Functional Mushrooms
A tough forest companion shaped by use and necessity
Birch Polypore (Fomitopsis betulina) is a firm, bracket-forming fungus found growing almost exclusively on birch trees across northern forests.
Unlike soft, food-like mushrooms, Birch Polypore is dense, bitter and purposeful in character. It has a long history of practical use across Europe, where it was valued not as a delicacy or tonic, but as a dependable forest ally — something carried, prepared and returned to when needed.
Archaeological and historical records suggest Birch Polypore was used for a wide range of everyday applications, from slow decoctions to external preparations, and even as a material for carrying embers or crafting tools. Its reputation was built on reliability rather than comfort, and on function rather than flavour.
Birch Polypore grows deliberately, forming tough, leathery brackets that reflect its role in the woodland ecosystem. Traditional preparations respected this structure, typically involving long simmering or careful slicing to allow its dense material to soften and release gradually.
Our Birch Polypore is wild foraged by hand from mature birch woodland, harvested with care and dried slowly. It is sliced or left in chunky pieces to preserve its natural form, allowing you to prepare it traditionally and intentionally, without rushing or excessive processing.
This is Birch Polypore in its simplest form — robust, unrefined, and closely tied to the practical traditions that shaped its use.
Ingredients
Wild foraged Birch Polypore (Fomitopsis betulina)
Traditional Preparation
Birch Polypore has traditionally been prepared through long, gentle simmering or slow extraction methods, reflecting its dense structure and practical nature. Preparation is typically patient and deliberate, allowing time for the material to soften and release gradually.
Notes
• Wild foraged from birch woodland
• Sliced or left in chunks for traditional preparation
• Dense, bitter and robust in character
• Historically valued for practical, everyday use
• Best approached slowly and with intention

A finely ground mushroom for steady, everyday use
Lion’s Mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus) is a distinctive edible fungus, long valued as both food and tonic within traditional East Asian practice.
Unlike whole chunks, Lion’s Mane powder offers a more accessible way to work with this mushroom regularly. Traditionally, Lion’s Mane was approached as something to be included consistently over time — prepared carefully and returned to often, rather than used for quick or dramatic effect.
With its soft structure and neutral, food-like character, Lion’s Mane lends itself well to gentle preparation. When finely ground, it becomes easy to incorporate into warm drinks, broths or everyday recipes, allowing it to sit quietly within daily routines rather than standing apart from them.
Rather than being prized for intensity, Lion’s Mane has historically been valued for consistency and familiarity — something prepared simply and used without urgency.
Our Lion’s Mane mushroom powder is cultivated in Wales using clean, controlled growing conditions. The fruiting bodies are harvested at maturity, dried gently, and milled finely to create a smooth powder suitable for everyday use.
This is Lion’s Mane in a practical, versatile form — minimally processed, carefully prepared, and intended for steady, thoughtful use.
Ingredients
Cultivated Lion’s Mane mushroom powder (Hericium erinaceus)
Traditional Preparation
Lion’s Mane mushroom powder can be stirred into hot water, broths or other warm drinks, or incorporated into cooking. Preparation is typically simple and unhurried, reflecting its traditional role as a food-like medicinal mushroom used consistently over time.
Notes
• Cultivated in Wales
• Finely milled for easy, everyday use
• Edible, food-like medicinal mushroom
• Suited to regular, steady routines

Chaga, but slightly more convenient
Known as “The King Of Medicinal Mushrooms”, Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is a slow-growing fungus with a deep relationship to the forests it comes from.
Found growing on mature birch trees in cold northern climates, Chaga has been gathered for centuries across Northern Europe, Russia, and parts of Asia. Traditionally, it was valued not for quick results or stimulation, but for its steady, grounding presence and its association with long-term resilience and balance.
Unlike faster-growing fungi, Chaga develops over many years, shaped by cold, wind, and time. Folk traditions describe it as deeply earthy and robust in character, often prepared patiently as part of daily or seasonal routines rather than used occasionally or in haste.
Our Chaga powder begins life as whole, wild-foraged Chaga, harvested by hand from remote Scottish birch forests, far from roads, agriculture, and pollution. The dried chunks are then carefully ground into a fine powder, making Chaga easier to work with while staying true to traditional preparation methods.
Powdered Chaga offers a more accessible way to build this slow, steady fungus into everyday rhythms — whether prepared gently in hot water or incorporated into longer infusions over time.
This is Chaga in a form that fits modern routines, without losing its ancient patience.
Ingredients
Wild Scottish Chaga (Inonotus obliquus)
Traditional Preparation
Chaga powder is traditionally steeped gently in hot water or simmered briefly, then strained before use.
Notes
• Wild foraged in the Scottish Highlands
• Finely ground from whole Chaga chunks
• Deep, earthy, and grounding in character
• Prepared slowly, without shortcuts

