Traditional Herbs & Botanical Tea Ingredients

These are the herbs behind the recipes in my tea guide, some grown in my own containers, others sourced from neighbours or trusted vendors when I can’t grow them myself. Either way, I stay connected to what I am putting in my cup and where it came from.

Herbal products may not be suitable for everyone. Please consult your healthcare provider before using herbs medicinally, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication, managing a health condition, or experiencing persistent symptoms.
