About this Product

This is one of our February 2022 Goimagine Challenge tea blends.  It is made with a blend of Organic Rwandan Black Tea, spicy cinnamon & clove, dark chocolate, rose petals and calendula petals.  The Rwandan Black tea produces notes of walnut and candied flavors which blends so well with the inclusions we selected. Add a little honey or sugar to bring out the spicy chocolate notes.

Empow[her] is one of two tea blends created in response to goimagine.com’s February Theme Challenge which was to Celebrate Women! International Women’s Day (March) is a day celebrating the historical, cultural, and political achievements of women around the globe.  

Enjoy your tea…..honor the women in your life…..surround yourself with PHENOMENAL women!!!

How it’s Made

As with all of our other teas, our Empow[her] blend is also hand-blended using ingredients that are sourced from around the world.  Blends are given at least a week for the flavors to "mingle" prior to packaging for optimum flavor.  We strive to use organic ingredients when available.  Follow us on social media for lots of recipes and tea how-to information.

But this one is a little more special.  Each month Goimagine has a new challenge for its Makers.  This tea blend was created with the February 2022 challenge in mind. This challenge was to Celebrate Women! International Women’s Day (March) is a day celebrating the historical, cultural, and political achievements of women around the globe.  

With this in mind we created Empow[her] using a base of Organic Rwandan Black tea because it is produced by a co-op of 4,500 farmers who primarily employ women.  It has candied flavor notes and walnut which blends so well with the inclusions we selected.  We know women love chocolate and spicy notes of cinnamon and clove.  But we also wanted to add some rose & calendula petals for eye appeal.  Empow[her] label incorporates the power color RED and a quote from Maya Angelou (an actress, producer, writer, speaker, and civil rights activist, to name a few of her accomplishments).  Be sure to google Maya Angelou for more information on this Empowered, Phenomenal Woman!!!

Enjoy your tea…..honor the women in your life…..surround yourself with PHENOMENAL women!!!

While you sip on a nice cup of tea, enjoy the subtle nuance of each of the flavors and just let your mind go and the ideas flow. And know that each blend has been carefully put together with a specific synergistic quality in mind.

We want all of our customers to be happy with their purchases. If you purchase one of our regularly stocked products (excludes custom – see below regarding custom products) and are not happy with it please contact us.

We do not offer returns, refunds, or exchanges on custom orders unless there has been an in-house error. Custom orders would be a product that you have requested a specific blend of any of the following (but not limited to): teas, coffees, packaging, labeling. If you are sent the wrong product we will correct the issue.

Being that each product is blended and packaged at the time the order is placed, there is a minimum 48 business hour turn-around time for processing and shipping (some products may take up to 2 weeks for turn-around). Some custom blends may take more than 2 weeks turn-around time as some ingredients may need to be special order. Should a custom order have longer than a 2 week turn-around time we will contact you with the option to proceed or cancel the order prior to beginning production. We make every effort to get orders processed and shipped ASAP. However, at certain times of the year (ex. holidays) delivery times may be extended due to higher demand, vacation/holiday hours (for both us and our suppliers), and longer shipping times so plan accordingly and message us for current shipping times.

We are happy to ship to a PO Box. However, we are not responsible for packages left unclaimed at the post office.

Due to the nature of our products we advise having someone personally accept packages. Please be sure to provide a ship-to address that generally has someone present that can accept delivery. We are not responsible for packages left outside by any mail/package carrier. Nor are we responsible for packages that are not picked up or alternate delivery arrangements made once notice is left by the carrier about an attempted delivery of a package.

Any errors must be reported within 7 business days of receipt of the package. Please check your packages carefully when they arrive.

I ordered the two Maker Challenge teas — Empow(her) and Very Peri Creativi-Tea. Quick shipping, charming packaging, and lovely blends. And the color of Very Peri is a kick. :)

I am enjoying my first cup of brewed Sage Lavender White tea. What a lovely blend of white tea and botanicals. And a 2-ounce package of tea is a LOT more than it sounds. I'll be able to make at least 20 cups of tea. Good quality, fresh, nice packaging. Super maker/seller! Thanks much. ♥
