Where to Buy Calendula

Buy Tea Herbs

It can be difficult to find good quality, certified organic herbs. In all our recipes, we recommend that you source out certified organic ingredients for your herbal tea. Personally, I was having a difficult time, travelling to many different suppliers for the different herbs that I did not have on hand, or had grown in the garden. Mountain Rose Herbs is our recommended supplier.
