Citrus Sunset Rooibos

Introducing our Honesty (Gwekwaadziwin) Tea, a symphony of flavours that capture the essence of honesty grounded in truth—a life-affirming aspect of nature and balance core to the values of the Seven Grandfather Teachings.

The harmonious combination of rooibos, orange peel, chicory, and natural flavour forms a delicate yet earthy flavour profile that not only awakens the senses but also provides soothing properties for promoting good health and reducing inflammation.

In alignment with the principle of honesty found in the Seven Grandfather Teachings, our Honesty Tea embodies the foundational values of nurturing mutual relationships rooted in fairness, and it pays tribute to the autonomy and agency of individuals while respecting the stories and ethics that are distinctive to people and their environments.

Profoundly valuing the importance of honesty within oneself and in interactions with others, a characteristic inherent in the intricate life systems of Mother Earth, this virtue continues to be profoundly esteemed and an integral component of crafting meaningful and enriching stories among people from all walks of life.