Mushroom Coffee
A slower cup for steadier mornings
This blend brings together carefully roasted coffee with Lion’s Mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus), creating a drink intended for unhurried mornings and longer rhythms rather than sharp jolts.
Coffee has long been part of daily ritual — not just as a stimulant, but as a pause, a marker of time, a reason to stop and gather. Lion’s Mane has traditionally been approached in much the same way: as a food-like mushroom valued for steady inclusion rather than intensity.
Combined thoughtfully, the two sit comfortably together. The coffee provides warmth, depth and familiarity, while Lion’s Mane is present quietly in the background, prepared and taken as part of a routine rather than a shortcut.
Rather than overpowering the cup, Lion’s Mane is included in measured proportion, allowing the character of the coffee to remain intact. The result is a balanced, grounding blend suited to daily use — something to return to, not rush through.
Our Lion’s Mane Coffee Blend is made in small batches using cultivated Lion’s Mane grown in Wales and quality roasted coffee. The mushroom is prepared carefully before blending, ensuring it integrates smoothly into the drink without dominating flavour or texture.
This is a coffee blend shaped by pace and intention — familiar, steady, and made for everyday use.
Ingredients
Ground coffee, cultivated Lion’s Mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus)
Preparation
Prepare as you would your usual coffee — brewed, pressed or filtered. The blend is designed to fit easily into existing routines without additional steps or complexity.
When brewed, Lion’s Mane can release a small amount of natural mucilage. This may appear as a slightly fuller mouthfeel or gentle cloudiness in the cup and is a normal characteristic of the mushroom. It doesn’t affect flavour and is simply part of how Lion’s Mane behaves when prepared with hot water.
Use a coffee frother, or stir vigorously, to get a creamier consistency from the Lion’s Mane.
Notes
• Cultivated Lion’s Mane grown in Wales
• Balanced coffee flavour with subtle mushroom presence
• Designed for regular, everyday use
• Made in small batches

For mornings that don’t need shouting at
Some routines don’t need reinventing — just gently rebalanced.
Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is a slow-growing forest fungus, traditionally prepared patiently and returned to regularly rather than used for quick results. Coffee, on the other hand, has always been about rhythm: the familiar pause, the smell, the warmth of a mug held between both hands.
This blend brings the two together without drama.
Wild Scottish Chaga is combined with ethically sourced ground coffee, creating a simple preparation that feels familiar while quietly shifting the tone of the ritual. The result is steady and grounding in character, with the recognisable depth of coffee softened by Chaga’s slower, earthier presence.
Traditionally, Chaga was simmered or infused gently over time. Here, it’s prepared in a more modern, everyday-friendly form — not rushed, just adapted.
Officially speaking, this product is not a drink.
It is a food supplement with a suggested preparation method involving hot water.
The kettle, however, remains unconcerned.
Prepared in small batches using uncomplicated ingredients, this blend is for those who enjoy familiar routines, just with a little more intention — and slightly less hurry.

Definitely a supplement. Involves hot water.
Some combinations feel inevitable.
Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is a slow-growing forest fungus shaped by cold air, patience, and time. Chai spices, by contrast, come from warmth, trade routes, and kitchens built around comfort and ritual. This blend brings the two together — steady and grounding on one side, aromatic and familiar on the other.
Traditionally, Chaga was prepared patiently, often simmered or infused over time and returned to regularly as part of long-term routines rather than quick fixes. Chai spice blends, meanwhile, have long been used to add warmth, depth, and balance — not to rush the body forward, but to make slower moments more enjoyable.
This blend combines wild Scottish Chaga with a carefully chosen chai-style spice mix and coffee, creating a powdered preparation intended to be used thoughtfully and in moderation.

Some things exist in the space between practicality and comfort.
Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is a slow-growing forest fungus, traditionally prepared with patience and used as part of long-term routines rather than quick fixes. Cacao and coffee, by contrast, have always belonged to moments of warmth, familiarity, and quiet indulgence — grounding rituals as much as flavours.
This blend brings those worlds together.
Wild Scottish Chaga is combined with ethically sourced coffee and raw cacao, creating a powdered preparation that feels rich and familiar without tipping into excess. The cacao adds depth and softness, the coffee brings warmth and body, and the Chaga sits underneath it all — steady, earthy, and unhurried.
Traditionally, Chaga was simmered or infused gently, allowing time to do the work. Here, that same slow philosophy is adapted into a more accessible form — one that fits easily into everyday rhythms while still rewarding a pause.

A little wild wisdom in every cup.
Rich coffee, indulgent cacao and the earthy goodness of Lion’s Mane mushroom — a deliciously different brew for your daily coffee ritual.
Our Lion’s Mocha brings together ground coffee, Lion’s Mane mushroom powder and raw cacao to create a distinctive blend that combines the familiar comfort of coffee with deep chocolate notes and a subtle earthy undertone.
Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is a fascinating edible mushroom recognised by its cascading, shaggy white spines. It has a long history of culinary use in parts of Asia and has become a popular ingredient in modern mushroom blends. Raw cacao adds a naturally rich, chocolatey depth, balancing beautifully with the roasted character of the coffee.
Whether you’re easing into a slow morning, settling down with a good book or taking a well-earned pause in the middle of a busy day, Lion’s Mocha offers a delicious way to bring something a little different to your mug.
How to Enjoy
Add your desired amount to hot water and prepare according to your usual ground-coffee brewing method. For a creamier mocha, add warmed milk or your favourite plant-based alternative.

