Garden Hour

from $6.00

Garden Hour is a soft green herbal infusion layered with lemon balm, mint, and bright garden botanicals. The blend is gentle, fresh, and balanced, offering a calm herbal body with a subtle citrus lift.

Inspired by the quiet pause of late afternoon in the garden, this tea reflects the moment when the day begins to slow and the warmth of the sun softens across the landscape. Lemon balm and mint bring freshness, while calendula and nettle create a grounded herbal structure.

Within the Core Collection, Garden Hour serves as the midday garden tea — a steady, refreshing infusion designed for slow afternoons and moments of rest between the rhythms of the day.
