What if the secret to a perfect R and R isn’t just a routine, but a remedy you design? Step inside the apothecary and craft your ultimate evening ritual with herbal allies that you can add to your regimen. Learn about beauty-sleep aids that have been used for millennia - things like hops, valerian, passionflower, skullcap and more.
The Herbal Blending Experience is an interactive, hands-on tea blending and herbal blending workshop where you will explore beautiful botanicals, discover how different herbs work together, and craft your own personalized herbal tea blend to take home.
Herbal tea making is a beautiful practice for self care and wellness. Handcrafted blends from your pantry or fresh from your home garden can have an array of uses from relaxation rituals to tea satchels for gifts. You will take home knowledge of the benefits, growing techniques, and flavor profiles for common medicinal and culinary herbs. Your class experience includes:
-Open tea bar
-Journal to write down your tea recipes
-Guided blending Session
-Craft label for your blend
-Custom tea blends and infuser to take home
-Intuitive tea reading
🍵 Session One: Calm, Rest & Relaxation
Our inaugural herbal blending masterclass is dedicated to one of the things many of us need more of: time to slow down, unwind, and rest.
During this session, you will:
- Discover a carefully curated collection of herbs traditionally associated with relaxation and evening rituals.
- Explore individual botanical aromas, flavour profiles, and traditional wellness uses.
- Learn how to bring distinct ingredients together into a perfectly balanced herbal infusion.
You will taste, smell, and experiment. Then, you will become the blender—creating a custom botanical combination that is uniquely yours.
📋 What You'll Experience
During this relaxed, practical botanical blending workshop, you will:
- Explore individual herbs: Get to know a selection of raw botanicals traditionally used in calming and relaxing herbal preparations.
- Taste and compare: Experience herbs individually and discover how their flavour, aroma, and character shift when combined.
- Learn tea blending principles: Discover how to balance flavour, aroma, intensity, and botanical character rather than simply mixing ingredients together.
- Discover traditional herbal knowledge: Hear about the historical and traditional uses associated with the specific plants you are working with.
- Think like a Tea Sommelier: Begin developing your palate by noticing aroma, flavour notes, mouthfeel, and how different botanicals interact in an infusion.
- Create your own herbal blend: Experiment with different ratios until you find a custom tea formula that feels right for you.
- Take your creation home: Leave with your own personally blended herbal tea to continue enjoying your evening ritual at home.
🌿 Create a Blend That Is Uniquely Yours
There is no single "perfect" herbal tea. Some people love soft floral notes like chamomile and lavender. Others prefer fresh, green botanicals or warming, aromatic spices.
That is why this isn't a workshop where everyone simply follows the same recipe. We introduce you to the core foundations of herbal formulation, then give you the creative freedom to explore. Smell the herbs. Taste them. Compare them. Adjust the proportions. Try again. It is a wonderfully sensory way to learn—and you will leave understanding why you enjoy certain combinations, not just knowing how to copy a recipe.

✨ More Than a Tea Blending Class
The Herbal Blending Experience is not a lecture. It is designed to be touched, smelled, tasted, and experienced.
You will learn through the herbs themselves—exploring their unique personalities, discovering unexpected combinations, and gradually understanding the principles that turn a handful of botanicals into a thoughtfully balanced infusion. Think of it as part tea tasting, part herbal blending workshop, and part introduction to the sensory skills associated with a professional tea sommelier—with plenty of time to slow down and enjoy the process.
