Spiced tea and mead for the Winter Solstice

Now a year’s worth of cinnamon, nutmeg, or black pepper, can be acquired for less than a day’s wages, brought halfway round the world in hours or days on a journey that once took months, fraught with danger.

Some tea bags shed plastic fragments into brew

Some tea bags may be releasing plastic particles into brewed tea that make their way into the environment with potential consequences to marine life. Health consequences to humans are reported as unlikely but also unknown.

The Tea Drinking Witches of Flint

FLINT, Mich. — In October, the Witches Tea Flint hosted not one but two successful events to raise money for Domestic Violence Awareness in October. Witches Tea Flint is organized by Davonna, Amaunet, and Viki, all from the Greater Flint Area. Originally planned as a single event, the first tea event sold out in just eleven days: so they added a second event that sold out as well. Partnering with their local YWCA of the Greater Flint Area,  the two Witch Tea Flint events and managed to raise over $800.  The events were so well-received; they have decided to do more events.
