“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.
