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.
