An earthy, yet ethereal, palate cleansing tea that can help to refresh, renew, and refocus your mind in times of turmoil. The Star is a blend of Chinese snow tea (not a traditional tea and contains no caffeine), amaranth petals, peppermint, and edible dark-silver glitter*(Additional ingredient information listed below).
The Star tends to appear in readings after a particularly tough spot in life, as a sign of optimism and healing for the future. Just like its astral namesake, this card is proof that even in the darkest spots, light has a way of shining through. The Star also reminds us that strength does not necessarily come from outside of us, but instead comes from within. Sitting down in a calm, quiet, contemplative place with a cup of The Star might just the thing to inspire hope for endeavors ahead.

*Our teas are less processed with no sugar added, so a healthy pinch (between your thumb, index, and middle fingers) is perfect for a cup of tea.

Depending on how strong you like your tea, you can also steep our tea leaves multiple times because of the quality.
