Don’t Cross the Line
Introducing Don’t Cross the Line: A Bold New Blend for a Bold New Team
Big news from Lichen + Leaf: we’ve crafted something special to celebrate the arrival of Portland’s newest WNBA team, the Portland Fire. Meet Don’t Cross the Line—a tea as fierce, fiery, and unapologetic as the athletes who inspired it.
Flavor That Demands Attention
This isn’t just another herbal blend—it’s a powerhouse in a cup. Hibiscus lays the foundation with a rich, deep red that mirrors the fire in Portland’s name. Cinnamon and ginger bring the heat, while lemongrass and lemon peel cut through with brightness, creating a flavor that’s bold yet balanced.
Whether you’re fueling up before tip-off, sipping courtside, or winding down after a long day, this tea is designed to keep your energy high and your spirit fierce.
A Name With Power
The phrase Don’t Cross the Line comes from a piece of basketball history: in rural Oklahoma, where our founder grew up, girls’ basketball once came with a strict rule—players couldn’t cross the half-court line. What once symbolized a limit now represents something far more powerful.
Today, Don’t Cross the Line is a call to stand firm: intolerance, sexism, racism, homophobia, and bigotry have no place here. It’s a name that carries history, pride, and a vision for the future—on the court and beyond.
More Than a Drink, It’s a Statement
At Lichen + Leaf, we create blends that tell stories. Don’t Cross the Line is more than a tea—it’s a tribute to resilience, equality, and the bold energy that defines Portland. With every sip, you’re joining a movement that celebrates strength, inclusion, and unapologetic fire.
