife is abuzz with activity, and I for one am looking forward to longer and sunnier days. Warm nights will bring ample stargazing opportunities throughout the summer, and the impending solar eclipse on April 8th will mean that many of us will be extra-aware of the closest and most important star of all, our beloved sun. With that in mind, I looked at the season ahead and felt inspired to revisit this stargazing tea blend.
Eclipses can be potent times to reflect and set intentions or goals for the coming months. This uplifting blend of herbs is a lovely way to invoke a feeling of renewal and reflection, perfect for the energetic shift of an eclipse or an awe-inspiring night of stargazing. It also happens to be very tasty! I enjoy it both hot or iced and with a touch of honey or agave syrup.
