Cacao Wishes & Peppermint Dreams

At the beginning of this journey, Tea and I agreed to see each other on a daily basis. Now here at Day 9, it feels like a budding romance. 

Gentle readers, dare I say, I may be falling for Tea in a big way. Time will tell, but his powers of seduction have proven to have me under his spell thus far. 

This morning once I was roused from bed and took my first sip, it felt like falling straight into a winter storybook.

The tea of the day is Snow Day from Asheville Tea Company — a blend of cacao nibs, peppermint, marshmallow root, and marshmallow leaf. And from the very first sip, I understood exactly why they named it that.

This tea tastes like hot chocolate that went on vacation to visit a peppermint forest, where it camped out all night amongst the snowflakes and falling stars. It gives cozy vibes and a bit of comfort wrapped in a tin of whimsy — winter magic in a mug.

The moment the steam rose, the aroma felt like sweet memories mingling with new-found wisdom: a bit nostalgic and undeniably enchanting. 

If this tea could be described as a person, it would be a sweet librarian, who reads wonderful tales aloud at a Singles Meet Up Story Time to patrons while they sip their very first tea at this event in the library. She would be known as Mrs. Agnes Pitterpat, she would of course have two cats, named Buttons and Mushroom and she would love to knit and crochet. She would be the grandmother we would all love to have and those lucky enough to attend her library events would remember her as an integral and cherished part of their evening. She would have just a touch of magic, which everyone always suspected.

Let's Meet Up with this Magical Blend of Cacao, Peppermint & Marshmallow

Cacao Nibs — The Earthy Heart-Opener - the heart chakra (cacao)

Cacao is ancient, sacred, and emotionally expansive. Physically, it boosts mood, offers gentle energy, and brings minerals that nourish the nervous system. Cacao opens the heart, encourages emotional honesty, and invites joy. It’s grounding and uplifting — the elder plant that says, “In softness, there lies strength.” 

Peppermint — The Breath of Winter - the third eye & throat (peppermint)

Fresh, bright, clearing, peppermint sweeps through your system like a crisp breeze, waking you up without overwhelming you. Energetically, it clears the mind, activates intuition, and refreshes the emotional body. In this blend, instead of being bold and assertive (like in pure peppermint tea), it becomes playful and light— like a snowflake dancing around the fire.

Marshmallow Root & Leaf — The Great Softener - the root & sacral (marshmallow root)

Marshmallow gives Snow Day its velvety feel. It soothes digestion, hydrates tissues, and relaxes tension. Spiritually, it’s the healer of rough edges — the one that brings comfort and  compassion. It's an emotional balm that gives the energetic vibes of being tucked in under a warm soft blanket.

Combined together, these botanicals create a tea that carries the frequency of  delight, coziness and winter wonder. It reminds you that magic doesn’t disappear — it just changes form.

I recommend this warmth of hot chocolate… this refreshment of peppermint… and this softness of marshmallow tea for:

Snow days
Rainy days
Fireplace roaring and soup on the stove days
Curling up with a good book days
and at a Singles Meet Up Story Time at the library, if one ever comes across such an offering!

A Snow Day doesn’t have to involve actual snowfall, it's simply a day where you let yourself be soft. Where you choose warmth over hurry. Where you remember that joy can be simple… and sweet… and steaming in a mug.

Here’s to winter magic, cozy spells, and the sweet enchantment of letting life be light.

With warmth and deep intention, your tea-totaling sommelier,
