Nightward - Herbal Tea
Every old manor has a guardian.
Some carry lanterns.
Some carry swords.
Some simply know how to endure the longest nights.Nightward was crafted for those quiet sentinels.
Rich elderberry and hibiscus create a deep crimson infusion brightened by apple, rosehip, and goji berry. Beneath the fruit lies a foundation of ginger and echinacea—warming botanicals traditionally associated with resilience and wellness.
The result is bold yet comforting, vibrant yet steady.
A tea for stormy evenings.
A tea for recovery.
A tea for standing watch until dawn.
Stand your ground.

Tea Grimoire Entry
The Crimson Watch
Long before the manor stood empty, a lantern burned atop its highest tower.
Night after night, a lone warden climbed the winding stairs carrying only a cloak, a journal, and a steaming cup of berry tea.
Storms came.
Winters came.
Years passed.
Yet the lantern never failed.
Travelers crossing the dark countryside often said the light guided them home.
No one remembers the warden’s name.
Only that they remained when others could not.
Nightward is brewed in honor of those who endure.
