Blending Herbal Teas: Crafting Botanical Infusions
Herbal tea blending is both an art and a long held tradition, woven from knowledge of plants, flavor, and care for the body and spirit. In this hands on workshop, participants will learn the foundations of creating balanced, intentional herbal tea blends using time tested principles.
We will explore the roles different herbs play in a blend, including base herbs, supportive botanicals, and aromatic accents. Participants will learn how plants have been combined historically for nourishment, comfort, and daily wellness, with attention to flavor, aroma, and traditional uses.
Together we will work with a curated selection of dried herbs, flowers, and roots to create a personalized herbal tea blend. Along the way, we will discuss blending ratios, simple formulation techniques, and how to taste and adjust a blend thoughtfully.
Participants will leave with their own custom tea blend and a deeper understanding of how herbal teas have been used across cultures as a gentle, everyday form of plant medicine.
