Join us in the third & fourth class of our 4-week herbalism workshop over the next 2 months, every other Tuesday evening at Eridanus Brewing. Kristen Matthews half of the Eridanus brewing duo, and creator of Appalachian Folkology the breweries herbalism/tea brand, will be leading these classes. Guest herbal educators and farmers will be joining us on some evenings to share their knowledge.

Single classes are $15 each and weekly classes must be purchased by the Saturday before each scheduled class. Missed classes can not be made up or refunded, due to the required preparation that goes into each class. Click the ticket link to reserve your spot.

We will work on creating your own custom tea blends by combining leaves, petals, roots, seeds, and other plant parts. This is a foundational skill for all herbalists. With time and experience, you can gain the confidence to mix and brew your own teas that not only taste delicious but are also tailored to support your physical and emotional well-being!

Imagine waking up and knowing exactly which herbs to grab for your morning mug. Feeling stressed? You’ll have a soothing blend at the ready. Heard there’s a heatwave rolling in? You’ll confidently toss your favorite cooling herbs into your sun tea jar. Hosting a tea party? Your guests are in for a treat. Practical application of knowledge is the goal.

In this workshop, we will share everything you need to know to start blending and brewing custom herbal tea blends at home. We will also take a look at other ways to utilize herbs for tinctures, salves, and poultices/compresses. Each class features a make and take project that gets your own little herbal apothecary started.

You’ll learn which supplies you need to get started, how to best source and store your plant material, how to brew each type of tea, and how to create safe, effective, delicious tea blends that are 100% custom to you.

We'll explore some favorite herbs for teas—along with common herbs and weeds that can be found or grown in our region—and you’ll learn a reliable formula that the experts use to create well-balanced tea blends.

You'll receive tea recipes that support common upsets, from digestion to mood, plus a collection of beautifully organized notes and information on the herbs and multiple ways to use them. Each class will have the supplies provided.
