Hi ,

Lisa here (founder of The Qi). I’m writing this from an ancient mountain in Asia, where I’m living at a Tai Chi temple for three weeks.

For once, I didn’t come here with an outcome in mind, other than to be present and learn.

I’m not trying to become more productive or turn this into another tea product.

This is actually very new for me.

I’ve spent decades of my life doing, creating, worrying and trying to “improve” myself as a person.

I’m realizing not everything needs an outcome.

Sometimes I can do something simply because I want to do it. Because I love it.

That’s how I think about drinking The Qi flowers, too.

The #1 question I get asked is: “Why should I drink flowers?”

I love the ritual of heating the water, choosing a flower and watching it slowly bloom in my cup.

What’s more joyful than watching a flower bloom?

(Okay, maybe petting puppies and watching fireworks are also up there.)

But would anyone ask, “Why pet puppies??” or “Why watch fireworks?” So, don't be silly.

Sometimes enjoying it is reason enough.

I love having 15 minutes where nothing is required of me while I simply admire the bloom.

After a decade working in luxury fashion, my definition of luxury has changed.

Luxury used to mean expensive bags and shoes.

Now, luxury is putting my phone down (maybe even locking it in a box). Giving myself my own attention. Enjoying something beautiful without needing to make it productive.

Maybe that’s what drinking flowers really represents to me:

Permission to stop.

So consider this yours, too.

Make yourself a cup tonight. Put your phone away. Sit for 15 minutes. Dare I say 30 mins even?

You don’t have to accomplish anything.

You’re allowed to just stop and drink flowers.

P.S. If you’re wondering what to start with, want refills, or share the ritual, this is the set I made for you.

With love from the mountains,

Lisa

Founder, The Qi
