Tea Collection
“The Gallipot”
“Camellia Sinensis” ☕︎
The tea plant - origin to green, black and oolong tea.
This plant combines the complex chemical and biological relationships between environmental toxins and herbological remedies.
Camellia Sinensis has proved itself to be a solution within this industrial age. From pesticides to smoke, fungi to ‘forever chemicals’, green tea provides a remedy.
A focus on the Earth, natural remedies and simple luxury. There is richness in the ordinary.
Green tea both reduces the production of oxidant chemicals formed from the toxins, and introduces anti-oxidant chemicals to further combat oxidative stress and its damages to DNA and cellular structures.
Luxury is as Rebecca Lindenberg states in Catalogue of Ephemera, “You give me an apartment full of morning smells-toasted bagel and black coffee and the freckled lilies in the vase on the windowsill.”
Health and protection are all around us as long as we nurture it.
“Matricaria Chamomilla” ☕︎
German Chamomile - origin to Chamomile tea.
Chamomile shares this anti-oxidant property that green tea uses in the reduction of environmental toxin harm.
“O, to take what we love inside,
to carry within us an orchard, to eat
not only the skin, but the shade,
not only the sugar, but the days, to hold
th fruit in our hands, adore it,
then bite into the round jubilance of peach.”
From Blossoms by Li-Young Lee
Growing these plants within your home can provide you with both herbological remedies to daily environmental toxins, and spiritual protection and connection through floriography.
Chamomile represents ones ability to thrive in adverse conditions. A sign of health and perseverance.
