The weather is finally giving Fall here in Tennessee 🍂 and I couldn’t be more excited!!! The trees are blazing with color, the air carries a crispness, and everything seems to invite us to slow down. For me, this has always meant warm drink time! Its become a bit of a ritual i look forward to every year. A way to ground, nourish, and move gently through the season.

Here are 5 cozy cups I’m loving this fall:

✨ Morning Grounding → Smokey Taboo is right there next to coffee in my heart. Spiced and smoky like a campfire chai, it gives me energy without the jitters. I like mine with cream + maple syrup. If I’m lucky enough to get a porch morning with Rosey, I like to take a couple deep breaths and on my exhale, set some intentions for the day.

✨ Midday Reset → Our Herbal Sipping Broth is a savory, mushroom-packed, umami bomb that feels like full body nourishment on a cellular level. I am starving between 6am and noon. Herbal Sipping Broth is a perfect second breakfast for me. Sometimes ill add a little Miso paste to get my ferments in. Perfect for a pause outside while the leaves fall.

✨ Evening Wind-Down → Adaptogen Chai is my all time favorite night cap. Earthy, nutty herbs that soothe the nervous system and help the body find calm. Sometimes I pair it with Mushroom Drinking Chocolate for extra comfort. Candlelight required. 🕯️Book suggested.

✨ Golden Ritual → Golden Roots Chai is like a hug from the inside out. Warming spices, anti-inflammatory herbs, and a mantra I love to repeat while sipping: “I am worthy of rest. My body is constantly recovering and holding me.” I often make a pot on the stove and force it upon my family.

✨ Gathering in Community → There’s nothing like sharing a pot of Mushroom Drinking Chocolate. Cacao opens the heart and makes every gathering feel special. If we have a class or event this time of year, its my favorite to watch people ooh and ahh at something they assumed they wouldnt like. We offer it in the Apothecary all winter too 🥰

Whether you’re starting your day with focus, winding down with calm, or gathering with loved ones, our fall drinks are here to keep you warm, nourished, and connected. 🍵✨

We get asked about our Evergreen products this time of year, so here’s a lil round-up for ya 🌲💚

Our Forest’s Pull Bath Fizz is meant to feel like a little Forest therapy in the tub. Bonus points if you use our Evergreen Tallow Soap with it. These, as well as Pollard’s Pomade are year round, crispy, cool evergreen products, infused with real Evergreen needles and saps.

On October 31 🎃 we’ll drop our first batch of Whipped Tallow Butter for the year, infused with evergreen oils that make it unbelievably nourishing for skin. These trees don’t just smell phenomenal; their saps act on our skin the way they do for the tree. They ooze out when a tree is injured to create a protective barrier and help heal the tree. They are antimicrobial and help lock in moisture. Paired with tallow and herb infused oils, they help the fats pe*****te the lipid barrier and create a breathable seal, protecting the skin barrier. 

And just a couple short weeks after that, you’ll be able to purchase our Evergreen Chest Rub and Yule Candles in the Holiday Release! 

 🌲 Evergreen Chest Rub: evergreen oils + Frankincense + Copaiba to relax the diaphragm + open airways. Calming + relieving.

 🌲 Yule Tallow Candle: the most Christmas-y of them all. Fir forward, with a hint of orange garland + cinnamon sticks.

If you’re an evergreen fiend, you can definitely get your fill with us this season! Which ones are you most excited for? 👇

Ahh, Lung Mend, one of my first tinctures, and still one of my favorites.

While the blend contains some expectorants, I see it more as a strengthening and recovery formula. Its intention is to support the lungs, repair weak or inflamed tissues, and help you recover faster. When lung tissue is exhausted, coughs can become unproductive and mucus may get stuck, which is why pairing this tincture with our cough syrup during colds, flu, or bronchitis works so beautifully.

This restorative support is especially important for anyone with chronic respiratory conditions like asthma, CF, or long-term sinus issues. Because exhausted lung tissues leave you more prone to secondary infections.

Some standout herbs in this blend:
🌿 Lobelia is the star here. A strong antispasmodic and mild sedative that helps relax the diaphragm, supporting asthma attacks and prolonged coughing fits.
🌿 Mountain Mint & Linden support respiratory comfort.
🌿 Mullein is nourishing and protective for delicate lung tissues as well as mildly expectorant.
🌿 Usnea is known for its antiviral, antibacterial, and wonderfully supportive benefits.

This tincture is all about restoring strength, supporting tissue repair, and giving your lungs the tools they need to recover and stay resilient. Herbs truly are incredible!!!!

Okay let’s get serious about our throat spray. This is not just herbs, water and preservatives in a bottle. Our Sore Throat Spray consists of concentrated extracts in Organic Cane Alcohol with Honey. And believe it or not we never hear kids complain, only adults 😆

This spray is amazing at what it does! And I personally think it’s quite tasty. One of my favorite flavors & Cold allies, Mountain Mint makes it pretty refreshing. As well as some raw, unfiltered honey. The herbs we use in this blend are FABULOUS at what they do and they *need* alcohol to extract properly. 

