herbal tEAs
homegrown &
wild foraged
Those who know me well, know that every spring and summer I become a bit more immersed in the growing and foraging of medicinal plants for my Lapis Sky tea blends.
For me, this doing is the best kind of education. Self-directed, close to the elements, incorporating all the senses. I travel to interesting wild places in the backcountry of my home and I nurture an urban sanctuary on my little lot in town.
I tend to these plants and they tend to me.
In their presence I receive a renewed sense of “awe” and wonder - a sort of creative nectar which feeds my inspiration for all of my Lapis Sky offerings.

enchantment with home
Humans have a long history of enchantment by the panacea of herbal teas and medicinal herbs from afar. The global marketplace and its next-day delivery further enables this reach to far away plants and products.
Local plants have always done the heavy lifting. The plants growing near know our bodies the best as we grow together of and from the same environment.
Drinking Lapis Sky herbal tea is an opportunity to become enchanted with the plants of our home.
Plants that drink the same water, breath the same air, and grow from same soil as us. Plants as local as we are.
Every Lapis Sky blend incorporates only plants that I grow in my urban micro farm in downtown Coeur d’Alene or forage from the mountains of North Idaho. Born of wild creativity and experimentation, the flavors are fresh, unique, and ever-changing.
While this approach is more labor-intensive than ordering from afar, keeping it local is an exciting challenge and provides us with a taste of our terroir - the characteristics of place, encompassing soil, climate, water, and relationship
