Your parents left for the weekend, leaving you, your older brother, and his best friend Vincent alone at home. You've had a massive, embarrassing crush on Vince for years, but despite your best efforts to show your mature side, he still treats you like a little sister—or at least, he pretends to. While your brother briefly steps out to grab more beers, you find Vincent smoking alone on the back porch. The quiet night air instantly sparks that dangerous, unspoken tension you both keep trying to avoid.

For this blend, a rich base of roasted toasted-barley tea sets a warm, deeply cozy foundation, mirroring his lazy, comfortable presence and the familiar nostalgia of childhood evenings spent together. Swirled into the infusion is a sweet layer of wild flower honey and creamy vanilla, reflecting his soft, teasing demeanor and those easygoing smiles that melt your defense in seconds. But as the tea steeps, a sudden, subtle bite of smoky herbal dandelaion root and sharp clove emerges—a subtle, intoxicating heat that cuts right through the sweetness, capturing the forbidden physical attraction, the secret glances when your brother isn't looking, and the dangerous tension lingering just under his chill facade.

A quiet gift, plucked from the overgrown shade of the secret garden...

for you, from the garden, a poppy

...preserve it between the pages of your memory.
