For those who enjoy gardening and tea, Whitney Smart has put the two together by creating the ‘Herbal Tea Seed Kit.’
The kit comes with everything needed to successfully grow six seeds to grow lavender, chamomile, hyssop, lemon balm, echinacea, and wild bergamot, all of which are perfect for tea. The seeds are stored in a steel tin and can be grown with bamboo, peat, and coco fiber included in the kits.
The flowers are all what the description calls "drought-tolerant and low-maintenance perennials, so you can harvest when you want a cuppa, year after year."
For a cup of tea grown and harvested by yourself, the DIY Herbal Tea Seed Kit can be purchased on the Uncommon Goods website.
