Welcome to Herbal Tea Tasting in the Garden
Join us for a two hour herbal tea tasting experience. We will begin by learning to identify the plant where it grows, then discuss where, how, and with whom it lives in nature. You’ll learn how to properly harvest and dry it, then we’ll brew some for tea tasting. We’ll explore the lore and magic this herb can bring to your life, as well as magickal correspondences for which it is associated.
You will receive journal pages to write your tasting notes, create drawings (if art is your thing), or press part of the plant.
This month’s plant is LEMON BALM and we will taste the aerial parts of the plant: (1) flower, (2) leaf, and (3) stem. Discover how these parts play a role in supporting a peaceful state when things in your life might not be.

A Cup Of Tea With HWB
2026-05-05 | NJ
Herbalists Without Borders has partnered with Idealist in their dream and an invitation: if some of us, many of us—enough of us—can agree on three simple things, we can unleash a wave of hope and creativity like we’ve never seen.
We as herbalists, however you define that, have been working with our families, our “communities” for as long as there has been a history to record, so we thought what better way to connect with those in our communities than over a cup of tea. No agenda other than getting to know at least five people in your community that you didn’t know before. Invite them for a cup of tea – we thought we’d start with chamomile, since a cup of calm is what everyone needs in this crazy world right now.
So I invite you to find your area HWB Group (chapter, clinic, project) and have a cup of tea with them on 5/5/2026 – Tuesday, May 5th. As our groups start to organize, we will add details to their group pages so you can contact them directly to get times and locations.
✨ The Central Jersey Chapter of HWB will be announcing their hosting site location and time soon! ✨
