Ritual of the Night (Optional)
As the tea steeps, speak aloud:
 
“From shadow’s edge and moonlit gloom,
I sip the night, I taste the bloom.”
 
Enjoy by candlelight, accompanied by the whisper of turning pages or the hush of a storm-heavy sky.
 
 
DIRECTIONS:
These easy to follow directions are included in your package. 
1. Bring 8oz of water to a boil.
2. Place 1 heaping teaspoon of the loose tea blend into a tea bag or tea infuser. You can place the loose tea directly into a teapot or cup to steep but you will need to strain it before you drink the tea.
3. Pour boiling water over the loose tea and let steep 2 -5 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea, in a covered cup with hot water for maximum flavor. Covering, helps prevent any flavors from escaping in the form of steam.
4. Remove the loose tea and sweeten if desired.
5. Enjoy!
