Ego - Trippin

Vibrant, bold, and beautifully layered, Ego Tripping awakens the palate with a rich and empowering flavor. The bright, grassy notes of green tea provide a lively foundation, while safflowers and blue cornflowers add a soft, floral smoothness. Cacao powder brings a luxurious hint of chocolate, grounding the blend with a subtle richness that lingers gracefully.

Juicy blackberries infuse a burst of natural sweetness, balanced by the zesty brightness of orange peel and lemon peel, creating a flavor that is both energizing and uplifting.

Inspired by Mother Nikki Giovanni and her iconic poem Ego Tripping, this tea is crafted to help you power your voice, fuel your dreams, and celebrate the brilliance within. Every sip is a reminder that you might be ego tripping - and there may be a reason why.

Ego Tripping - and there may be a reason why 

by Nikki Giovanni

I was born in the congo
I walked to the fertile crescent and built
  the sphinx
I designed a pyramid so tough that a star
  that only glows every one hundred years falls     5
  into the center giving divine perfect light
I am bad
 
I sat on the throne
  drinking nectar with allah
I got hot and sent an ice age to europe            10
  to cool my thirst
My oldest daughter is nefertiti
  the tears from my birth pains
  created the nile
I am a beautiful woman                             15
 
I gazed on the forest and burned
  out the sahara desert
  with a packet of goat's meat
  and a change of clothes
I crossed it in two hours                          20
I am a gazelle so swift
  so swift you can't catch me
 
  For a birthday present when he was three
I gave my son hannibal an elephant
He gave me rome for mother's day                   25

My strength flows ever on
 
My son noah built new/ark and
I stood proudly at the helm
  as we sailed on a soft summer day
I turned myself into myself and was                30
  jesus
  men intone my loving name
 
  All praises All praises
I am the one who would save
 
I sowed diamonds in my back yard                   35
My bowels deliver uranium
  the filings from my fingernails are
  semi-precious jewels
  On a trip north
I caught a cold and blew                           40
My nose giving oil to the arab world
I am so hip even my errors are correct
I sailed west to reach east and had to round off
  the earth as I went
  The hair from my head thinned and gold was       45
  laid across three continents
 
I am so perfect so divine so ethereal so surreal
I cannot be comprehended
  except by my permission
 
I mean … I … can fly                               50
  like a bird in the sky …
