CFC Tea is a proprietary eight-botanical blend combining respiratory support (mullein, helichrysum), digestive ease (ginger, marshmallow root), and nervous system regulation (lavender, peppermint, lemongrass, violet leaf). When molecularly infused into quartz during formation at over 3,000°F, each plant's structural imprint creates unique resonance patterns that practitioners describe as "full" or "complex"—a sound with audible depth beyond a single note. This complexity mirrors the blend itself: not one action, but a conversation between warming and cooling, rising and grounding elements that have supported human wellness across millennia.
Teachers use this bowl to signal calm during classroom transitions when students need to shift from activity to focus. Parents find it helps anxious children settle before homework or sleep, as the chest-opening frequency naturally deepens breathing. Athletes reach for it during recovery periods to downshift from intensity, while tea ceremony practitioners appreciate the botanical kinship—playing the bowl while steeping creates layered ritual. Anyone holding tension in chest, belly, or diaphragm benefits from this bowl's specific resonance through the torso's stress-holding zones.
This blend targets exactly where most people hold stress: the chest that tightens during anxiety, the belly that clenches under pressure, the diaphragm that forgets full breath. When the bowl's E frequency (656 Hz) vibrates through your torso—sternum, solar plexus, ribs, core—it creates conditions for the body to remember what unrestricted breathing feels like. Practitioners pair it with breathwork for clients experiencing burnout or exhaustion, as the botanical properties (mullein's "lungs of the earth" tradition, marshmallow's soothing mucilage) align with the physical vibration through respiratory tissues.
The eight-botanical infusion creates harmonic complexity that single-element bowls don't produce. Ginger's warming compounds, helichrysum's resilience markers, lavender's calming linalool, peppermint's cooling menthol—each plant's molecular structure integrates into the quartz, and their combined microstructure vibrates as one instrument. People often describe the tone as having "layers" or "depth," hearing subtle shifts within the sustained note. This mirrors traditional herbal formulation wisdom: synergistic blends create effects no single plant achieves alone. The sound literally embodies botanical conversation.
Yes—this bowl harmonizes with instruments tuned to A=440, the universal concert pitch standard. At 656 Hz (E-9 cents in A=440 reference), it sounds in tune alongside guitars, pianos, orchestras, or any modern instrument using standard tuning. This makes it practical for musicians incorporating sound healing into performance, or practitioners building collections where bowls need to blend seamlessly. The CFC Tea infusion adds therapeutic depth to what's already a musically compatible instrument, serving both artistic and wellness applications without requiring specialized tuning knowledge.
The eight-botanical infusion is permanent—integrated at the molecular level during formation, not applied as a coating. The bowl is waterproof, temperature-stable, and sunlight-safe. Clean with water and mild soap; the seamless one-piece construction has no weak points or seams where moisture could penetrate. Because the infusion creates internal microstructure rather than surface decoration, the bowl's unique resonance patterns remain unchanged through decades of use. Store on the included silicone O-ring for stable playing on hard surfaces.
