Seasonal Sampler

This selection of seasonal steeps is a great way to sample some Homegrown infusions crafted with Spring in mind for 2022.

Dominated by the Pitta dosha, it's the perfect time of year to clear away winter's ama, and to find balance with the fiery moving energy of spring. This year's spring steeps emphasize cooling, cleansing and nourishing herbs, intended to help balance body and mind with the equinox, and foster a healthy start to warmer days, later nights and a fruitful summer to come.
