In traditional Chinese medicine, dried orange peel — known as chen pi — has been used for centuries to aid digestion and balance energy. It has also been a symbol of luck and prosperity, often gifted during Lunar New Year celebrations.
Brewing is more than preparation — it’s a pause. Notice the aroma, the warmth of the cup, and the first sip. Each blend is an invitation to slow down and be present.