Herbal Tea
A calm, dependable brew with no interest in caffeine drama
Ivan Chai is a tea with a history shaped by necessity, landscape, and patience.
Made from the leaves of Fireweed (Chamerion angustifolium), this traditional fermented tea has been prepared for centuries across Eastern Europe and Northern regions, particularly in Russia and surrounding areas. Before imported teas became common, Ivan Chai was a staple — gathered from wild plants, carefully fermented, and brewed daily as part of ordinary life.
Fireweed is one of the first plants to return after disruption. It thrives in clearings, woodland edges, and places where the land has been disturbed, growing tall and bright where other plants hesitate. That resilience is reflected in how the tea feels: steady, grounding, and gently restorative, without stimulation or sharpness.
The traditional fermentation process deepens the flavour and softens the plant’s edges, transforming fresh green leaves into something darker, richer, and more rounded. The result is a smooth, mellow tea with notes that are often described as malty, honeyed, and softly floral, without bitterness and without caffeine.
Ivan Chai has long been valued not as a “pick-me-up”, but as a tea for balance and rhythm — something to return to throughout the day or in the quieter hours, supporting a slower pace rather than pushing against it.
Our Ivan Chai is prepared using traditional fermentation methods and handled with care, allowing time to do the work rather than rushing the process. It’s a tea with depth, history, and a quiet confidence — no embellishment needed.
🌿 Make Your Own Blends
Ivan Chai’s smooth, rounded flavour makes it an excellent base for blending, adding depth without overpowering more delicate herbs. It pairs well with plants that bring softness, freshness, or gentle floral notes, creating balanced, easy-drinking blends.
Try blending with:
Hawthorn Blossom – softens and lifts the blend with gentle floral notes
Rose – adds sweetness and aroma
Cleavers – lightens the blend for springtime sipping
A great option for people who want a caffeine-free tea with body and balance.

A classic for a reason
Chamomile is one of those plants that feels like it’s always been around — quietly reliable, softly scented, and woven into everyday life across cultures and generations.
Made from the dried flowers of Matricaria chamomilla, chamomile has been gathered and brewed for centuries across Europe and beyond. It was traditionally valued not for strength or intensity, but for its gentle, comforting nature — a plant people returned to in the evenings, after long days, or whenever something softer was needed.
When brewed, chamomile makes a light, golden tea with a delicate floral sweetness and a faint apple-like note. It’s calm and uncomplicated, with no bitterness and no sharp edges — the kind of tea that doesn’t demand attention, but quietly earns its place.
Our chamomile is prepared simply and with care, allowing the character of the flowers to speak for themselves. It’s a tea best enjoyed slowly, whether as part of a bedtime ritual, a quiet afternoon pause, or just because the moment calls for something gentle.
Ingredients

Notes
• Naturally caffeine-free

Fresh, green, and very much doing its own thing
Cleavers (Galium aparine) is a plant that doesn’t wait to be invited.
It appears early in the year, spilling through hedgerows, woodland edges, and damp corners, catching on sleeves as you pass — a quiet signal that the seasons are shifting. In traditional European folk herbalism, Cleavers was gathered fresh each spring and valued as a plant of movement and clearing, closely associated with the body’s natural systems of cleansing, flow and renewal.
Rather than stimulating or forcing change, Cleavers has long been described as gentle, cooling, and quietly supportive, often returned to after the heaviness of winter. Folk traditions speak of it as a plant for easing stagnation and encouraging things to move freely again — a soft reset rather than a strong intervention.
When dried with care, Cleavers makes a light, grassy tea with a clean, fresh character. It’s subtle rather than bold, and traditionally suited to regular, everyday use as part of a seasonal routine rather than a one-off remedy.
Our Cleavers tea is gathered in season and dried slowly to preserve the plant’s delicate nature. It’s a tea that reflects spring itself — fresh, unassuming, and best appreciated when taken steadily and simply.
🌿 Make Your Own Blends
Cleavers blends best with other light, gentle herbs, lending a fresh, green quality without dominating the cup. It works especially well in simple blends designed for everyday use and seasonal transitions.
Try blending with:
Hawthorn Blossom – floral and calming, very springlike
Ivan Chai – adds warmth and depth to Cleavers’ lightness
Mint – freshens and brightens without overpowering
Best for light, everyday blends rather than strong, single-note brews.
Ingredients
Cleavers (Galium aparine)

Fresh, cooling, and straight to the point.
Peppermint is a plant that knows exactly what it’s doing. Bright, aromatic, and unmistakable, Mentha × piperita has been gathered and brewed for centuries across Europe and beyond. Traditionally, it earned its place not through subtlety, but through its clean, refreshing character — a plant people reached for when something lighter, clearer, or more straightforward was called for.
When brewed, peppermint produces a vivid, cooling infusion with a crisp menthol edge and a naturally clean finish. It’s bold without being overwhelming, and leaves the palate feeling refreshed rather than weighed down.
Our peppermint is dried gently to preserve its natural oils and vibrant flavour, resulting in a tea that feels fresh and purposeful. It works just as well on its own as it does in blends, bringing lift and clarity wherever it’s needed.

