A nostalgic collection inspired by the spirit of the California desert, conjuring up warm sands and desert flora wherever you may find yourself with artisan incense, melon-like white tea, and aromatic home and body mist. This unique white tea has been aged for 14 years in a tea cave in California. It lends qualities of un-aged Bai Mu Dan, but with a richer flavor, due to the continued oxidation of the leaves. Designed for candlelit gatherings and cozy days in, our ritual gift kit lends an air of warmth, freshness, and good vibes to the winter season. Rituals Incense premier pack includes sustainable Palo Santo incense sticks, Mexican Copal cones, Himalayan Cedar ropes, and Palo Santo Wood pieces. Our Anza-Borrego Mist helps set the stage in any space to clear and purify with beautiful botanicals inspired by the Anza-Borrego wildflower bloom. Each kit arrives in sweet box with tissue paper ready to gift to those you treasure. Read on for more on California local makers, Rituals Incense and Leaves and Flowers Tea.
Rituals Incense: Rituals Incense is a socially and environmentally responsible business that hand-produces incense. They partner with small independent farmers who are committed to preserving and protecting the diversity of the forests where they live, thoughtfully and sustainably collecting aromatic materials. Each box supports and employs ethical labor practices, the planting of Palo Santo seedlings every year, and the prevention of deforestation in the region. This Palo Santo is certified ethically sourced, and a treat for the senses.

Leaves and Flowers Tea: Leaves and Flowers is a California based tea company founded by Anna Morton and Emily Erb offering a unique selection of handcrafted botanical infusions and premium small batch teas. Anna and Emily utilize locally grown botanicals as well as camellia sinensis teas sourced from around the world. Like the herbal drying and blending methods, much of Camellia sinensis harvesting and processing is carried out by hand. Buds and leaves are hand-picked, then skillfully oxidized, pan‐fired, rolled or fermented to achieve the desired result. All of Leaves and Flowers botanical infusions and teas are loose leaf, sustainably grown and harvested, and offer a botanical experience that honors the beauty and lore of the plants. Inspiration comes from the plants themselves – the mythology of their medicine, their potent leaves, delicate flowers, and the intoxicating aroma and flavor they release when infused. Leaves and Flowers botanical infusions are produced by hand in small batches in their California workshop.
