True love is the gift of chaga personally harvested from a birch tree in Scotland. Now how on earth do I break it up smaller?!

About us
Rich and I met while we were working for a large healthcare company researching new medicines. But we wanted to do so much more. So, we began our mission to understand and share the benefits provided by the natural world. Delighted by our discoveries, we moved to a wild hillside in West Wales and were able to follow our passion growing native herbs.
We couldnt have got to where we are without much help from family and friends, some of whom are pictured above.(Iām wearing red and Rich is in blue).
Herbal Native Teas
We provide you with natural herbal tea made in small batches which are carefully grown, dried and blended in the Welsh hills. Our herbal natives are the same plants, roots and flowers that were first used to promote good health, right here in this area of Wales, supported by gentle welsh rain for the last 7 centuries. They are either harvested from our land or locally foraged, then dried in small batches and carefully blended to make high quality tasty herbal teas. When we feel the need for a little extra something, we supplement from a trusted, ethical supplier.