Hawthorn blossom is a fleeting thing.
For just a short window each spring, hedgerows soften with pale flowers carrying a light, almond-like scent — a moment that has been marked, gathered, and remembered across European herbal traditions for centuries. Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) has long been regarded as a plant of gentleness, steadiness, and emotional balance, associated as much with folklore and seasonal ritual as with herbal practice.
Traditionally, Hawthorn blossom was used in calm, everyday preparations rather than quick fixes. Herbalists valued it for its softening, steadying nature — a plant often described as patient rather than powerful, working gradually and quietly over time. It was commonly taken as a tea during spring and early summer, aligning with renewal, rhythm, and reconnection after winter.
When brewed, Hawthorn blossom makes a light, floral tea with subtle sweetness and a slightly green finish. It’s delicate rather than bold, and rewards slow sipping and simple preparation.
Our Hawthorn blossom tea is gathered in season and dried carefully to preserve its fragrance and gentle character. It’s a tea best suited to unhurried moments — reflective, calming, and quietly restorative in feel.
🌿 Make Your Own Blends
Hawthorn blossom blends beautifully with other gentle herbs, making it a lovely base for personal, intuitive tea blends. Whether you’re blending for flavour, mood, or seasonal rhythm, it pairs best with plants that share its soft, steady temperament.
Blend ideas to try:
Ivan Chai
Smooth, grounding, and mellow — a comforting everyday blend with depth and warmth.
Cleavers
Light, fresh, and springlike — delicate and cooling, ideal for gentle daily use.
Linden

A little wild magic in every cup.
Earthy, aromatic and steeped in folklore, mugwort is one of those plants that has captured people’s imaginations for generations.
Made from mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris), this distinctive herbal infusion has a robust, herbaceous flavour with pleasantly bitter notes and a warming, aromatic finish. Its character is wonderfully untamed — a tea for those who enjoy exploring the wilder side of the herbal world.
Mugwort has a long history in European folk traditions, where it was associated with protection, seasonal rituals and the natural rhythms of the year. It also appears in traditional herbal practices across different cultures, making it a fascinating plant for anyone interested in botanical history and folklore.
Its name is often linked to old European customs involving mugwort and midsummer celebrations, when the plant was associated with protection and good fortune. Today, it remains a favourite among plant enthusiasts, folklore lovers and those drawn to the stories woven around our native wild herbs.
How to Enjoy
Add a small amount to freshly boiled water and steep for around 3–5 minutes, adjusting carefully to taste, as mugwort can become quite bitter with longer brewing. Strain before drinking.
Its bold herbal flavour is best approached simply at first, so you can get to know the character of the plant.
Ingredients
Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris)
A Few Things to Know
A wild herbal classic: A distinctive plant with a rich history in European folklore.

Bold and not easily overlooked
Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea) carries a long-standing reputation as a plant of strength. Native to North America and later adopted into European herbal traditions, echinacea has been used for generations as a supportive herb, particularly during the colder months or times when resilience is called for. It’s a plant that has become closely associated with the body’s natural defences — not as a quick fix, but as something steady and reliable.
In traditional use, echinacea was often taken at the first sign of seasonal shifts, or as part of a broader routine to support balance and vitality. It’s typically described as active, present, and slightly warming in character — less subtle than many herbs, but still grounded rather than overpowering.
When prepared as a tea, echinacea produces a distinctive infusion with an earthy, slightly bitter base and a recognisable tingling sensation on the tongue. It’s a flavour that feels purposeful — not designed to disappear into the background, but to be experienced.
Our Echinacea tea is prepared in small batches, allowing the plant’s full character to come through without being overprocessed. Nothing refined away — just the natural profile of the herb, handled with care.
🌿 Make Your Own Blends
Echinacea works well alongside herbs that soften or round its boldness, or complement its warming nature.
Try blending with:

Best suited to more purposeful blends rather than delicate, subtle infusions.

Soft, sunny, and quietly comforting.
Known botanically as Calendula officinalis, its vivid orange and yellow petals have been gathered and used for centuries across European herbal traditions. Calendula was traditionally valued for its gentle, soothing nature, and for the way it brings a little brightness to both blends and routines without overwhelming them.
When brewed on its own, calendula produces a light, softly herbal infusion with a mild, slightly resinous sweetness. It’s subtle rather than bold, and often appreciated as much for its colour and presence as for its flavour.
Our calendula heads are dried carefully to preserve their colour and character, making them especially well suited to blending. Whether used alone or combined with other herbs, calendula brings warmth, balance, and a sense of lightness to the cup.
This is a tea that feels quietly optimistic — simple, gentle, and easy to return to.

