“interesting, subtle tea that reminds of the coast.” Read full tasting note
A few years ago I took my foraging to the shore, and discovered the world of seaweeds, both nutritionally and medicinally.
Walking along the white sands in Golspie one day, I was reminded of the long history of using seaweed medicinally, when I met an elderly fisherman, who noticed I was collecting handfulls of kelp, and stopped to tell me that his wife used to make a poultice for his knees when he came back from sea, to help his rheumatism.
Highlanders have been using seaweeds for health for centuries. First records show Scottish seaweed broths for convalescing, topical applications for skin, baths and plaisters for body aches and rheumatism and food sources for minerals and nutrition.
The uses are as diverse as the numerous species! None of which are toxic to humans in the UK, so you really can’t go wrong when experimenting!* *although attention must be given to the location of harvesting and other guidelines for safe and ethical foraging.
tì na mara // tea of the sea
Is a blend of native mineral rich medicinal herbs, including nettle, wild oats, bramble leaf and tangy dulse flakes all sourced in Scotland and sustainably harvested.
It really is a powerfully mineral rich loose leaf tea, that supports bone health, aids lymphatic cleansing, and skin rejuvenation.
It has a satisfyingly rich flavour, very nourishing, with just a slight saltiness reminiscent of the sea air.
