Steeped in the Greater Good

Today’s tea felt less like a drink and more like attending a very important gathering.

The tea is Creano Hot Ingwer — known for its spicy, and fruity nature — and as I steeped it, I had the distinct sense that each ingredient had arrived with a purpose.

This was not a casual meeting. This was a summit. A gathering of botanicals convened in this conference to discuss one thing only: How shall we warm, restore, and strengthen the human today?

At this Conference, the attendees were as listed...

Ginger (30%) She arrived first, of course. She is the keynote speaker. The one with fire in her voice and heat in her hands. Ginger believes in circulation, movement, and waking things up that have gone sluggish. 

Black Pepper (8%) follows close behind — sharp, precise, and unafraid. He is Ginger’s ally in action. Where Ginger encourages, Pepper insists. He opens pathways, increases absorption, and makes sure the message actually lands.

Together they create the famous spicy kick — the warming pulse that makes this tea perfect for cold days, tired bodies, and moments when you need your inner fire relit.

Liquorice Root (15%) takes the seat of moderator. Smooth-voiced and grounding, she ensures that no one overwhelms the system. She sweetens the conversation, harmonizes the group, and reminds everyone that the meeting should feel supportive, not aggressive.

White Hibiscus (15%) and Hibiscus (4%) arrive together, dressed in deep red and soft rose. They bring vitality and brightness to the room. They speak of circulation, renewal, and the importance of beauty in healing modalities.

Fennel (14%) adjusts his glasses and clears his throat. He is the digestion specialist, ensuring that all this spice settles properly. He keeps things flowing, comfortable, and balanced and ensures that there's no chaos in the lower halls of the body while this conference is in session.

Turmeric (5%) enters like an elder scholar. Golden-robed and wise, she speaks quietly but carries deep knowledge of inflammation, immunity, and long-term resilience. When Turmeric talks, everyone listens.

Galangal (2%) — her cousin — brings an exotic edge. He carries the frequency of distant roots and ancient kitchens. His role is subtle but important: he strengthens Ginger’s voice and adds complexity to the blend’s intelligence.

Roasted Chicory Root sits near the back, grounding the room. Earthy. Anchoring. Deep.
He reminds everyone that this formula must land in the body, not just the mind.

And finally, Apple arrives with a basket of snacks. She brings fruitiness and approachability. She reminds the group that the mix should taste like something you want to return to again.

Together, this assembly creates something far greater than any one voice:

A tea that:
• warms from the inside
• awakens digestion
• supports circulation
• strengthens immunity

This is not a gentle whisper of a tea. It is a healing conversation.

Dear Reader, as I drank this tea, it did not feel comforting or relaxing. This tea arrives with warmth first — spicy, spreading through the chest and belly like a slow-burning fire. Then comes a hint of sweetness with a very grounded finish. I didn't feel as if I was sipping tea, I felt as if I was taking medicine.  It was a different experience, I didn't think ah, that's refreshing and insightful, instead I thought, hmm, this is probably very good for me so I should drink it. 

As I finished the cup, I imagined the delegates standing together, offering their final statement from their summit saying,  “Healing happens when many intelligences gather, communicate and cooperate.” And that felt true, not just about tea, but about most things in life. 

Here’s to spice summits, botanical conferences, and the wisdom that happens when many  agree to gather and participate for the greater good.
