Description:
Sacred Blend combines three sacred herbs to offer us a blessing to help cleanse and heal our lives. The power of these herbs bring us many healing qualities, as well as a deep sense of tranquility, calm and focus. Known by Native Americans who use these herbs to burn 'smudge' ceremonially. Sacred Blend is ideal for meditation or sacred group activities.
Our herbs are presently sustainably wildcrafted in Whitney and surrounding area. We only pick as much as a deer might graze, along moving rivers beside the border of Algonquin Park as well as long abandoned fields and forest clearings. Raspberry leaves and the roots are picked on farms that have been unused for 10 or more years, where industrial methods never were used, and where the original owner/farmer has given us permission, and we know the land's history. Crops which cannot be wildcrafted sustainably such as Red Clover, Anise Hyssop and Echinacea, are grown on certified organic farms.
A little background on the price of wildcrafted products. We choose to harvest each leaf by hand, sustainably, in the wilderness, often by canoe. We hire pickers so that we are sure it is done sustainably and often only during one or two hours in a day, if at all, when the plants are oily enough to be harvested. It is truly a gourmet product, that is competing with herbs that are sprayed, cut by tractor (we pick only the fresh oily flower tops and leaves) or so 'weak' they are flavoured by artificial oils. We hope you will understand that these teas in fact are the finest quality available. Algonquin Tea blends fully meet the demands of the most discerning ecology-minded and health conscious consumer. At the same time, these flavours satisfy the palate of everyone from the average tea drinker to the most gourmet connoisseur.
Drying:
Our herbs are picked at the optimum time and dried in a clean barn at low heat in dark drying rooms.
Packaging:
