Rose Quartz, a beautiful blend inspired by the rose quartz crystal. Properties of the crystal include healing of the heart + trauma, promotion of self-love + relationships, exuding calming energy + ridding spaces of negative energy. There are rose quartz crystals all over my home. I suggest them for the kitchen, bedroom + work spaces…anywhere you need/want loving energy.
🌹

This blend is a marriage of light, fresh sencha green tea, rose, peony + bright exotic papaya. It is refreshing + rich in antioxidants + vitamin c. The small alone is aromatherapy that can help with focus + mood. The addition of rose also helps to reduce stress, anxiety + inflammation.

Rose Quartz is an ode to love, the strength of gentleness, positivity + community. Enjoy + Be Well. - With love, Trista 🤍🫖

This is your sign to order the cake. Yep…just go ahead + do it. 😉

The Green Hills cake usually comes with cinnamon swiss meringue buttercream, but I’ve been getting a ton of request to make it with cream cheese icing. While I LOVE the SMBC (the cinnamon is so good in there), there’s something special + nostalgic about the classic.

Carrot cake filled + frosted with cream cheese icing.

Hey loves! This #FeelTheLoveFriday is a little different. The team over at @metaforbusiness selected 500 business owners on an all expense paid trip to Washington, DC for #MetaBoostGather2022…and I am a part of that group!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Back in February, I was contacted by Meta in consideration for Ora Teahouse + Bakery’s membership in the Boost with Facebook Leaders Network. I completed an interview process + was selected to join an amazing group of small to medium business owners as we learn from the Meta team + each other. This network is a community of leaders that have proven how Facebook + the other tools like Instagram have been successfully utilized for business development + growth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am looking forward to learning all that I can during my time in DC as well as making the most of the time we will receive to meet with policymakers on Capitol Hill. Always grateful…With love, Trista

Customer: Do the Bourbon Blondies actually contain bourbon or is it the vanilla. 👀

Me: Oh, yes. There’s actual bourbon in there. 👀 👀

Customer: Niiiiiice 😏

What’s your favorite flavor combinations? I think my top is caprese (I know…savory?!? Lol). Sweet, acidic, salty…it is such a perfect bite. Not too far behind that though is coffee and chocolate.

12 South: Mocha cake with coffee infused swiss meringue buttercream + dark chocolate ganache. Inspired by coffee dates in the 12South neighborhood of Nashville, TN.

I saw this cake coming out completely different in my mind, but my husband + I had a conversation just before this that changed the design. I used him as inspiration + this cake came out better than I imagined.

I also really want to try this on canvas because I love it so much!

The dreamer of the zodiac, if Pisceans (2/19-3/20) were a tea they’d be Amethyst. They are intuitive, sensitive, compassionate + full of wanderlust.

The crystal this tea is named after, Amethyst, is regarded as a dream stone. It helps with clarity, intuition, calm + spiritual awareness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Amethyst is gorgeous + well balanced with pu-erh, cardamom, cinnamon, fennel, lavender, butterfly pea blossoms, rose hip + clove. Just like my favorite Pisces, @theclarityshop, if you add something sour 🍋 to Amethyst it transforms + becomes more beautiful. Tag your favorite Pisces! ♓️

Tea spotlight: Sweet Epiphany

Sweet Epiphany is my version of Earl Grey. The traditional black tea + bergamot blend has been elevated with blue cornflowers to provide a floral finish. This tea is perfect for mornings or an afternoon pick me up without “the crash” many people experience after coffee.

Try it simply with lemon or with milk/milk alternative/cream. Stay tuned for a VDay recipe featuring Sweet Epiphany soon!
