Looking out across the small valley, trees look like they belong in a winter wonderland postcard. The fields’s various rises and hollows are rounded out in a fresh blanket of snow. The noise of cars going by on the nearby road is muted, somehow quieter. Cedar-tiled rooftops are dusted in snow as it collects in nooks and crannies, lending a gingerbread-style appearance to the slanted rooflines.
Underneath it all, the plant kingdom sleeps. Bulbs that require overwintering are preparing for spring. Seeds that require freezing, are preparing to grow. Grass hibernates, as do various members of the animal kingdom who hibernate beneath snow’s insulating blanket.
Watching the snow flakes fall in varying sizes, watching it gather into and smooth over holes, hilly lumps and bumps in the path, and watching the breeze blow it into snowdrifts, reminds us of drifting off to sleep ourselves. We lay our heads on our pillows, close our eyes, and if all is right in our world, we drift off into a peaceful dreamland where our bodies can repair, recover, refresh, and prepare us for another day.
Such are the thoughts, feelings, and inspiration behind our new wildcrafted looseleaf tea: Snow Drift. Various foods and herbs God has created, help the body in calming down, calming the nerves, the brain, the muscles, the digestive system, and more. We’ve chosen some of those herbs from the wild that are known to aid in sleep and calming, and combined them into this slightly zippy-flavoured, soothing, mellow tea.
If you’re looking for something to help you wind down and sleep at night, consider giving Snow Drift a try. You can purchase a bag of it right here on the website, or in person at one of the various craft and holistic fairs we attend. Check our calendar for where we will be next to try a sip sample of this tea in person, or to buy a cup to drink as you wander the fair’s other vendors.
Let the peacefulness that comes with looking out over untouched fields and forests covered in snow, wash over your own mind and body as you enjoy a cup of the latest tea to our line-up, Snow Drift.
