prickly pear jelly tangy prickly pear • fresh lemon • sweet apple Made with less sugar and more nature! Prickly Pear is the fruit of the Nopal Cactus.

CONNECTING WITH NATURE being surrounded by nature affects your mental and physical health. ☀️🌲🌸 🌿 nature heals, restores, and connects 🌿 The sounds of the forest, the scent of the trees, the sunlight playing through the leaves, the fresh, clean air-these things give us a sense of comfort, there's no doubt about it.

Nature helps us reflect on our own lives and our connections with others through inducing feelings like awe, wonder, and reverence,...
MAY 2021 Happy May friends! It looks like I spoke too soon about the melting snow last month, as a few parts of the country, including New Mexico, saw some April snow. BUT - I am definitely hoping for some May flowers for everyone this May! During the month of April, the staff of most of our stores (a couple are meeting in May!) had the opportunity to shut down the store for the day for a retreat filled with lots of fun, training, and quality time with each other. We learned so much about the products we sell in our stores, and I know I am rejuvenated and excited for our extended tea family (you) to learn about them...