Raspberry leaf is a plant with a quiet reputation.
Made from the leaves of Rubus idaeus, it has been gathered and brewed for generations, not for drama or intensity, but for its steady, dependable nature. Traditionally, it was a tea people returned to regularly, woven into everyday routines rather than saved for special moments.
When brewed, raspberry leaf produces a smooth, earthy infusion with a slightly green, almost black-tea-like character. It’s fuller in body than many herbal teas, but still gentle and easy to drink — grounding without heaviness.
Our raspberry leaf is dried carefully to preserve its natural balance and flavour, resulting in a tea that feels solid, reassuring, and quietly nourishing in character. It’s particularly well suited to those who enjoy herbal teas with a bit of structure and depth.

Fresh, green, and quietly powerful
Nettle (Urtica dioica) has been working alongside people for a very long time.It rises early in the year, pushing up through disturbed ground, woodland edges, and hedgerows — often overlooked or avoided, but deeply rooted in traditional European herbal practice. For generations, nettle has been gathered in spring as a nourishing plant, valued not for intensity, but for its steady, strengthening presence.
In folk traditions, nettle was often turned to after winter — a time when the body called for replenishment and support. Rather than acting quickly or dramatically, it’s long been associated with building, restoring, and gently bringing things back into balance. It’s a plant of resilience, both in how it grows and how it’s been used.
When handled and dried with care, nettle transforms completely. The sting disappears, leaving behind a rich, green tea with a rounded, earthy flavour. There’s a depth to it — something mineral, slightly grassy, and quietly satisfying — more grounding than light, more sustaining than fleeting.

A little woodland magic in every cup.

A rich, roasted, earthy brew for those moments when you fancy something warming and comforting, without reaching for the coffee beans.
Made from roasted dandelion root (Taraxacum officinale), this traditional herbal drink has a deep, toasty flavour with pleasantly bitter notes and a natural earthiness reminiscent of coffee. Roasting brings out the root’s darker, more rounded flavours, creating a satisfying drink to enjoy as part of your daily ritual.
Dandelion has a long history of use in traditional European herbal practices, with its roots valued for a variety of purposes. Roasted dandelion root has also been enjoyed as a coffee substitute for generations, particularly when coffee was scarce or when people wanted a different kind of brew.
How to Enjoy
Brew yourself a comforting mug whenever you fancy a warming alternative to your usual coffee. Enjoy it black to appreciate its roasted, earthy character, or add your favourite milk for a smoother, creamier drink. A little maple syrup or honey can complement its natural bitterness beautifully.
It also makes a lovely base for experimenting with spiced drinks — try a pinch of cinnamon, cardamom or ginger for an extra warming twist.

A gentle brew rooted in wild herbal wisdom.
Soft, earthy and steeped in tradition, mullein is a distinctive wild plant with a fascinating place in the history of herbalism.
Made from the dried leaves of mullein (Verbascum thapsus), this simple herbal infusion celebrates one of the countryside’s most recognisable plants. Its velvety, silver-green leaves and tall golden flower spikes have made it a familiar sight in sunny meadows, field edges and other open places.
Mullein has a long history in traditional European herbal practices, particularly in preparations associated with the throat and chest. Its soft, woolly leaves have inspired generations of plant lore, making it a fascinating botanical for those interested in traditional herbal knowledge.
With its mild, earthy character, mullein leaf tea offers a simple way to explore this traditional plant in a warming cup.
How to Enjoy
Steep the dried leaves in freshly boiled water for around 10–15 minutes, then strain very thoroughly through a fine paper filter or suitable fine-mesh filter before drinking. The tiny hairs on mullein leaves can irritate the mouth and throat, so ordinary coarse tea strainers may not be sufficient.
Enjoy warm and unhurried, allowing the subtle, earthy flavour to speak for itself.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, take medication, or have a medical condition, check with a qualified healthcare professional before using herbal blends regularly. Nettle and dandelion may not be suitable for everyone, and people with allergies to plants in the daisy family should take care with dandelion.

For seasons when the body asks for steadiness
Plant Power is a grounding herbal tea blend created for times when resilience and everyday support feel especially important.
This blend brings together plants traditionally gathered during colder months and periods of challenge — herbs long valued in European folk practice for their relationship with protection, clarity, and balance. Rather than aiming to stimulate or overwhelm, these plants have historically been used to accompany the body through seasonal shifts, offering quiet reinforcement and warmth.
Self heal has been known in traditional herbalism as a humble but dependable plant, often associated with recovery and restoration. Elderflower and mint bring openness and freshness, while spruce tips lend a subtle resinous note long linked with winter traditions. Echinacea and usnea have been widely used in folk practice as boundary plants — herbs turned to when the body feels under pressure rather than at ease.
Plant Power Defence is blended with attention to flavour as well as tradition, resulting in a tea that is fresh, gently aromatic, and easy to drink regularly. It is intended for slow, consistent use — something to return to daily during seasonal transitions, rather than a short-term fix.
This is a tea for colder days, tired systems, and moments when care is best offered quietly and steadily.
Ingredients:
Self heal, elderflower, peppermint, spruce tips, echinacea, usnea
Suggested use:
Enjoy 1–2 cups daily during seasonal changes or whenever a steady, supportive blend feels appropriate.
Made in small batches
Traditionally used herbs associated with seasonal resilience
Balanced for flavour and everyday use
Ideal for daily ritual and seasonal care

