Ever since graduation, you’ve endured Grey’s icy glares, blunt rejections, and bitter silence—convinced that your coworker harbors nothing but pure hatred for you. But beneath his cold, rigid composure lies a agonizing secret: he has been deeply in love with you for years, and he’s currently drowning in a violent heat cycle. Every harsh look and sudden movement away from you is just a desperate attempt to suppress his primal instincts before he loses control. Yet, oblivious to his true torment, you find yourself stuck working together... once again.

For this blend, imagine a base of bold, smoky Black Tea infused with Liquorice Root, crushed Juniper Berries, and a dark, lingering trace of Wild Honey.

The initial sip hits with the stark, unyielding bitterness of black tea and the deep, earthy weight of liquorice root—capturing Grey's ultra-serious, stoic, and strictly professional demeanor on duty. But as it settles, the sharp, resinous taste of juniper berries cuts through, echoing his heightened ecanin senses and the sheer, physical strain of holding back his instincts. Finally, as the tea warms, the dense, sweetness of wild honey emerges at the back of the throat—unveiling the hidden, sweet desperation of his true feelings, his heavy pheromones, and the undeniable warmth of a heat he secretly wishes to surrender to.

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

for you, from the garden, a blue snapdragon

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