At Eye of the Sun we love tea parties – any excuse for a celebration of the senses! Why not get a group of special friends together to share in the joy of life? You might want to pick one tea blend to feature and enjoy or make up a number of blends and do a tea tasting (kind of like a wine tasting – an intoxicating experience without the need for alcohol!) Work with the messages and energy of the blends – perhaps use this to start a group discussion. Trust the process and see where it leads you! We have had some incredible experiences around the sharing of a blend in this way. To enhance the experience even further, you might want to match the blend with savouries, cakes, cookies, muffins or scones that compliment the flavours. We love creating and experimenting with recipes that utilize the tea blends in all different forms – grind them down and add them like a spice or make them up as a strong liquor and replace liquids such as water in recipes. Show your friends you care by making the effort to create a unique and magical experience for them. We would love to hear about your experiences too – drop us a line!
