I have a love for putting seaweed in tea. Not quite as strong a love as combining the various spices used in chai with as many foundational teas as I can, but...
...Engineering Spaces is one of those teas. And there's a smidge in the Sale Bin now.

And now we have a lot (3.3 oz) of Sanctuary (the things that happen when I forget to make a sampling batch rather than a normal one when filling sample orders) - an organic blend of barley, hawthorn berries, and lemon balm.