For supporting women’s balance through every season of womanhood
Harmony Herbs is a thoughtfully blended herbal tea created to support women through the natural ebb and flow of life’s cycles.
This blend brings together plants that have long histories within folk and herbal traditions, often associated with nourishment, softness, and cyclical balance. Rather than focusing on force or correction, these herbs have traditionally been used to accompany the body through change — offering steadiness, comfort, and a sense of ease.
Raspberry leaf and nettle leaf have been valued as deeply nourishing plants, often gathered for their mineral richness, much needed when your resources are depleted, and compounds supporting womb health. Lady’s mantle carries a quiet reputation as a plant of regulating and balancing, while red clover and calendula have traditionally been associated with softening hormonal transition. Chamomile and rose petals soften the blend, and the mind, bringing floral notes and a sense of calm, both in flavour and character.
Harmony Herbs is blended with attention to both function and taste, creating a tea that is comforting, balanced, and easy to return to day after day. It is intended not as a quick solution, but as a steady companion — something to build into daily or seasonal rituals, especially during times of transition.
This is a tea for slowing down, listening in, and honouring the body’s natural rhythms rather than working against them.
Ingredients:
Raspberry leaf, nettle leaf, chamomile, lady’s mantle, calendula, rose petals, red clover
Suggested use:
Enjoy 1–2 cups daily, during menstruation and hormonal transition throughout every season of life.
Made in small batches

Cool mint meets soft floral notes, earthy roasted depth and a gentle spicy warmth, creating a rounded, satisfying brew that’s lovely after a meal or whenever you fancy something soothing.
These botanicals each have a place in traditional herbal practices.

Whether it’s part of your after-dinner ritual, a quiet moment in a busy day or simply your favourite way to finish a meal, Gut Feeling is a reminder to make a little space for yourself.

Wild Pantry
From pine cones to pancakes. Still can’t believe it works…
Mugolio is a forest syrup with a long memory.
Made from young green pine cones gathered in late spring, this traditional syrup has its roots in Alpine and Northern European folk kitchens, where it was prepared slowly and patiently as a way of preserving the fleeting abundance of the season. Pine cones were packed down, sweetened, and left to transform over time — not rushed, not cooked hard, but allowed to soften and deepen naturally.
As the weeks pass, the cones release their resinous character into the syrup, creating something unexpectedly rich and complex. The result is a deep, dark sweetness with notes of caramel, citrus, pine resin, and molasses — closer in feel to a forest-born treacle than a simple sugar syrup.
Our Scotch Pine Cone Mugolio is made in small batches using wild foraged green pine cones, gathered carefully and infused slowly to allow flavour to develop fully. Nothing is hurried. Time does most of the work.
This is a syrup that invites curiosity. Drizzled over pancakes, stirred into hot drinks, spooned over yoghurt, or used sparingly in desserts, Mugolio brings depth and warmth rather than overt sweetness. A little goes a long way.
It’s one of those rare things that sounds improbable until you taste it — and then makes perfect sense.
Ingredients
Wild foraged Scotch pine cones, organic brown sugar
Notes
• Made using traditional slow-infusion methods
• Deep, resinous sweetness with citrus notes
• Small-batch and seasonally produced
• A little goes a long way

The smell of spring. The taste of “just one more pinch”
Wild garlic season is brief, bright, and unmistakable.
Each spring, woodland floors come alive with glossy green leaves and that familiar, savoury scent that signals the start of the growing year. Known traditionally as ramsons (Allium ursinum), wild garlic has been gathered for generations as one of the first fresh flavours after winter — celebrated less for subtlety, more for its joyful abundance.
Our Wild Garlic Salt is made by foraging young leaves at their peak, blending them with organic sea salt, then drying them gently to preserve the colour and character. The process is simple and deliberate, allowing the flavour of the plant to shine without overpowering it.
The result is a vibrant, savoury seasoning with a deep green hue and a clean, garlicky warmth — softer and more rounded than raw garlic, but still unmistakably wild. It brings depth to everyday cooking without dominating the dish.
Sprinkled over roasted vegetables, stirred into soups and stews, folded through butter, or used to finish eggs, potatoes, and bread, this is a kitchen staple that earns its place quickly.
It’s a small jar of spring woodland — made to be used generously.
Ingredients
Wild foraged garlic leaves (Allium ursinum), organic sea salt
Notes
• Made with hand-foraged wild garlic
• Small-batch and seasonally produced
• Savoury, aromatic, and deeply green in flavour
• A versatile everyday seasoning

