One such is the Philosopher’s Brew, a blend dubbed as an herbal “tea of enlightenment.” The unique blend of lemongrass, citrus peel, rosehips and lavender blossoms invoke Asian-inspired aromas from the lemongrass and citrus, however, the floral components provide a Northwestern feel and warmth to the glass. Bright and piquant, the blend might incite some additional thinking and theorizing to your day.
