WORKSHOP | Herbal Tea Apothecary: Make Your Own Tea Blend

  • HER Kitchen 1442 Hertel Avenue Buffalo, NY, 14216 United States (map)

Join us for a hands-on tea blending workshop led by The Soul in Bloom, where you’ll be guided through the art and intention behind herbal tea creation.

Together, we’ll explore the difference between tea and tisane, how to properly prepare each, and the healing properties of a variety of herbs. You’ll learn how to thoughtfully combine “main” and “supporting” herbs to create blends that support your body in a meaningful way.

Each guest will then create their own full size bag of a custom tea blend—choosing three herbs and crafting them in specific measurements to take home as your own personal ritual.

What You’ll Experience

  • A nourishing soup + seasonal salad served during the workshop

  • Two herbal teas from The Soul in Bloom to enjoy
