Blend & Brew

There can’t be a gardener who hasn’t picked an edible leaf or two straight from the plant, nibbling on it as they work and enjoying its innate freshness. With just a little more restraint, these leaves can be used to make your own delicious herbal teas, which, whether enjoyed fresh in season or dried so as to be savoured throughout the year, will offer a realm of flavour, with various beneficial properties to boot.

Ever since tea addict Catherine de Braganza married King Charles II and introduced black tea to the British, has a long history in the subject.
