Seastar: Tribute Blend for Eryka Rose

I created this blend to honor the memory of my beloved little sister, Eryka, whom I lost unexpectedly this past August 2022.
 
My beautiful sister helped me open the doors to my dream, this very shop, where she worked for most of 2020 with me. Her charisma and charm left a mark on you if you ever had the pleasure to meet her!
 
She was known for the way she supported those who needed extra attention, such as children, our elders, or those with special needs. Her passion came from her desire to help run turkey drives at Thanksgiving time, helping more than 900+ families get dinners for their families. In some cases, she would even drive food to people's homes to make sure they got it in time for their Holiday. 
 
To honor her - and the part of her who always care for those in need, I am giving 100% of the proceeds to support a food drive to help families get dinner for Thanksgiving & Christmas. Thank you from the bottom of my heart if you choose to support our effort to keep her memory alive in this special way. 
 
For My Seastar:
I chose a Green Tea to represent your peace, harmony, 
and, of course, your favorite color.
I wanted pieces of Apple to represent the love you baked into the Apple pie you made every Thanksgiving.
The Lychee Melon flavor is perfect! It is a unique and fun bright-colored tropical fruit, a reminder of our second home, Anguilla.  
I added Rose, as you always wished that was your middle name 
and to represent self-love and beauty.
I tossed in a bit of Lavender since it was your favorite herb to work with and will help you rest in peace. 
And of course, your tea was the first we added bright pink edible glitter because you were made to sparkle and shine!
Lastly, I lovingly added Heather flowers, as Ericaceae is the genius of the Heather plant. Heather embodies protection and cares for those around them, which you and I both shared those gifts. 
You are my root - You will always be a part of me.
I love you, my Seastar.
