Discover how to bring out the aroma, flavour, and character of wild herbal teas through the simple art of brewing.

Brewing herbal tea may seem simple but small choices can completely change what ends up in your cup.

The temperature of the water, the amount of herbs you use, how long you allow them to steep, and even the vessel you choose can influence the aroma, flavour, colour, and overall experience of a tea.

In this 90-minute hands-on workshop, we slow the process down and explore what really happens when wild herbs meet water.

Together, we will taste and brew a selection of wild herbal teas, experiment with different preparation methods, and discover how to create a cup that expresses the distinctive character of each herb.

Rather than memorising rigid brewing rules, you'll learn to observe, taste, experiment, and develop the confidence to brew tea according to both the herb and your own preferences.

What we will explore

Understanding wild herbal teas
Get to know a selection of wild herbs, their distinctive aromas, flavours, textures, and characteristics.

The essentials of brewing
Explore how water temperature, steeping time, quantity, and brewing vessels influence the final cup.

Learning through taste
Taste the same herbs prepared in different ways and experience for yourself how subtle changes in brewing can transform a tea.

Finding balance in the cup
Learn how to recognise when a tea is too strong, too light, too bitter, or beautifully balanced  and what you can adjust to get the result you want.

Developing your own brewing intuition
Move beyond recipes and begin using your senses to guide you. With practice, brewing becomes less about following instructions and more about understanding the herb in front of you.

More than a brewing technique

Making tea can be an everyday task, but it can also become a small ritual of attention.

Working with wild herbs invites us to slow down: to notice their fragrance before brewing, watch their colour unfold in water, taste carefully, and discover how each plant expresses itself differently.

This workshop is as much about learning the craft of brewing as it is about rediscovering the pleasure of making a cup of tea with care.
