My family and I walk the meadows first thing in the morning every order we receive to harvest the best leaves for your order. They will be a mix of mature and young leaves with a few flowers as the season allows.
For the fresh leaves: I wrap them in moist cotton with a plastic then cardboard sleeve to keep their shape. For the dehydrated leaves: I can grind them in m pestle for you or put in a paper sleeve, your choice
The leaves can arrive with your choice of fresh or sry, simply let me know when I confirm ok?
HOW DO YOU STORE THE PRODUCT? To store mullein properly and maintain their freshness, keep them in an airtight, opaque container in a cool, dark place, away from strong odors and direct sunlight.
Mullein can be created into a tea both fresh and dehydrated. I personally make at least 2 teas with each tea bag. Seep in hot water in a glass or mug for about 3 minutes or longer and sweeten to taste. Mullein can also be rolled and smoked to help with congestion and asthma.
Welcome to the wonderful place we call home, nestled in the mountains of the Adirondack State Park in New York State. As well as foraging off our 117 acres of mixed hardwoods, spruce and pine, we also grow our own root crops using heirloom seeds and fertilizer from our horse, no pesticides used at all.
We pride ourself on offering freshly foraged mushrooms, and plants that I turn in to teas as well as selling them loose leaf and also plan to offer flour alternatives too. Our health is the most important thing we have and I want to give you the opportunity to become stronger without breaking the bank :)
Thank you for trying my teas, I appreciate your support,
All the best,
Melanie, Season 10, ALONE show contestant.
