The Philosophy of Simply Gorgeous

In a world that often celebrates complexity and intensity, Simply Gorgeous offers a different path—one of simplicity, beauty, and quiet elegance. This tea is a reminder that sometimes the most profound experiences are the simplest ones: a beautiful flower, a calming aroma, a moment of peace.

The name "Simply Gorgeous" captures this philosophy perfectly. There's no need for elaborate descriptions or complicated preparations. This tea is simply, undeniably gorgeous—in appearance, in aroma, in flavor, and in the experience it provides.

Premium White Tea: The Foundation of Calm

The foundation of Simply Gorgeous is premium Chinese white tea from Yunnan Province. White tea is the least processed of all tea types, consisting of young buds and leaves that are simply withered and dried in the sun. This minimal processing preserves the tea's natural antioxidants, delicate flavors, and gentle character.

White tea is celebrated for its smooth finish, natural sweetness, and low caffeine content (5-40mg per cup)—making it perfect for any time of day, including evening. The tea provides a gentle, calming base that allows the floral botanicals to shine without overwhelming the palate.

A Garden of Botanicals: Lavender, Rose, Hibiscus

To the white tea base, we've added three carefully selected botanicals that create a visually stunning and aromatic blend:

Dehydrated Lavender: Soothing and aromatic, lavender has been used for centuries to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and encourage restful sleep. Its floral, slightly herbaceous character adds calming depth to the blend. Lavender's purple hues also contribute to the tea's visual beauty.

Dehydrated Roses: Romantic and elegant, rose petals add a delicate floral sweetness and a touch of luxury. Roses have been associated with love, beauty, and self-care across cultures. Their soft pink color creates a beautiful contrast with the lavender and hibiscus.

Dehydrated Hibiscus: Tart and vibrant, hibiscus adds a gentle tartness that balances the floral sweetness of lavender and rose. Hibiscus is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, and its deep red color creates a stunning visual effect when steeped. The tartness prevents the tea from being overly sweet or cloying.

Tasting Notes: Floral, Calming, Beautifully Balanced

Appearance: A stunning blend of silvery-white tea leaves, purple lavender buds, soft pink rose petals, and deep red hibiscus flowers. The visual diversity is striking—this tea is as beautiful to look at as it is to drink.

Dry Leaf Aroma: Intoxicating floral bouquet dominated by lavender and rose, with hints of the white tea's natural sweetness. The aroma is calming and inviting.

Liquor Color: Soft pink to light purple, depending on steeping time and the ratio of botanicals. The color is delicate and beautiful, like a watercolor painting.

Aroma: The brewed tea releases a soothing bouquet of lavender, rose, and a whisper of tart hibiscus. The aroma is calming and romantic, evoking a blooming garden on a warm summer day.

Flavor: Light, calming, and beautifully balanced. The white tea provides a gentle, slightly sweet base with subtle vegetal notes. The lavender adds soothing floral character with a hint of herbaceousness. The rose petals contribute delicate sweetness and romantic elegance. The hibiscus brings gentle tartness that brightens the entire blend and prevents it from being too sweet. The overall effect is harmonious and calming—a tea that soothes the senses and invites relaxation.

Finish: Clean, refreshing, and slightly floral with a whisper of tartness. The finish is smooth and calming, leaving you feeling peaceful and centered.

Mouthfeel: Light-bodied and silky smooth, almost ethereal in its delicacy.

Brewing Guide: Creating Your Floral Escape

Water Quality: Use fresh, filtered water. Pure water allows the delicate flavors to shine.

Temperature: 175°F (79°C). This moderate temperature is perfect for white tea and allows the botanicals to release their aromatics without bitterness.

Ratio: 4 grams (approximately 2 teaspoons) per 8 oz (240ml) of water. The botanicals are light and fluffy, so they take up more volume.

Steeping Time: 4 minutes for the first infusion. Watch as the colors bloom in your cup—it's part of the experience.

Multiple Infusions: Good for 2-3 infusions. With each infusion, the flavor profile changes—you can experience secondary and tertiary notes as different elements come forward. The floral character will be most pronounced in the first infusion.

Serving: Enjoy plain to appreciate the tea's natural beauty and flavor. If desired, add a small amount of honey to enhance the sweetness, but this tea is lovely on its own.

Perfect Pairings: Light & Elegant

Seafood: Salmon, light fish, or shrimp—the tea's delicate character complements rather than competes.

Salads: Green salads with light vinaigrettes, fruit salads, or grain salads—the tea's clean finish refreshes the palate.

Rice Dishes: Sushi, rice bowls, or risotto—the tea's gentle character pairs well with rice's neutral flavor.

Desserts: Sorbet, macarons, shortbread cookies, or light fruit tarts—elegant, delicate desserts that match the tea's refined character.

Cheese: Brie, chèvre, or other soft, mild cheeses—the tea's floral notes complement creamy textures.

Time of Day: Perfect for any time, but especially wonderful in the afternoon or evening. The low caffeine content (5-40mg per cup) won't interfere with sleep, making this an ideal bedtime tea.

Health & Wellness Benefits

White Tea Antioxidants: Rich in polyphenols and catechins that support cellular health and combat oxidative stress.

Lavender Benefits: Traditionally used to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and support restful sleep. Lavender's calming properties make this tea perfect for evening rituals.

Rose Petals: Rich in antioxidants and traditionally used to support skin health and emotional well-being.

Hibiscus: High in vitamin C and antioxidants, traditionally used to support cardiovascular health and overall wellness.

Low Caffeine: Gentle energy that won't interfere with relaxation or sleep.

L-Theanine: From the white tea, promotes calm focus and mental clarity.

A Ritual of Self-Care

1. Create Your Space: Find a quiet, comfortable spot. Light a candle, play soft music, or simply enjoy the silence.

3. Inhale Deeply: Before sipping, inhale the floral aroma. Let the lavender and rose calm your nervous system.

4. Sip Slowly: Don't rush. Take small sips, noticing the flavors, the warmth, the sensation. Let each sip be a moment of presence.
