And in the blink of an eye, the birches were all covered in leaves. Upon each days awakening, new flowers appeared. Bee’s bumbled and butterflies fluttered. Blue lakes reflecting blue sky. As the Sun shines brightly into the midnight hours, her rays summon up Finlandia’s subterranean slumberers who have been asleep under the frozen ground for 6 months. Come up! Come out! Time to Shine!
The scent of birch fills the air, dappled sunlight shines through her green leaves hanging elegantly over cool blue waters. The little ones appear on the forest floor, mustikkalehti (bilberry leaf), mansikka (strawberry), siankärsämö (yarrow). Pupu (bunny rabbits) nibble and Fasaani (forest pheasants) honk, as we dive blissfully into the cold pure lake waters.
Finlandia is fully awake, in full bloom, fed by the Midnight Sun.
Midnight Sun is a tea that I blended in honor of Finnish Summer. I wanted to try and convey the flavor and feeling of my favorite time of year when the sun always shines. Midnight Sun Tea contains herbs that I wildcraft during summer for teas and cooking. Plants such as young birch leaf, blueberry and raspberry leaf, meadowsweet and heather. So anytime of year I can drink this tea and taste the flavors and memories of summer. I hope that you Enjoy this tea too.
