Description
In this follow-up to The Art of Blending Tea on October 9, participants will learn about blending teas/tisanes for medicinal purposes. Learn from Emily Springer of Meeting House Farm – a MOFGA certified organic farm in Scarborough, Maine. Meeting House Farm grows organic herbs for Infusion Herb Co., a local producer of organic herbal products. This class will focus on the medicinal properties of a selection of herbs and how to combine them for maximum effect. Learn about herbs that support the respiratory system, digestive system, nervous system and immune system. Participants will blend, taste and take home their own medicinal tisane.
This class builds on the basics of tea blending, as discussed in The Art of Blending Tea. However, no pre-requisites are required in order to enroll. This workshop will start with a brief overview of the basics of the art of blending tea.
Blending Medicinal Herb Tisanes is co-organized by The Ecology School & MOFGA.
