At this time, we’re not doing individual calls with people, as we simply do not have the time to talk with everyone who’s interested independently. We are, of course, more than happy to answer any questions you might have in an email for the time being. We will update this page with questions as they come in. Once we’ve got all of our participants signed up, we will hold a group zoom chall so people can ask any outstanding questions at that time.

The short answer to this question is no. There will not be caffeine free or low caffeine tea options available. We will be consuming this tea, not as a beverage, but in ceremony. When we drink Tea in Ceremony we are consuming Tea as a plant medicine. That doesn’t mean that suddenly it doesn’t have caffeine, but it does mean that we interact with it in a different way than you would a teabag in a mug.

Caffeine is a naturally occuring substance. It does not exist as some magical stand-alone-molecule. It is found in the seeds, nuts and leaves of various plants, including tea. Serving a living tea, or a sustainable tea does not mean that it does not contain caffeine, but it does means that these teas contain a myriad of other molecules and chemicals, including the essences of how it was grown, harvested, treated, how it lived and how it interacts with its environment. The leaf is the expression of the tree’s relationship to its environment. In short, Tea contains the essence of nature. The water, the molecules and chemicals, the frequencies of the environment are all also found in Tea. Tea relaxes us, which makes listening easier, which helps us begin to be able to hear the voices of the earth, and of spirit.

I am not here to negate the experience you have with caffeine in your everyday life, but I would offer that this type of ceremony is one in which the plant is revered, treated with respect from seed to leaf, and then consumed as medicine. This is very different from the everyday beverage of tea. While I do not serve any caffeine-free Teas, you are always welcome to simply drink less tea during the ceremony. This is a lovely way to titrate between receiving the essence of the experience while also honouring your body.

Most likely, yes. The event caterer we work with at Sagrada is exceptional, and is familiar with making food to suit all kinds of different requirements. If you've got very specific needs, please email us in advance to confirm they can be accommodated.
