Much has been written about the restorative properties of herbs and flowers and the Hibiscus is a prime example. In Hindu worship, the beautiful and highly fragrant blossoms of the Hibiscus plant are used as offerings to the goddess of time and change, Kali, and the god, Ganesh, widely revered as the remover of obstacles. Maybe adding Hibiscus to your daily routine will open spiritual and mental blockages! If this sounds far-fetched, remember that Hibiscus was designed by Nature to make you feel good.

The first thing you will notice when you unwrap a Tibet Rhodiola tea is that it resembles a tiny bird’s nest. It is thought that this tea helps the human body to overcome altitude sickness and cope with the lack of oxygen. Buddhist monks who lived at the base of the Himalayan Mountains likened the sensation to that of a soaring Booted Eagle of Tibet, as this eagle could soar to great heights without hindrance and make its nest at high altitudes. In homage to this bird, the tea was manufactured to resemble the bird’s nest.

These tea blooms were inspired by Tiffany lamps. There is a story that an American, when visiting a tea plantation owner, took a Tiffany lamp as a gift, which was then displayed prominently and visible to all who passed the house. One evening, an artisan, who worked on the plantation, became so mesmerised by the beauty of the light and colours emanating from it, that he was inspired to create something of his own. He took a handful of the finest green tea leaves and also some wild rosebuds and with great care tied them together with string, making them into a shape that evoked the lamp.

These tea blooms were inspired by the Tengchong volcano! The story goes that one day, an artisan who lived near the volcano, felt a tremor and decided to appease the universal forces in order to save his life and business. Wisely, he worked with local plants, believing their roots in the region’s volcanic soil would lend power to his creation. He tied exceptional green tea leaves from one of Yunnan's finest tea gardens with Amaranth, Hibiscus and Lavender blossoms. He believed that concealing the floral burst within the tea would spiritually represent his hope that the volcano's lava would be forever trapped inside the mountain, since when the volcano has not erupted.
