Lavender — the calm one
The bud that earned Calm Queen her name. Floral and honeyed, lavender has been the evening sip of slow hours for centuries. A little goes far — it shares the cup politely.

How to brew a proper cup
Water, not fire
Just-off-the-boil for most blends — a bare simmer for green tea. Scalded leaves go bitter; patient water goes sweet.
Cover the cup
Keep a lid on it while it steeps — the volatile notes stay in the cup instead of escaping with the steam.
Steep 5–7 minutes
Botanicals are slower than tea leaves. Let them take their time; a tea timer is a ritual, not a chore.
Sip it slow
This part is not optional. The ritual is the point — the cup is just the vehicle.
Make it a ritual
A morning reset looks like: warm water first, Morning Glow while the house is still quiet, lashes placed with the light low. An evening exhale: Calm Queen, the satin bonnet, the journal. Ritual is just self-care that kept its promise.
