Step into history with this immersive Liberty Tea workshop, inspired by the resourcefulness of colonial America. Begin with an engaging presentation exploring the origins of “Liberty Tea,” followed by a walk through the medicinal herb garden to experience the plants that once flavored these early infusions. Participants will sample a refreshing cold herbal tea before creating their own custom tisane blend using a variety of dried herbs, flowers, and fruits. The workshop concludes with a relaxed “tea time,” where you’ll enjoy your handcrafted blend alongside a simple treat in a welcoming, social setting.
