The art of creating a client’s herbal infusion begins with sitting in what plants are wanting to work with them, and how that fits into their current experience and intentions for having a blend made.
Sometimes there are specific health considerations to be made.
Sometimes the season plays a part, of the world or of our lives.
If the client is with me, I want to know how they respond to plants through their senses. What colours catch their eye, what smells.. what herbs are they drawn to on my shelf by those senses alone. What stories are they coming in with, how’s their mood lately.
That information, paired with the knowledge of plant personalities and relational dynamics, supports me in narrowing down what finds its way into the mix.
Often I’m blending while a client is integrating an experience we’ve had in session, or is on the table with acupuncture or cups doing their magic. The information their body says, non-verbally, helps me too.
If a client isn’t with me while I’m blending for them, I’m paying attention to tone and information as we chat about what their hope is for the blend.
Creating teas and herbal infusions, for me, is rarely about following a written recipe and much more about discovering the recipe in the moment. Yes there is science and textbook knowledge that supports that, but as always, science is best paired with a healthy dose of art ☕️
Excited to be offering some group and individual opportunities this spring and summer to experience this kind of tea blending first hand. Stay tuned 💛
