The business uses certified organic, organically grown, spray-free and wild-crafted herbs and spices, with most of its herbs grown in New Zealand where possible. The blends are sold online and at markets, and the business also makes teas for corporate gift baskets, wellness centres, retreats, cafes and hairdressers.
