The First Hour: Morning Ritual Gift Set

Ships from the UK

A morning routine set: a pressed-flower notebook, green and white tea, a quartz tea strainer and a citrus room spray

This tea wants water well off the boil, 65 to 75 °C, and 5 to 8 minutes, which is about how long it takes to write three lines by hand. A quartz-weighted strainer in the mug, a notebook of rough Nepali paper, one spray of citrus as the window opens: the first hour, before anyone else gets a say in it.

About this product

A small ritual
  1. Put a heaped teaspoon of tea in the strainer, hang the quartz over the rim of the mug, and pour water that has rested off the boil for a few minutes.
  2. While it steeps, write three lines by hand: whatever is at the top of your mind, not a to-do list.
  3. Lift out the strainer, open the window, give the room one spray of citrus, and start the day only then.
What's inside
  • One lokta notebook, 15 x 12 cm, 45 unlined leaves, the cover pressed with real petals and closed with a bamboo toggle and button; each cover differs.
  • 50 g of loose Sencha green and Pai Mu Tan white tea with apple and cinnamon, in a kraft pouch. Contains almond.
  • One stainless steel mesh tea strainer on a short chain, with a raw clear quartz point that rests outside the cup.
  • One 100 ml room spray, Citrus Fresh: lemon, orange and lemongrass over a soft woody base, in amber glass.

The pieces arrive together in one parcel. They are not gift-wrapped. The spray bottle is glass and is packed with care.

Morning pages come from Julia Cameron's book The Artist's Way, published in 1992: three pages written longhand, first thing, before the day starts asking for anything. Three lines is a gentler way in.
