🕯️Sample Tea Update🕯️

Shipping was going to cost nearly $5 per package, so we won't be able to mail the free samples after all.

If you'd still like yours, we're happy to meet in Andover Square if schedules line up. We'll be available Friday, June 12th, and Sunday, June 14th, in the afternoon this week.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

Send us a message if you're interested! 🍵🕯️

The online shop has been updated.

Several new teas have found their way onto the shelf, including a few fresh blends from the Candle Keeper's workshop.

If you'd like to take a look, the door is open:

The kettle is warm, and there's always room for one more cup. 🍵🕯️

🕯️ A little behind-the-scenes look at how new teas arrive from the Candle Keeper...

When he finishes a blend, it usually shows up in a plain paper bag sealed with real candle wax. We carefully remove the wax, create the front and back labels, and get everything ready for the shelf.

The Candle Keeper doesn't do any labeling. He tells us the tea's name, the ingredients, and then leaves the rest to the assistants. 😄

It's also why he usually releases only one new tea at a time.

🕯️ Emberberry Blend Update 🫐🍓

The response to the Candle Keeper's newest hand blended tea has been wonderful.

When we visited the cabin, he handed us 10 sample bags of Emberberry Blend and instructed us to share them with our loyal followers before the official release.

Most have already been claimed, and we now have only 3 sample bags remaining.

If you would like one, send us a message with your mailing address.

📦 Everything will be carefully packaged today and sent out with tomorrow morning's mail.

As a small surprise, everyone who receives an Emberberry Blend sample will also receive one free sample of the Candle Keeper's signature hand blended Midnight Cabin Tea. 🌙

A little taste of something new... and a little taste of the blend that started it all.

For those who missed the original announcement:

Emberberry Blend is a warm black tea hand blended with blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, and a touch of lemon myrtle. It was created for campfires, quiet evenings, and those moments when life feels a little too busy.

The Candle Keeper says some teas are meant to wake you up.

Emberberry Blend was made to help you slow down.

First come, first served. Once these final three samples are claimed, they'll be gone until the full release.

🕯️ The lantern is lit.
🍓 The berries are packed.

🕯️ Sorry in advance for the long post... but we managed to catch the Candle Keeper today and came away with three different updates before he disappeared back into the woods.

He only spoke with us briefly, saying he had "much work to do," but here's what we learned:

🍓🫐 Update #1: A New Tea Blend Has Arrived

Emberberry Blend is ready.

A warm black tea with the sweetness of berries and a hint of campfire comfort.

Hand blended with black tea, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, and a touch of lemon myrtle, this tea was created for quiet evenings, crackling fires, and moments when the world feels just a little too busy.

The first sip brings bright berry notes. The last sip leaves behind the comforting warmth of a good black tea.

🌙 Perfect for:
• Morning reflection
• Campfires and cabin nights
• Reading by candlelight
• Anyone who enjoys berry teas with a rich, comforting finish

The Candle Keeper says some teas are meant to wake you up.

Emberberry Blend was made to help you slow down.

Before it is released to the online store, he handed us 10 sample bags and instructed us to give them to loyal followers first.

Well... technically there are only 9 available because we may have already claimed one for ourselves. 🙂

If you'd like a free sample of Emberberry Blend, comment below. First come, first served.

🌙 Update #2: Midnight Cabin Returns

Another batch of the Candle Keeper's hand blended Midnight Cabin Tea will be ready tomorrow.

For those who have been patiently waiting, the lantern remains lit.

🌿 Update #3: Something New on the Research Table

A wonderful neighbor recently passed along some American Sarsaparilla leaves after hearing about the Candle Keeper's interest in traditional woodland plants and herbal teas.

The leaves are now resting on the workbench beside the lantern while research begins.

American Sarsaparilla has a long history in folk herbalism and has traditionally been used as:

🍃 A tonic
🍃 An immune-supporting herb
🍃 A restorative herbal infusion
🍃 A traditional woodland cleanser

It is naturally caffeine-free and known for its smooth, earthy woodland flavor.

As always, the Candle Keeper researches, tests, and gathers notes before deciding whether something belongs on the shelf. For now, this is simply a promising discovery and one he is excited to learn more about.

Some of the best things that arrive at the cabin begin with the kindness of a neighbor.

🕯️ The lantern is lit. The kettle is warm. And it seems the Candle Keeper has been very busy.

🕯️ A New Idea from the Candle Keeper 🌲🍪

Pine Needle Shortbread Cookies.

Using pine needles gathered from the woods surrounding his cabin, he's been experimenting with a buttery shortbread recipe that carries subtle notes of evergreen, citrus, and the scent of the forest after a spring rain.

Many people don't realize that pine needles have been used for generations in teas and traditional recipes. They naturally contain vitamin C and antioxidants, though baking can reduce some of those properties.

Because these are cookies, we won't be making health claims about them. They aren't intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent anything. They're simply a unique woodland-inspired treat made with real ingredients gathered from the land around the Candle Keeper's cabin.

🌲 Harvested from the Candle Keeper's woods

🍪 Handcrafted in small batches

🕯️ Inspired by traditional woodland ingredients

🍵 Made to be enjoyed alongside a warm cup of tea

The Candle Keeper has always believed that not everything worth enjoying comes from a store shelf. Sometimes it comes from the forest, a workbench, and a little curiosity.

For now, he's still experimenting...

Would you try a Pine Needle Shortbread Cookie? 🌲🕯️🍪

🕯️ Package Update From The Assistants

If you were expecting a package from the Candle Keeper, please be patient. They're coming.

We were able to send one package out but shortly afterward the Candle Keeper decided it was time to leave and source a few things himself. Unfortunately, he neglected to tell us.

When we stopped by to pick up the remaining packages, there was nothing there for us.

No boxes.
No labels.
No instructions.

Just an empty workbench and signs that he'd left in a hurry.

We know several of you are waiting, and we appreciate your patience. As soon as the Candle Keeper returns and leaves the packages where we're supposed to find them, we'll get them on their way.

We've learned over time that things move at their own pace around the cabin.

We'll let you know when there's more to report. 🕯️

🕯️ An Update From The Woods...

We stopped by the cabin last night to check on the Candle Keeper.

Something felt different.

The lantern was lit.

That alone would normally mean he was home.

But the cabin was quiet.

Too quiet.

There were no signs of recent work on the table. No fresh tea steeping. No notes left behind. In fact, it looked as though the Candle Keeper himself had not been there for quite some time.

And yet...

The lantern was burning.

Someone had clearly visited the cabin recently and tended to it. The flame was steady, the glass was clean, and the light could be seen from the edge of the woods just as it always has.

Who lit it?

We don't know.

Why?

We don't know that either.

What we do know is that before the Candle Keeper disappeared from the cabin, he had already crossed a tea from his list and was working on something new. We were told he wasn't satisfied with what he had created and intended to continue refining it.

The lit lantern tells us only one thing:

The story isn't over.

Someone is keeping watch.

Whether it's the Candle Keeper himself returning quietly in the night, or someone tending the flame until he returns, we cannot say.

For now, the lantern remains lit.

And somewhere beyond the trees, work on the next tea release may still be continuing.

Keep watching the woods.

We'll share another update as soon as we learn more.

🕯️ The lantern still burns.
