Shu pu’er tea blended with peppermint, spearmint, fennel, cinnamon, burdock, and tulsi.
Grounding, deep, contemplative. Celadon is the color of a still forest pond lit by moonlight, and this tea blend is inspired by that feeling.
Sweet, smooth shu pu’er aged nearly a decade is the base to this blend- already naturally cooling and grounding, the tulsi, mint and cinnamon bring out even deeper complexity. We love to brew this up after big meals or long days as a way to transition into the quiet of evening. Celadon also makes a fantastic cold brew!

Steeped this one up on Thursday when it was grey, cold and heavily rainy all day. Truthfully I think it’s the weather that pulled me towards this blend and a few others teas that amplify that taste and feeling. It was the notes of earthy shou puerh and crisp and forest-y herbal ingredients like fennel, burdock, and different mints – peppermint, spearmint, and tulsi – that I wanted. Flavours ofnature, if you will. It feels very much like it rides the line between that moment of cool, fresh air and calm before a thunderstorm and the sweet, natural petichor that floods the nose from everything that’s been left soaked by the rain in the moments after.

Sipdown! (18 | 54)
So this is the same ingredient mix as Mauve – peppermint, spearmint, fennel, burdock, and tulsi – but this one has a shou puerh base instead of green tea. There’s also an herbal version (Laurel) that I haven’t gotten to yet. This tea does have cinnamon as well though, which the others do not.
It definitely tastes similar to Mauve, but I like this one better. I can taste the actual tea much more, and I like how the earthy shou brings out more of the burdock. I really like burdock root in Japanese food, like the classic kinpira gobo, so it’s fun to recognize it in a tea. The shou adds a nice rich and earthy base, but the freshness of the mint helps to lighten it up a bit and keeps it from being funky. The fennel and cinnamon add a bit of sweetness as well. I really like the combination of mint and warm spices together, it has such an exotic quality to me.
Anyway, very nice tea for relaxing as it has such a refreshing and cooling vibe to it. It tastes like something that’s good for you, but in a very enjoyable way. I would consider ordering this one again. :)

Your knowledge of ingredients and cuisine blows my mind. I don’t know that I have ever had burdock root. Nor have I heard of kinpira gobo. You are amazing!
Gaaaaaah don’t be silly! I just happen to really love Japanese food ha ha, and I go through phases of doing bento for lunch so I’ve collected a lot of recipes. Kinpira Gobo is just julienned burdock root that you braise/stir-fry in a skillet with classic Japanese ingredients like soy sauce, mirin, etc. It’s easy and super good, definitely recommend giving it a try if you can find burdock root at an Asian grocery! It looks sort of like a super long and skinny parsnip with a bit more hair ha ha. Not very appetizing but it has a lovely and unique earthy flavor!
I will try to make a special trip to our Asian market and give it a try! I do grow a few greens to throw in miso soup, mostly for my lunch but sometimes with Ashman, too.
Thanks to you I learned to make eggplant. Iso soup. Aaah, so good!
