Root down, sip up.
There’s something magical about spring — when the soil softens, the sun lingers a little longer, and the garden begins to whisper promises of bloom and bounty. Whether you’re sowing seeds, pulling weeds, or simply soaking up the earthy quiet of your backyard haven, the right cup of tea can elevate the experience.
At Full Moon Tea Company, we believe that tea is more than just a beverage — it’s a ritual, a moment of grounding, and a bridge between body and earth. So grab your gloves, fill your thermos, and let’s pair some teas with your favorite gardening moments.
For Morning Planting: Green Tea with Pear & Ginger
Morning sun, cool soil, and a gentle nudge of caffeine — this crisp, revitalizing blend awakens your senses without the jitters. The subtle sweetness of pear complements the earthiness of early digging, while ginger gives a warming kick as you ease into the day.
For Midday Weeding & Tidying: Hibiscus Flora Herbal Tea
Refreshing and hydrating, Hibiscus Flora is the perfect pick-me-up when you're knee-deep in garden cleanup. Tart hibiscus keeps your energy up, while floral notes keep your mood lifted. Plus, its bold ruby hue feels like a reward in every sip.
For Flower Bed Zen: Lavender Lush Herbal Tea
Taking time to admire your blooms? Lavender Lush is your perfect partner. With its calming, floral aroma and soothing herbs, this caffeine-free blend is ideal for moments of stillness — like arranging your cut flowers or sitting in a garden chair surrounded by bees and birdsong.
For Sunny Breaks & Porch Sips: Strawberry Honeysuckle White Tea
Light, delicate, and faintly floral, this white tea blend is the taste of spring in a cup. Sip it cold or warm while you rest your feet and admire your handiwork. Bonus: the antioxidants in white tea are as kind to your body as gardening is to your soul.
A Second Life for Tea Leaves: Compost & Garden Magic
Once your cup is empty, your tea leaves don’t need to go to waste — they’re full of goodness for your garden. Here’s how to give them a second life:
Compost Booster – Spent tea leaves (and even biodegradable tea bags) add nitrogen to your compost pile and help improve the texture of your soil.
Direct Mulch – Sprinkle cooled tea leaves around acid-loving plants like roses, tomatoes, and blueberries for a gentle nutrient boost and moisture retention.
DIY Plant Feed – Steep used tea leaves again and let the cooled tea water nourish your plants — especially potted ones that need a little love.
Note: Be mindful of flavored teas with oils or added sugars, and always remove staples from bags before composting. (no need to worry about those here though!)
