Disibodenberg MCXII · Austin, Texas MMXXVI Herbs, teas and balms
Herbs, teas and balms
made in small batches
by one pair of hands.
I grow what I can, dry it slowly, and blend it the week you buy it. Everything here is made to be used up, not kept on a shelf looking pretty. You'll find me at market most weekends — that's where the jars are.
The flagship
Viriditas: Week of Intentions
Seven tea concentrates, one for each day, each keyed to the planet that medieval herbals gave that day — Monday to the Moon, Tuesday to Mars, and so on down the week. It isn't astrology. It's the organising system the monastic gardens actually used, and it turns out to be a good way to think about what your body wants on a Tuesday versus a Sunday.
Each vial makes four cups. The card that comes with it tells you what's in the blend and why that herb sat under that planet.
