Seasonal Sampler

This selection of seasonal steeps is a great way to sample some Homegrown infusions and bring balance and wellness to Winter 2023.

With the solstice comes the heavy ama of Kapha, or earth energy, and like the earth we can all find it challenginging to get moving this time of year. Cold weather and a lack of sunlight can make us more prone to seasonal depression and weight gain, making it the perfect time of year to invigorate with uplifting herbs and spices, and foods and activities that add fire, creativity and spontaneity. This year's winter steeps were crafted to help you celebrate this restorative intention in good taste and balance. Enjoy and be well!
