Brew up a little spicy tribute to the one, the only Remedios Varo.

This is a tea of quiet magic, strange visions, and surreal warmth—a cup for those who walk between dreams and waking, art and alchemy, myth and reality. The perfect sip for stirring the imagination and opening the senses.

Tasty Notes:

  • Warm & Spiced – Cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg create a rich, comforting heat.
  • Earthy & Smooth – Rooibos adds a silky, grounding base, balancing the bold spices.
  • Aromatic & Mystical – Cardamom brings an exotic, fragrant note, like a secret spell whispered in a dream.

Ingredients:

Ginger – Fire, transformation, and artistic rebellion.
Cinnamon – Mysticism, alchemy, and a touch of enchantment.
Rooibos – The grounding force beneath the surreal—warm, earthy, yet infinite.
Cloves – Protection, deep vision, and creative intensity.
Cardamom – Mystical insight, exotic journeys, and sensory magic.
Nutmeg – Dreams, hidden knowledge, and altered perception.

When to Drink This Tea:

  • Before creative work or dreaming—to tap into the surreal & symbolic.
  • On cool evenings—when warmth and inspiration are needed.
  • With a journal, paintbrush, or book of myths—to let the mind wander into new realms.

 

BREW PER YOUR FAVOR:

Steep for 5–7 minutes for a mild, spiced warmth, or 10 minutes for a deeper, more alchemical intensity.

Sweeten with honey or vanilla to enhance the dreamlike warmth.
