About this Product
This is one of our February 2022 Goimagine Challenge tea blends. It is made with a blend of Organic Rwandan Black Tea, spicy cinnamon & clove, dark chocolate, rose petals and calendula petals. The Rwandan Black tea produces notes of walnut and candied flavors which blends so well with the inclusions we selected. Add a little honey or sugar to bring out the spicy chocolate notes.
Empow[her] is one of two tea blends created in response to goimagine.com’s February Theme Challenge which was to Celebrate Women! International Women’s Day (March) is a day celebrating the historical, cultural, and political achievements of women around the globe.
Enjoy your tea…..honor the women in your life…..surround yourself with PHENOMENAL women!!!

How it’s Made
As with all of our other teas, our Empow[her] blend is also hand-blended using ingredients that are sourced from around the world. Blends are given at least a week for the flavors to "mingle" prior to packaging for optimum flavor. We strive to use organic ingredients when available. Follow us on social media for lots of recipes and tea how-to information.
But this one is a little more special. Each month Goimagine has a new challenge for its Makers. This tea blend was created with the February 2022 challenge in mind. This challenge was to Celebrate Women! International Women’s Day (March) is a day celebrating the historical, cultural, and political achievements of women around the globe.
With this in mind we created Empow[her] using a base of Organic Rwandan Black tea because it is produced by a co-op of 4,500 farmers who primarily employ women. It has candied flavor notes and walnut which blends so well with the inclusions we selected. We know women love chocolate and spicy notes of cinnamon and clove. But we also wanted to add some rose & calendula petals for eye appeal. Empow[her] label incorporates the power color RED and a quote from Maya Angelou (an actress, producer, writer, speaker, and civil rights activist, to name a few of her accomplishments). Be sure to google Maya Angelou for more information on this Empowered, Phenomenal Woman!!!
Enjoy your tea…..honor the women in your life…..surround yourself with PHENOMENAL women!!!
While you sip on a nice cup of tea, enjoy the subtle nuance of each of the flavors and just let your mind go and the ideas flow. And know that each blend has been carefully put together with a specific synergistic quality in mind.

We make every effort to get orders processed and shipped ASAP. However, at certain times of the year (ex. holidays) delivery times may be extended due to higher demand, vacation/holiday hours (for both us and our suppliers), and longer shipping times so plan accordingly and message us for current shipping times.
