In the heart of the Netherlands, Wilder Land is pioneering a new chapter in herbal tea cultivation. Wilder Land harnesses the local Dutch environment to grow high-quality botanicals for herbal infusions. By collaborating with local farmers, they transform unused land into vibrant ecosystems filled with native herbs such as chamomile, plantain, sorrel, yarrow, nettle, and dandelion.

This initiative not only reduces the carbon footprint associated with importing herbs from afar but also revitalises local biodiversity. The flowering herbs attract essential pollinators, enhancing the health of surrounding crops and promoting ecological balance.

Wilder Land’s commitment to sustainability and nature restoration is evident in their unique approach: while some herbs are harvested for tea, many are left to support local wildlife, ensuring a thriving natural environment. As they aim to source 100% of their herbs locally in the coming years, each cup of Wilder Land tea directly contributes to the recovery of local biodiversity, bringing back bees, birds, and butterflies to the Dutch landscape.

The production of herbal infusions involves a pretty straightforward and simple process, starting with the careful harvesting of plants from either the wild or cultivated fields.

Whether foraging for wild herbs like poppy and chaga mushroom or farming chamomile on a larger scale, the next step typically involves drying the plants using natural methods such as shade, sunlight, or mechanical drying techniques. Unlike the intricate processing of true teas from the Camellia Sinensis plant, the complexity of herbal teas comes from the wide variety of plants used.

Various parts of the plant—leaves, flowers, roots, fruits, bark, and seeds—are either enjoyed individually or skillfully combined to create unique and flavorful blends. These infusions are mixed creatively by expert herbalists and tea blenders, offering a rich tapestry of flavours and wellness benefits.