🌿 Bee Propolis & Myrrh Resin help control bad bacteria and offer a protective coating to a raw throat.
🌿 Spilanthes offers mild numbing and antiviral support.

A lot of illnesses start in the mouth, and a hot, wet environment can be a breeding ground for bacteria. This spray is soothing, protective, and packed with antibacterial and antiviral herbs to help prevent infection, calm a sore or scratchy throat, and support recovery.

It’s also a great breastfeeding- and pregnancy friendly alternative to our antiviral elixir. And a way better option than that glow in the dark, neon mentholated crap. And I’m not kidding, most kids love it 🌱 available in our fall restock 10/31!

Just some little fall moments on the homestead. Trying to soak it all in before it’s gone. Everyone’s enjoying the sunshine without the strain of heat. Chickens scratching through the leaves, the dogs and our new kitten chasing sunbeams, herbs still fresh in the garden, and the soft breeze blowing leaves all around us. These little moments make the season feel golden 💛

We can barely keep up with yall this time of year. But rest assured a restock of You Give Me Fever is coming October 31! Families come back for it again and again because it truly supports everyone when a cold makes the rounds.

YGMF is designed to stoke your body’s natural defenses. When we catch a cold, our system craves warmth and movement, otherwise, stagnation sets in. That’s why traditional winter herbs like ginger, black pepper, cinnamon, garlic, and clove have been used for centuries: they fire up circulation, clear dampness, and help the body push through.

This tea isn’t about shutting symptoms down, it’s about listening and supporting your body’s process. Reach for it at the first tickle of a cold, to soothe a sore throat, or while your body is working through a fever. Many folks tell us that after a strong cup or two, they can curb an illness all together OR if they bust it out deep in the throes of something awful like the flu, they have a couple hours of sweating it out, hacking it up, and hoping “it gets worse before better” only to feel like themselves again.

Mark your calendars 📅 this seasonal favorite (and a mini fall restock) coming October 31 👻

✨ Rest in Peace Tea ✨

This blend was created as a gentle ally for unwinding, softening tension, and inviting deep rest. Each herb was chosen for its ability to soothe the nervous system and quiet the mind without leaving you groggy.
🌿 Skullcap, Passionflower & Wild Lettuce to help ease restlessness and calm racing thoughts.
🌿 Milky Oats to help nourish a taxed nervous system, offering steady resilience.
🌿 Catnip, Lemon Balm & Lemon Verbena to help lighten the spirit and relax the body.
🌼 Chamomile, Calendula & Linden Flower bring floral sweetness while easing digestive knots that often come with stress.
🌰 A touch of Fennel & Nutmeg round out the blend with warmth and comfort.

The result is a cup that feels like a weighted blanket for your nerves. Supportive, grounding, with a soft, sweet, floral kiss. Perfect after a long day, before bed, or anytime you want to soften the edges of stress.
And yes, it’s gentle enough for little ones! A few drops of the tea can comfort teething babies or help weaning toddlers settle into sleep 😴

Some teas are light and delicate. Smokey Taboo is not one of them. It’s smokey, dark, and unforgettable. The kind of tea that makes you stop mid-sip and say, “oh s**t."

The base is Lapsang Souchong & Pu’er, smoked, fermented black teas that carry a roast-y, malty depth (like campfire smoke and dark coffee braided together). Then we layered in Reishi extract, Chicory, Cacao Nibs, and warming spices. What really sets it apart though, is the addition of cedarwood, juniper, and sandalwood for a taste that can only be described as smelling freshly chopped wood.

The flavor is bold, and becomes silky with cream & maple 🍁. I hear from folks that this is their go to, to wow their friends when hosting and that bags are often ordered before they even leave. That’s THE greatest compliment to the chef and we love yall for it. If you’ve been waiting to try it… this is your sign.

✨ Parvati is ancient magic. ✨

Crafted from whole resin infused oils, made in-house, Parvati holds the wisdom of plants in their most complete form. When working with whole resins, we capture vital components like boswellic acids, the main anti-inflammatory compounds of frankincense, that are too large to be pulled through steam distillation. This is true for all resins, as they are non-water soluble, making resin infusion the best way to unlock their full healing spectrum.

To further enhance the regenerative power of this serum, we’ve included Bakuchiol extract, a gentle yet effective botanical alternative to retinol. While retinol is well-known for stimulating collagen production, smoothing fine lines, and improving skin texture, it often comes with side effects: dryness, irritation, redness, and increased sun sensitivity.

🌿 Bakuchiol offers near identical benefits all while being soothing and non-irritating. Even more, it’s photostable, meaning you can safely use it both morning and night without worrying about sun sensitivity, something retinol cannot offer.

By pairing whole resin-infused oils with Bakuchiol, Parvati becomes more than just a serum. It's a ritual of renewal. Deeply nourishing, protective, and rejuvenating, this blend bridges ancient plant wisdom with modern skin science to offer a potent yet gentle approach to cellular regeneration without compromise.
