Mindful Tea Blending & Tasting by The Little Foragers Kitchen

A massive two-thirds of us will experience mental

Health issues in our lifetime & stress can be a key factor

in developing other health problems. With us all

leading such busy lives it can be difficult to find time

for ourselves. One thing that most of us do several times

during the day is stop for a quick cuppa.This very simple

act presents the perfect opportunity to take a 5 or 10

minute break to de stress.

So, what is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is a form of meditation where you focus

attention on the present moment. Meditation is a bit

more daunting & takes more time, but being “mindful”

is more manageable. We just need something enjoyable

to focus on & our daily cuppa can be just the ticket.

Now, imagine if you could elevate your daily cuppa into

more than just a quick mindful break, but a nurturing,

healing “hug in a mug”. There are a huge number of

plants growing all around us, in both urban & rural

settings which we can use to make our own delicious

herbal tea blends. You can go out & forage them for

yourself or you can buy them online or in specialist shops.

Herbal tea blends have never been more accessible &

you don’t have to be an expert to blend your own.

So, during this workshop 

• you will be presented with a large range of different herbs, some fresh, some dried,
• some foraged & some cultivated.
• You will have fact sheets with a note of all the herbs available on the day, plus probably some extra ones too,
• listing each herbs beneficial properties.
• You will be encouraged to select &blend your own teas, or, if you want to just try some individual herbs, that’s
• fine too. Help will be on hand to guide you at all times.

Vicky is a keen forager,

going out with her grandmother from an early age, to

collect plants for food & medicine, amongst other things,

to use in the home. She runs regular foraged themed

activities & workshops, alongside sourdough workshops,

with the aim of helping people reconnect with Nature.

She strongly believes that the huge benefits of foraged

plants & being in & around Nature should be accessible

for everyone, regardless of age or class distinction.

The perfect Mindful moments are to be had when we are

being held in awe of our natural world & what She

provides us with, if only we could see it.
