As winter begins to soften and the days slowly grow longer, Imbolc marks a powerful turning point in the Wheel of the Year. Celebrated in early February, Imbolc honors the returning light, the first stirrings of spring, and the sacred flame of Brigid, goddess of hearth, healing, poetry, and inspiration.
We love honoring seasonal shifts through intentional rituals, and one of our favorite ways to do that is with tea and herbs. A thoughtfully crafted tea blend can be both a comforting daily practice and a quiet act of magic, an invitation to slow down, reflect, and tend the sparks of what’s beginning to grow.
