I’m not your normal tea drinker until I met Sips. I usually take showers but last night I drew a hot bath with lavender oils and had a cup of one of your delicious calming teas and spent a joyous time relaxing.
I put on my pajama set, laid down and fell asleep. It was the most restful sleep I’ve had in ages. Even my dogs and cat benefited from it. They sense me being calm and collected and even they calm down.
Thank you so much for introducing me to a much calmer existence. In our world today, most of us need this.
