#TeamBen Support Blend (Organic)
Our #TeamBen Support Blend is a handcrafted, organic blend of aromatic delight designed especially for our friend, Ben Sampson, who is currently undergoing treatment for a brain tumor (grade 4 glioneuronal tumor) found earlier this year. While this blend is specifically tailored for him to be able to drink at all stages of his treatment, to not only relax but to ease the nausea; this blend can be enjoyed by all who are just wanting to unwind.
*Please note that all proceeds for this blend go straight to the Sampson family to support them during this time as Ben is not able to work while he undergoes treatment*
In addition to donating the proceeds from this blend to the Sampson family directly, I will also send them an order of every blend ordered.
Ingredients
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) German Chamomile (M. recutita) and Peppermint (Mentha × piperita)
Charged with Crystals
#TeamBen Support Blend is charged with Citrine, Amethyst and Clear Quartz to really amplify the feelings of relaxation and optimism that these stones are known to bring. Charging the herbs with crystals before and after they are bagged allows us to ensure a handcrafted blend that's good for the mind, body and soul.
About #TeamBen
On March 12, 2025, Ben and his family’s lives were forever changed. What began as a headache escalated into excruciating pain leading him to seek emergency care. An MRI revealed a peach-sized tumor in his left frontal lobe. Within 48 hours, Ben was in surgery at Medical Center of the Rockies for a frontal lobe craniotomy to remove the mass.
Ben survived the surgery only to be told that the tumor was indeed malignant. The surgeon was able to remove all of the tumor but not its roots. Further test results show that Ben has a grade 4 glioneuronal tumor. Ben will begin a course of treatment that will include radiation and chemotherapy over the next year.
At just 36 years old, Ben, a devoted husband to his love Vanessa and father of four young boys, Akayden 9, Zeke 7, Loki 5, and Aksel 4, is facing the fight of his life.
Ben’s fight is just beginning. As he fights for his life and health, he is unable to work as a shipping lead at a hive company.
