Join us as Michelle journeys through the world of liquid wellness. She’s reviewing teashops from around the country while sharing the health benefits of this delicious ancient elixir.
What happens when jasmine, lavender, and rose fall in love? If they meet at Teaberry’s in Kelowna, they make a new tea baby and name it Sharon’s Shiatsu blend.
The midwives of this magical creation were Sharon (surprise!) and Julie Johnson. When Sharon was changing careers to de-stress her life, she wanted a special zing for her therapeutic healing practice. In 2008 she wandered into the shop and described her vision for wellness to Julie. Together, they played with blends of organic ingredients until. . . ta da! Welcome to the world, Sharon’s Shiatsu Blend.
They chose a green tea base for its health qualities. Next came jasmine for its calming yet uplifting tendencies. The lavender has a relaxing effect, while the rose does double duty, bringing both antidepressant and anti-inflammatory properties. The result is magical.
But you don’t need to believe in chakras or alignment to feel the power of Sharon’s Shiatsu Blend: this baby’ll balance you anyway.
And if lavender and jasmine aren’t your . . . ahem, cup of tea . . . stop by anyway. Tiny Teaberry’s overflows with more than 150 delicious blends. Julie sources from German suppliers to tap into their high quality standards—the European organic designation isn’t bestowed lightly, nor is another confidence-inspiring category, “Clean”, indicating tea leaves free of substantial chemical residue.
Teaberry’s is the only place in the world you’ll find Sharon’s Shiatsu Blend. So click your heels—virtual or realtime—to delight in it. Or meet with Julie to create your own new blend.
Who knows what tea babies are there waiting for you to conceive.
