Maybe a slightly slept on item from the Quicksilver Tongue series, I find the Steep + Smoke a gentler alternative to the tincture if you can't handle alcohol. It's also nice as an offering and the fact that it's so multi-purpose really gets me going...steep...smoke...floorwash...incense...bath addition...etc. Love and a worthwhile investment from the S+S arts apothecary.

Brewed a pot of this while helping a friend midwife his talk for an upcoming conference! It helped him writing the talk himself, and it elicited a creatively meaningful, roving discussion between us about the talk. So many layers of opportunity and magic with this tea. I use this example because it was a combination of solo work and group work, and so I think the benefits of the materia were doubled. I can recommend this materia for both modes, and I encourage using it while assisting someone else in self-expression -- it ended up being quite personally meaningful for us both, in unexpected ways! Healing in a way I didn't know I needed.

Loving the tinctures and teas as forms! I have the QT oil too, and I find that topical application feels more like the power's attention is drawn to me and affects me from the outside, or my environment. That's useful too, but when I use one of the internal forms, it feels like the powers are awakened within me and flow outward. At the moment, that mode seems to elicit a more lasting shift for me.

Quicksilver Tongue is probably my favorite line of materia and the steep & smoke is no exception. Preferring it as a tea, it is the perfect accompaniment to crafting or enjoying art house films or live music. The time magic aspect of this materia often brings me on fun adventures - deep conversations with mysterious strangers, contact with previously unknown artists and musicians, or getting lost in my own creative projects for hours and hours.

I loooove this one. It's the best tasting Steep+Smoke I've had so far, and it just feels lovely. Expect good friendly convos!

Woah the time warps are real with this S&S, also my creativity goes off the charts with any QST products, but the S&S also helps me to just relax, day dream, chat more, come up with great ideas, vibe with others (much like MiG series). Try pairing this with Luna in Cancer S&S and DAII for a mind blowing magical experience.

I am using it as a tea during the day to promote flow state or during the night for journaling and dreamwork. The taste is soothing, bring relaxing daydreaming at first and then you can direct it in the wanted effect. I taste most strongly elderflowers and coconut.

brought this to a hangout with some arty friends of mine who immediately put it in a volcano vaporizer and got Blasted on Saraswati yoga lol. we spent the whole night drawing and collaging and talking about the most bonkers off the wall stuff, it was a true pleasure, and the one friend says since she got it shes almost finished with her illustrated book! does what it says on the tin, will make you a brilliant creative goofball.

This is one of my favorite S&S to use as a tea. This one is both relaxing, and just every so slightly ennervating. Want to have a sparkling conversation? Look no further. This S&S tea is about engaging in flow.

Excellent for creating, visioning, and very mercurial in the various ways and days you can engage with this material. Amazing amazing amazing. The muses continue to bring fruitful art and beauty in significant ways.

I am in love with this whole series. I have multiple items, but the steep and smokes are one of my favorites due to their versatility. Make tea, smoke, add to baths, add to floor sweeps or to floor washes, you name it. As a tea, I find the taste to be light and delightful. It does bring about a feeling of carefreeness and social tact when in social situations. I have also delved into more philosophical conversations when this materia is utilized. I used this most when drawing and it allowed me to feel deeply connected with my art.
