Foglia di salvia

I was worried dried sage would taste like dust, but this actually smells like the desert after rain when you open the bag. Steeped it about five minutes and got a strong, savory cup with just a hint of mint. Been drinking it every night this week.

My mug of this tea smells like I’m standing outside after a monsoon in the high desert, that dusty-sweet petrichor is exactly what I get. It’s become my afternoon ritual, and knowing it has antibacterial properties makes the robust flavor feel like a bonus.

The first time I brewed a cup, that earthy, rain-soaked desert aroma hit me instantly—exactly as described. It’s become my afternoon reset, and knowing it carries antibacterial properties makes it feel like more than just a tasty habit.
