From ancient times, herbal teas have been brewed from local herbs and plants as part of healing lore. Knowledge was sometimes jealously guarded by shamans and healers, or past from mother to daughter as folk cures.
Later herbal teas became wider used for their tastes and as refreshments. Today ancient knowledge blurs with funky flavours to produce the best of both worlds.
Healing and delicious, the herbal teas have bridged the gap between the culinary arts and medicine. The master blender becomes both gourmet and apothecary.
