First light. First breath. First cup.
Spring is returning the warmth you've been waiting for. Let your ritual rise with it.
Meet the Tea in the Cup
Some mornings the world rushes in before you're ready. First Light was crafted for the quiet moment before that happens. A blend of certified organic Indian and Chinese black teas and Brazilian yerba maté, smooth and slightly malty with honey and bright herbal notes, it gives you the strength and energy to meet the day on your own terms. Infused with Reiki energy and made in small batches with intention. Because how you start your morning matters.
Find Your Tea
What does your cup need to do today?
Tea with Intention. Crafted with Care.
Every Island Elixir tea starts with a single question: what does this cup need to do for you? From enlivening your morning to quietly grounding your evening ritual, each micro-batch blend is crafted to nourish your body, mind, and spirit. Clean ingredients, unexpected flavours, and intention Reiki-infused into every batch. Because five minutes with the right cup can change everything about your day.
I'm Bree, founder, tea artisan, and passionate tea educator. I blend every batch right here in Langford, BC with the kind of precision and care that only comes from genuinely loving what you do.
What Will You Discover in Your Cup?
Tea has a story that goes back thousands of years. Come find your place in it.
Every workshop is a sensory journey through the origins, history, and craft behind the teas you love. Small groups, exceptional teas, and the kind of conversation that makes an afternoon feel like time well spent. Guided by Bree, passionate tea educator and Tea Sommelier.
