Cicada
Cicada
Ancient Medicine Tea Blend
butter lettuce • jasmine • sweet mint
Cicada is built upon a luscious high-altitude maofeng green tea that is carefully blended with revitalizing botanicals. The blend has a delicate but refined body, and smooth, slightly sweet finish, with savory notes of butter-lettuce combined with floral aromas of jasmine and white orchid, and a flourish of sweet mint.
Additional Notes
Since ancient times, the Cicada has been revered as an embodiment of the secrets of longevity, while its song or resonate humming was thought to symbolize a creative wellspring of poetry and new life. The emergence of the cicada is a mysterious and almost magical event, as their life-cycles keep them underground anywhere from 2-17 years before they "rise up" from the soil to be "reborn."
A blend for deep cellular restoration and longevity, or—rebuilding “jing” (life essence). Traditional Chinese Medicine believes the kidneys store this vital essence, and that once these stores are depleted (via chronic stress, over-work, and a variety of excessive habits), the body is more prone to premature aging, fatigue, infertility, and chronic disease.