Liquid Chaga..
30ml glass dropper bottle
Known as “The King Of Medicinal Mushrooms”, Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is a slow-growing forest fungus shaped by cold climates, clean air, and time.
Found growing on mature birch trees in northern forests, Chaga has been gathered for centuries across Northern Europe, Russia, and parts of Asia. Traditionally, it was approached not as a quick remedy, but as a deeply grounding, steady presence, often prepared patiently and returned to regularly as part of long-term routines.
A triple extract reflects that same philosophy of patience.
This tincture is made using a three-stage extraction process, traditionally used to draw out different qualities of dense, woody fungi like Chaga. By working with water and vegetable glycerin over time, the extraction captures both water-soluble and glycerin-soluble components, resulting in a fuller, more rounded preparation — without the use of alcohol.
Our Chaga Triple Extract Tincture is made slowly, in small batches, using carefully sourced Chaga and traditional methods adapted for an alcohol-free finish. The result is a concentrated yet gentle tincture that fits easily into everyday rhythms.
This is Chaga in its most complete, considered form — deep, steady, and quietly supportive by nature.
Ingredients
Chaga (Inonotus obliquus), vegetable glycerin, water
Notes
• Alcohol-free triple extraction
• Made in small batches
• Deep, grounding, and steady in character
• Prepared slowly using traditional principles

For clarity, focus, and quiet attentiveness
30ml glass dropper bottle
Lion’s mane (Hericium erinaceus) is a distinctive, cascading white mushroom long valued in traditional practice for its association with the mind and nervous system.
Unlike many wild fungi, lion’s mane has a long history of careful cultivation. Our lion’s mane is grown in Wales under controlled conditions that prioritise quality, consistency, and respect for the organism itself. This cultivated approach allows the mushroom to develop fully without pressure on wild ecosystems, while still honouring its traditional use.
Historically, lion’s mane has been regarded as a mushroom of awareness and steadiness — one associated with mental clarity, memory, and the maintenance of calm focus rather than stimulation. Traditional texts and modern interest alike tend to frame lion’s mane as supportive over time, something built into daily or seasonal routines rather than used sporadically.
Our lion’s mane tincture is made slowly using vegetable glycerine and water, creating a completely alcohol-free extraction that suits those seeking a gentler preparation. This method draws out water-soluble compounds while keeping the final tincture smooth, mild, and easy to incorporate into everyday use.
Prepared in small batches with patience and care, this tincture reflects our preference for quiet craft over intensity — allowing the character of the mushroom to speak for itself.
This is a tincture for moments that call for clarity without urgency, and for those drawn to steadier, more attentive rhythms.
Ingredients:
Lion’s mane (Hericium erinaceus), vegetable glycerine, water
(Cultivated in Wales)
Suggested use:
Traditionally taken in small amounts as part of a daily routine.

For those bramble battle scars…
Usnea — often known as “old man’s beard” — is a pale, lichen that grows on trees in clean, undisturbed woodlands. For centuries, it has been gathered and included in simple salves and balms made to care for skin exposed to the elements, valued for its association with cleanliness, protection, and preservation.
In traditional folk use, Usnea salves were applied to weathered hands, dry or cracked skin, minor grazes, and areas prone to irritation, particularly where skin needed calming and shielding rather than heavy treatment. It was also commonly used on skin after exposure to wind, cold, or heat — helping it feel more comfortable and looked after.
Our Usnea Salve is made with a straightforward, nourishing base of coconut oil and beeswax, creating a firm, breathable salve that helps form a protective layer on the skin. This barrier helps lock in moisture while shielding delicate areas from further dryness or friction.
The addition of lemongrass and geranium essential oils brings a fresh, clean scent and contributes to the salve’s traditional role in keeping skin feeling refreshed, balanced, and comfortable. Together, these ingredients create a versatile salve suited to everyday skin care needs.
This salve is commonly used on:
Dry, cracked, or chapped skin
Hands exposed to frequent washing or outdoor work
Elbows, heels, and other rough patches
Skin after minor knocks, scrapes, or heat exposure
Areas that need calming, protection, and extra care
It’s a practical, pocket-friendly staple — simple enough for daily use, rich enough to make a noticeable difference to dry or stressed skin.
Ingredients
Usnea extract, coconut oil, beeswax, geranium essential oil, lemongrass essential oil
Notes
• Handmade in small batches
• Helps soften, protect, and condition dry or irritated skin
• Creates a breathable barrier to support the skin’s natural balance
• Naturally scented with geranium & lemongrass

