Of all our packages, Circe appears to be the most straightforward in its storytelling, but that doesn’t take away from the detail and beauty of this illustration! On the front, we see Circe lounging in her palace, sipping on a hot cup of herbal tea in front of an ornate stained-glass window. This pays homage to the Circe Saga album art and offers a glimpse into the beauty that lies within Circe’s palace.

On the back of this packaging, we see the gorgeous night sky outside the stained-glass window, with stars painted across the sky. Sleeping soundly underneath is the large figure of Circe’s chimera. All three heads snooze lazily and snuggle up, perhaps tuckered out after a hard fight with Odysseus’ cyclops.

Also! Did you know that the signature displayed on the front of the packaging was signed by the voice of the character? For Circe, @Talya wrote up this adorable signature that features a small ball of magic for the dot on the "i"! All collaborators are credited on the back in beautiful gold foil, just to show how much we value their assistance in making this one-of-a-kind product. 

To celebrate a year of EPIC Teas, ALL of our teas in the EPIC: The Musical Collection are now 30% off! Go buy your tea before they sell out!
