OCTEAVIA: detoxifying + relaxing butterfly pea flower + ginger + hibiscus
Our stress soothing liquid love letter to OCTAVIA E. BUTLER, the renowned author who received the MacArthur “Genius” Award & many more!
Among her numerous acclaimed award-winning novels are THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER (New York Times Notable Book of the Year) and PARABLE OF THE TALENTS (Nebula Award for the Best Science Fiction). Her lean prose, strong protagonists and social observations make her the mother of Afro-Futurism. Period.
WHAT WE LOVE:
"This exciting tart, gingery tea steeps into a deep beautiful royal purple colour. When you add LEMON it instantly changes colour into a galactic fuchsia! We hope Octavia would be proud."
~Sunyatta
