Even Keel

A Botanical Tea

※

For Steady Days and Softer Edges

THE STORY.

Even Keel is made for after a long afternoon or during a little space between one thing and the next. It was created to help you find your footing as you face the stresses of everyday life. It is formulated with plants traditionally valued for calm, grounding, nourishment, and resilience.

But the first time I drank it, something happened that I hadn’t formulated for. Somewhere in the scent and taste of the tea, I was suddenly back with Applejack, the old Appaloosa I loved dearly as a child. I was reminded of long, carefree afternoons spent on his back and that particular feeling of being safe and entirely at home in the world.

Perhaps that shouldn’t have surprised me. Scent and taste have their ways of finding old doors. Even Keel was made to offer a little steadiness when life feels noisy or stretched thin—but a quiet cup of tea can sometimes give us something we weren’t looking for at all. It brought me back to a cream-colored mane gripped between my fingers. Where might it take you?


HOW TO USE.

For a cup: Add about 1 1/2 tablespoons of Even Keel to 12 oz freshly boiled water. Cover and steep for 10 minutes, then strain. (Keeping your tea covered while it steeps helps hold in the aromatic compounds that would otherwise escape with the steam.)

Enjoy as is, or add a little honey if you like. Take your time with it.


WHAT’S INSIDE.

Organic Tulsi / Holy Basil: A beloved herb in Ayurvedic tradition, tulsi has been used for centuries as a companion during times of stress and change. Deeply aromatic, warm, and slightly spicy, it gives Even Keel much of its distinctive character.

Organic Green Oat Flowering Tops: Harvested while the oat plant is still green and in flower, oat tops have a long tradition of use as a gentle, nourishing herb during periods of weariness and strain. Their soft, grassy sweetness gives Even Keel a wonderfully grounding body.

Organic Lemon Balm: Bright, lemony, and quietly cheerful, lemon balm has been treasured in European herbal traditions for centuries, particularly in preparations associated with calm and ease. Its aromatic leaves bring a fresh lift to the deeper green notes of the blend.

Organic Nettle Leaf: Mineral-rich nettle has a long history as both food and herb. Its deep green, almost earthy flavor gives Even Keel substance and helps anchor the softer aromatic herbs around it.

Organic Rose Petals: Rose has been woven through food, medicine, and ritual across cultures for centuries. Here, the petals lend a delicate floral note and a little softness to the cup.


Mindful Use.

Even gentle herbs aren’t right for everyone. Even Keel is not recommended if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to conceive. If you take medications (especially blood thinners or diabetes medications) or have a medical condition, consult a qualified healthcare professional before use. May cause drowsiness.
