“Morning, Sleepyhead”—you were talking in your sleep again. Something about a ship? Or a sheep? I wasn’t really listening. I was busy making this for you!
It’s a little cup of paradise. The base is a beautiful Kenyan purple tea, the kind that glows when the light hits it just right, like the ocean at dusk. I also added brown sugar because it captures the warmth of the sand when it’s been kissed by the sun all day, and passionfruit because... well, because it's bright, and golden, and a little intense—like me. Lastly, the papaya is there for balance. It’s sweet and gentle and safe, like an eternal island sunrise…
Anyways, it’s truly my island captured in a cup, meant for those who are looking to greet the day with open eyes and an easy heart. Take a sip, take some time, and if you end up staying for one more cup…I’ll be here.

Steeping Instructions
I was unsure about this tea at first, but it blew my expectations out of the water. 1: ITS BLUE. Like genuinely blue. so cool. (Picture is having steeped for a minute, it gets a little darker.) 2: It's good for at least two brews (steeped for 3m the first, 5 the second). 3: Good summer tea, I'm excited to try it iced. Its sweet, but not overwhelmingly. Quite fruity, with a somewhat darker aftertaste. For sweetener I think brown sugar or agave would be best, or a very mild honey
Another winner from the Epic collaboration! This tea brews up into a fragrant teal/green tea with sweet papaya and gentle floral notes that only needs a touch of honey to sweeten it. As it cools, it becomes a beautiful amber color and the papaya notes become bolder and mask the floral notes the tea initially brews with. If you want to use this tea in a blend then I recommend either leaning into other fruit white teas (hot with a splash of milk or creamer) or floral black teas (iced with honey).
Thank you for your lovely review!
Your teapot is gorgeous and I love the recipe suggestions. I haven't tried this one iced yet myself and you've inspired me to make a cup today! I'm glad you're enjoying it.

During my first time trying I had a hard time steeping the tea with larger leaves and ended up under and then over steeping, I then had it again and though it’s not my favorite of the epic teas it is very good in its own right, though I though it would be sweeter
