Discover the wealth of Estonia’s nature with a cup of tea! In Örrekes’ workshop, we will dive into the world of medicinal plants and herbs, from which Estonians have long drawn health and strength.
An experienced instructor introduces the tastes, smells and useful properties of different plants and talks about their role in Estonian folklore. You’ll learn when to collect the plants, how to dry them and which blends to choose for different moods and needs – whether it’s a calming evening tea, a stimulating breakfast or a Christmas treat.
In the practical part, each participant blends their own unique tea blend – using herbs from the gardens of Örreke and the meadows of Leenu Farm in Saaremaa. Our recipe selection includes:
-
A Christmas tea that brings a festive feeling of peppercorns, spruce and citrus.
-
An invigorating morning tea with a stimulating blend of sensual herbs, mint or ginger.
-
A calming evening tea with lemon balm or lavender.
-
A tea with a blend of herbs that has a lightening effect.
Or create your own unique blend that reflects your taste preferences and how you feel.
The finished mixture is packaged in a cute gift box – a genuine and personal gift for yourself or your loved ones.
