☞ All our herbal tea blends are created from medicinal plants grown on our farm and carefully selected during our harvests, which are always done by hand. We harvest the bee balm leaves in the spring, before they begin to form their flower buds. When its flowers appear in mid-July, it is the harvest for a few weeks of the intoxicatingly fragrant flowers that attracts bumblebees, butterflies and hummingbirds.

☞ The plants are then spread out on grids and inspected a second time before being dried at low temperature (around 35C) in a dark dryer; thus we preserve all the properties and the delicate taste of each plant.

☞ Once dry, the plants are cleaned of their stems and other small unwanted pieces, always by hand; they are then blended, potted and labeled in our processing kitchen and stored in a cool, dark room.

☞ Behind each herbal tea there is a lot of sun, pure and fresh air, irrigation from the sky or by human intervention as well as a passionate team of thunder who put a lot of energy from the first seed in the ground in the month of February, to the thousands of small seedlings transplanted in the greenhouse all spring, to the big harvests and the arduous weeding under the radiant sun of the summer months, until the gardens are closed during the cold months of autumn to prepare them to be reborn again next spring, reminding us that everything has a cycle.

☞ The result: fresh, tasty, local products filled with active ingredients!
