For humans: a mild mint flavor and calming experience with medicinal qualities. For cats: an energizing and somewhat addictive activity!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle-ingredient herbs grown in our garden, for herbalism or tea. Grown using organic, no-chemical methods in our biodiverse and regenerative homestead garden. Air-dried or freeze-dried simply in small batches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Garden-Grown Difference\u003cbr\u003e\nChefs and herbalists alike know that how a plant is grown matters for its taste and phytochemical composition.* When Valerie's mother first brewed her apple-smelling garden-grown chamomile tea, she exclaimed, \"So THIS is what Chamomile is supposed to taste like!\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Looseleaf, Whole Herb Difference\u003cbr\u003e\nCommercial tea bags are usually filled with nearly-powdered plant material. The small grind creates the most \"bang for the buck\" for manufacturers by providing a more powerful brew with a smaller amount of material ... but it also goes stale faster. Stale material can have a completely different flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur herbs are sold looseleaf from the past 12 months' harvest. We \"garble\" the herbs through a very coarse 1\/2\" mesh screen for a homogenous texture but the teas are still considered looseleaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimple Herbs, Simply Prepared\u003cbr\u003e\nCut fresh from our garden, and air-dried or freeze-dried on-site at our homestead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo freeze-dry, we take our fresh garden product directly to our home-scale freeze-drying machine. Freeze-drying requires a specialty machine to dehydrate foods through rapidly freezing down to -40 degrees, then lowering the pressure with a vacuum, removing the ice via sublimation. Because of the low temperatures, the herb retains more of its original qualities: its color, shape, nutrients, and aromatics are closer to fresh. Learn more about freeze-drying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaffeine-Free Herbs and Teas\u003cbr\u003e\nLooseleaf tea has a more mild flavor but it can be brewed more than once and maintain the same flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Anise Hyssop (aka Licorice Mint.) Leaf and flower of Agastache foeniculum. Sweet, mild anise flavor. Less well-known member of the mint family creates a calming, grounding experience or a refreshing iced tea.* 1\/2 ounce by weight is approximately 3\/4 cup by volume.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Beebalm (aka Monarda, Lemon Bergamot). Leaf and flower of Monarda citriodora. A rich, tannic, almost oregano-like tea from the late season, with medicinal qualities.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Chamomile. Flowers of Matricaria chamomilla. Aromatic with a mild, natural apple scent. Used by generations for relaxation, stress relief, sleep, and digestion.* 1\/2 ounce by weight is approximately 1\/2 cup by volume.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Peppermint. Leaf of Mentha piperita. Cooling, sharp, spicy mint flavor. Used by generations as a digestion aid.* 1\/2 ounce by weight is approximately 1 cup by volume.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Red Raspberry. Leaf of Rubus idaeus. Tannic with a fruity aroma. Used by generations of women during and after pregnancy and monthly cycle support: \"girl's best friend.\" * 1\/2 ounce by weight is approximately 1-1\/2 cup by volume.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Spearmint. Leaf of Mentha spicata. Mild, sweet mint flavor. Lovely with a little sugar for a Middle East inspired tea, iced or hot. 1\/2 ounce by weight is approximately 1-3\/4 cup by volume.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Yarrow. Leaf and flower of Achillea millefolium. Not a delicious tea, but a useful herb for home medicinal use!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow to Brew Herbs (Tisane \/ Herbal Infusions)*\u003cbr\u003e\nBoil 8 oz (250ml) of hot water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Use one pre-bag per cup, or for looseleaf: measure 1-3 tsp per cup in your favorite tea strainer. (We include a reusable cotton muslin tea bag in our looseleaf bags, wash before first use.)\u003cbr\u003e\n- Steep 5-10 minutes and remove solids with the strainer.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Breathe deeply and enjoy. For iced tea, place brewed tea in refrigerator for up to 3 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSustainability Features\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Biodegradable product and packaging\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Grown and dried without chemicals\u003cbr\u003e\n- No plastic packaging\u003cbr\u003e\n- Grown in our biodiverse and regenerative homestead garden\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Homestead Collection\u003cbr\u003e\nThe same attention to detail and quality you expect from Walnut Studiolo, now available in small batch handcrafted herbs, balms, fruit, baked goods, and gifts from our forest, gardens and kitchen.
