It is a perfect substitute for pumpkin pie spices that is not as bitter as store-bought blends. The blend contains cinnamon, lemon peel, nutmeg, ginger, allspice. Seasonal Teas For 2014 we have two new tea blends Silver and Gold and Holly and Ivy. We will also be making our blends from 2013 available for another season due to their popularity.Silver and Gold - An all herb blend of silver sage with calendula petals and chamomile for gold along with a touch of cinnamon and the robust flavor of marjoram. This a flavorful and relaxing blend is just what you need for evening drinking around a warm fire.

Christmas Comfort & Joy (a 2013 blend) mixes lavender and hibiscus with lemon balm and raspberry leaf for a smooth drinking all herb blend that has just a hint of citrus. Cinnamon Delight (a 2013 blend) For the black tea lover we crafted a delightful tea with black tea, lemon and orange peel, cloves and cinnamon that was developed from a recipe once used in World War II as a coffee substitute.

Zodiac Boxes
Among our newest gift items is a hand-crafted box of herbs, herb blends, herbal tea or bath related herbs that match the zodiac sign of the recipient. You can gather these therapeutic herbs for yourself or someone special. Each box, linked to a Zodiac sign, are carefully formulated for that sign to include herbs that help create harmony and health. aa Since each sign of the Zodiac has different needs the boxes contain 5 to 8 items for each sign that may include single herbs for cooking; or bath and relaxation or aromatherapy items; or even special salves and potpourri crafted using the herbs that best influence that Zodiac sign. I then gather all of the items together in a decorative box with a multi-page printout of Herb and Zodiac Information tailored to the Sign, that includes many recipes for Zodiac specific meals. Zodiac Kits include:
Due to the seasonal nature of these kits they are most easily listed and removed from our Etsy site (like herbal vinegars.) You will find each sign posted about 3 months before the season of the zodiac they are for. Each will be removed 30 days after the zodiac season. If you want one out of season, click the custom order button on any zodiac listing and ask me if I have the herbs available to craft the box.
