herbal tEAs
Homegrown & Wild Foraged
Each spring and summer I spend long hours tending gardens, wandering trails, and gathering medicinal plants for Lapis Sky herbal tea blends. Harvest is only part of the work. The plants teach me to slow down, pay attention, and notice the subtle relationships that shape the places we call home.
Some flourish in the quiet corners of my small urban garden; others lead me into the public lands and waterways of the Inland Northwest. By returning to the same plants through the seasons, I come to know not only the plants themselves, but the places that sustain them.
Growing, foraging, and crafting these teas is an extension of my movement practice. It asks me to place relationship before harvest, to move at the pace of the seasons, and to remain in conversation with the landscapes that continue to teach me. I tend these plants, and in many ways, they tend to me.

TEA BLENDS
TILIA
When I think of this blend, the tune and lyrics of a favorite Van Morrison song come to mind.
“There’s only here, there’s only now.”
- Van Morrison, These Are the Days
Maybe it’s the warm cup, the end of the day, or simply taking a little time to settle in. Tilia feels like an invitation to be right where you are.
$18 - 12 oz. jar with wooden lid.
22 grams of tea (8-10 cups)
A simple glass jar designed for gifting, refilling, and reuse.
P.S. I have found this jar to work great for overnight oats!

DEEP EARTH
Everything about Deep Earth, the smell, the taste, the vibrant greens, reminds me of a line from one of my favorite poets, David Whyte, in his poem Start Close In.
“Start with the ground you know.”
David Whyte, Start Close In
Read the whole poem.
Nettle, red clover, and rose in this blend were gathered wild here in the Inland Northwest. The rest were grown in my backyard.
$18 - 12 oz. jar with wooden lid.
22 grams of tea (8-10 cups)

CATALYST
“Medicine is the daughter of dream.”
Matthew Wood
I’ve always loved this quote from herbalist Matthew Wood. There’s something ancient in the idea that dreaming and medicine belong to one another.
Catalyst is a tea for the edge between waking and sleeping. Not to make anything happen, but to bring a little intention to that part of the day. Make a cup, settle in, and maybe keep a notebook nearby. See what you remember in the morning.

enchantment
with home
For generations, people have been captivated by plants from distant lands. Yet I find myself increasingly enchanted by the plants growing close to home. The plants around us offer an invitation to know the place that shapes us both.
Every Lapis Sky blend is crafted from plants I grow in my urban garden in downtown Coeur d'Alene or respectfully forage in the mountains of North Idaho. Plants that drink the same water, breathe the same air, and grow from the same soil as we do. Because I grow and harvest these plants myself, I know exactly when they were gathered and can preserve them at their peak.
I offer generous refill discounts for returning local customers. Pricing is listed with each tea blend above. To place an order, simply send me an email using the information above, or follow @lapisskyofferings on Instagram to find upcoming markets where you can purchase teas in person.
Choosing local is slower and more labor-intensive than sourcing herbs from afar, but it offers something I cannot order from a catalog: exceptional freshness and a taste of our terroir—the unique character of a place shaped by its soil, water, climate, and seasons.
Each Lapis Sky tea is packaged in a reusable glass jar with a wooden lid and no permanent labels, making it easy to refill or repurpose long after the tea is gone. The jars are simple, beautiful, and make a thoughtful gift for someone special. If you prefer, all blends are also available as loose-leaf tea in recyclable brown kraft bags.
