Healing Teas

The past few weeks, I have been working with Blissful Heights Healing Center. Blissful Heights is a rare gem in Birmingham, and I'm helping the center to promote business and package some new organic healing teas that they are offering for sale in their shop.

While designing the labels for the teas, I have learned so much more about teas than I knew prior to starting on this project! Did you know there was a such thing as a "Blooming Tea?" I...did not. They are quite beautiful.

Check out this photo (which I borrowed from www.artofteas.com).


This particular one is a white tea. If you are interested, you should really check out the website. Teas, etc. is another good site.

And since we are talking about teas, here is a photo I took in the shop at Blissful Heights. It is just of one, of the many, Asian-styled tea pots she has for sale.


The shop also carries a lovely line of jewelry called Satya. The pieces are elegant, unique and high quality.
