Beginner Herbalist Kit (New!)
- WHAT'S INSIDE
- WHO'S IT FOR
- THE HERBS
This is the first of many beginner-friendly herb kits we plan to release. Here's what Kit 1 includes:
6 Organic Herbs
- Lemongrass (.08 oz)
- Rose Hips (1 oz)
- Calendula (.08 oz)
- Elderflower (.08 oz)
- Spearmint (.07 oz)

6 Mini Herb Monographs (designed by our founder)
I spent a lot of time and effort designing monograph cards that outline the actions of each herb, safety considerations, energetics, flavor profiles, dosing instructions, and primary uses.
Tools for Learning & Experimenting
- Herb notebook (for you to take notes about each herb as you go)
- Stainless steel tea ball (because tasting each herb in an infusion is essential)
- Ceramic tea rest (because it's cute and I couldn't resist)
- The herbs (see above)
- Mini herb monographs (see above)
New to herbs and not sure where to start?
This kit is perfect for anyone who wants to learn about herbalism but feels overwhelmed by all the information out there. Whether you're curious about making your own tea blends, interested in natural wellness, or simply want to understand herbs better, I've included everything you need to begin your journey with confidence.
Each kit features six organic herbs perfect for beginners, complete with detailed mini-guides and all the essential tools for brewing. This is the first of many educational kits I'll be releasing, designed to help you learn about herbs through hands-on experience!
Recommended use:
Spend 2 weeks to 1 month getting to know each herb in the kit. Observe the way it looks and smells, read over the mini-monograph to learn what it supports and how, and then follow the instructions to make a single-herb infusion (cup of herbal tea). Be sure to take notes along the way about how each herb feels in your body, tastes, smells, etc.
Lemongrass (Organic)
Bright, uplifting, and citrusy, this versatile herb offers a refreshing taste while supporting healthy digestion. Perfect for both hot and iced teas, it's an excellent herb for beginners.
Rose Hips (Organic)
These vibrant red fruits are packed with vitamin C and offer a pleasantly tart flavor. They're renowned for supporting skin health and immune function, making them a valuable addition to your herbal collection.
Calendula (Organic)
With its sunny disposition and gentle nature, calendula is beloved for its skin-soothing properties and subtle, slightly sweet taste. It's also beautiful in your cup!
Elderflower (Organic)
Delicate and sweet, elderflower brings a touch of floral elegance to your tea practice while supporting immune health. It's particularly lovely during cold and flu season.
Spearmint (Organic)
Cool and refreshing, spearmint is a digestive ally that's perfect for both solo brewing and blending. Its familiar taste makes it an excellent gateway herb for beginners.
Holy Basil (Tulsi) (Organic)
Known as the "Queen of Herbs," this adaptogenic plant helps support a healthy stress response while offering a unique, slightly spicy flavor profile.

FAQs
How do I make a cup of loose tea?
Steeping leaves & flowers
Blends: Weightless, Radiant, Gut Soother, Period Tea
Measure out 1 tablespoon of herbs for every cup (8 ounces) of tea you plan to make. Begin boiling your water to at least 200°F and add your herbs to your tea pot, basket infuser, tea ball, or whatever accessory you have on hand. Pour the hot water over your herbs and let them steep for 5-10 minutes before straining them out using your tea-making accessory or a basket strainer. Add some honey or maple syrup, or enjoy as is!
Decocting roots & berries
Blends: Root Coffee, Sweet Slumber
Measure out 1 tablespoon of herbs for every cup (8 ounces) of tea you plan to make and add them to a pot. Add cold or lukewarm water to the same pot and turn the stove to medium heat. Once the water and herbs come to a boil, immediately turn the heat to a low setting. Leave your tea to simmer on the stove for up to 40 minutes. When ready, strain out the herbs and add your preferred sweeteners or enjoy as is.

Is herbal tea actually tea?
Technically, herbal tea is not tea. Commonly referred to as a tisane or herbal extraction, herbal teas cannot be considered tea because they do not contain tea leaves from the camellia sinensis plant that black, green, and white teas are made from.
It's also worth noting that apart from herbs like yerba maté and yaupon holly, herbs contain no caffeine. Therefore, a majority of herbal tea is caffeine free.
What does "re-steep" mean and how can I do it?
Re-steep literally means "to steep again." So, just follow the same steps you used to make your first cup of tea again. All of our blends can be re-steeped— and we recommend that you do so you get the most therapeutic value from your herbs (and the best bang for your buck).
Do you offer free shipping?
We will be offering free shipping on domestic (US) orders over $75 very soon, so stay tuned!
How do I know whether I'm allergic to the herbs in these blends?
Before purchasing anything from us, please check the full ingredient list at the bottom of each product page and ensure you're not knowingly allergic to any of the herbs listed.
If you don't have any known allergies but you're concerned that your body may have an adverse reaction to these blends, we recommend either doing a patch test with the tea before you consume it, or starting with a very mild cup of tea.
To perform a patch test, follow the instructions on the bag to steep the tea and then rub a portion of the steeped tea on your forearm. Wait 24 hours to see if a rash appears. If so, gift your tea to a friend and do not consume it.
To make a mild/diluted cup of tea to test for a reaction, add 1 teaspoon of herbs for every 1/2 cup of water and let steep for 5 minutes. Strain out your herbs and take a sip of the tea. Wait 5-20 minutes before drinking the rest of the cup to ensure the first sip didn't cause an allergic reaction.
When in doubt, check with your doctor first. If you're planning to incorporate these blends into your routines and you've:
- had allergic reactions in the past,
- are taking medication,
- are pregnant and/or breastfeeding,
- have a health condition
always consult your doctor before taking any herbal supplement in any form (including tea). Herbs are natural, but that doesn't mean they are safe for everyone.
** As these are food items, we do not accept returns. In the event that you're allergic to and/or have an adverse reaction to the tea, seek medical treatment immediately. We are not liable for any adverse reactions you may have.
Do these blends contain gluten?
All of our blends are technically gluten free. However, we always warn that Weightless and Sweet Slumber may contain traces of gluten because they're blended with oat straw, which is sometimes processed by facilities that also process crops that contain gluten.
This is a fantastic starter kit!!! Each herb comes with an information card to tell you the spefic benefits and how to use it. The ones they sent me are valuable and address an array of potential ailments. I'm in peri menopause, and they sent one that helps with hormone regulation. This kit is perfect for any household!
