A colorful, loose leaf floral tea based off of graffiti

Graffi-Tea colorful loose leaf graffiti butterfly pea flower

Graffi-Tea is a rainbow of herbs. With its full-spectrum of colors, this is a demo worthy example of the beauty of loose leaf tea. After all, it’s the herbal version of “eating the rainbow,” a theory suggesting eating fruits and veggies of all colors will provide you with all the vitamins and minerals you need. I wanted to test that theory out with herbs, but with a street art spin.

You may be wondering who that is on the cover. That’s Trumpet Wom’, a friend of mine from college who is one of the most talented musicians I’ve witnessed play before. She takes you on a cinematic journey via the trumpet while simultaneously playing the keys. Her colorful, joyous spirit fits the purpose of Graffi-Tea and I thought it would be cool to see a mural of her, so I incorporated the help of Brian Petitti, a/k/a Psychonaut Surreality, who I met vending at the Trenton Punk Rock Flea Market. Brian makes 3D surreal art out of an explosion of colors, so I knew he’d be right for the job!

Vinyl Pairing: Mulatu Astatke – Mulatu of Ethiopia (Worthy Records, 1972)

Featured heavily in Jim Jarmusch’s “Broken Flowers,” Mulatu Astatke is the face of Ethiopian Jazz. Make this a top priority if you’re looking for lounge funk. Mulatu’s vibes and slinky organ transport you to the basement of a swanky ’70s Ethiopian jazz club.