For when skin needs a little extra backup…
Skin Saviour is a robust herbal balm built around one of nature’s most traditionally respected cleansing botanicals: oregano oil. Strongly aromatic and long valued in herbal preparations, oregano has often been included in balms designed for skin that needs extra care — particularly areas prone to blemishes, irritation, or conditions that thrive in warm or damp environments.
Because of its long-standing association with keeping skin fresh, balanced, and resilient, oregano has traditionally been used in preparations intended for spots, minor cuts, rashes, and skin concerns linked to moisture or fungal growth.
Supporting the oregano is Usnea, a pale woodland lichen often called “old man’s beard.” Usnea has been gathered in traditional folk medicine for centuries and included in salves designed to help care for skin exposed to the elements. It is commonly associated with cleanliness and preservation, and is often used where skin benefits from calming and protective care.
The balm is set in a nourishing base of coconut oil, olive oil, and beeswax, creating a rich but breathable texture that melts easily into the skin. This base helps soften dry areas while forming a light protective barrier that locks in moisture and shields skin from further irritation or friction.
To round out the blend, we’ve added bergamot, frankincense, and clove bud essential oils. These bring a warm, clean aroma while supporting the balm’s traditional role in helping skin feel refreshed, protected, and balanced.
Together these ingredients create a strong, versatile balm suited to everyday skin troubles — particularly where skin needs cleansing, soothing, and protection all at once.
This balm is commonly used on:
• Minor cuts and scrapes
• Spots and blemishes
• Skin prone to rashes or irritation
• Areas exposed to damp conditions
• Skin concerns commonly associated with fungal environments (such as feet or folds of skin)
It’s a practical, pocket-ready balm — equally at home in a backpack, workshop kit, or bathroom cabinet when skin needs quick, reliable care.

A little wild tang, with a peppery twist
Garlic mustard cider vinegar is a simple way to capture the distinctive character of one of spring's most underrated wild plants. Made with garlic mustard, also known as Jack-by-the-hedge (Alliaria petiolata), this botanical vinegar brings together the bright acidity of cider vinegar with the fresh, savoury, gently peppery character of a familiar hedgerow herb.
Garlic mustard is a biennial wild plant commonly found along hedgerows, woodland edges, and shady paths throughout Britain. Its softly crinkled leaves release a distinctive aroma when crushed, combining hints of garlic, mustard, and green herbs. Despite its name, it isn't a true mustard or a member of the garlic family; it belongs to the cabbage family, Brassicaceae, and has a flavour all of its own.
Known by the charming country name Jack-by-the-hedge, this plant has a long history of use as a springtime edible. Its leaves have traditionally been gathered for salads, sauces, and other fresh preparations, offering a peppery, garlicky flavour when many other wild greens are just beginning to emerge.
Our garlic mustard cider vinegar celebrates this seasonal hedgerow ingredient in a versatile, everyday kitchen staple. The cider vinegar provides a bright, tangy base, while the garlic mustard lends its distinctive herbal character, creating a condiment that brings a little of the wild into your cooking.
It's particularly at home in salad dressings and vinaigrettes, where its acidity and savoury notes can complement fresh leaves, roasted vegetables, and earthy ingredients. Try whisking it with olive oil, a little mustard, and honey for a simple dressing, or use a splash to brighten lentil dishes, bean salads, marinades, and homemade sauces.
For the curious cook, it offers another way to explore seasonal foraging beyond the usual wild garlic pesto — a useful bottle to keep close at hand when everyday meals could benefit from a little extra character.
Ways to enjoy garlic mustard cider vinegar:
Whisked with olive oil to make a fresh, peppery salad dressing

A little taste of the forest, sprinkled into everyday life
Wild-foraged Scotch pine needle sugar
Pine sugar is a wonderfully simple way to bring the fresh, aromatic character of the woodland into your kitchen. Made with Scotch pine needles (Pinus sylvestris) and white sugar, this unusual ingredient captures the distinctive evergreen aroma of one of Britain's most recognisable native trees, creating a fragrant sugar with a subtle, wild twist.
Scotch pine, also known as Scots pine, is an evergreen conifer with a long history of traditional use in food and drink. Its needles are known for their fresh, resinous aroma, with bright, green notes that can be reminiscent of citrus, wood, and the outdoors after rainfall. These distinctive characteristics make pine a fascinating botanical ingredient, offering something quite different from conventional flavoured sugars.
Our pine sugar celebrates the simple pleasure of foraging and transforming seasonal ingredients into something special. The white sugar provides a clean, sweet base, allowing the characteristic aromatic notes of the pine to shine through. The result is a fragrant, woodland-inspired sugar that brings a subtle botanical twist to everyday cooking.
Its versatility makes it a lovely ingredient to experiment with. Stir it into tea or other hot drinks for an aromatic evergreen note, sprinkle it over biscuits before baking, or use it to add an unexpected twist to cakes, shortbread, and other sweet treats. It can also be used to create aromatic sugar rims for drinks, adding a little woodland flair to your glass.
For those who enjoy experimenting with wild ingredients, pine sugar offers a simple introduction to the more unusual flavours of the forest. A little can bring a distinctive evergreen character to familiar recipes, making everyday creations feel a little more adventurous.

A taste of the forest, with a savoury twist
Wild-foraged pine cone & balsamic glaze
Our Mugolio Balsamic Glaze brings together three distinctive ingredients: our own homemade Mugolio, high-quality balsamic vinegar, and our wild garlic salt. The result is a rich, tangy, woodland-inspired glaze that combines the deep sweetness of pine cones with the mellow acidity of balsamic and the savoury, aromatic character of wild garlic.
At the heart of this glaze is Mugolio, a traditional Alpine-style pine cone syrup made from young, green pine cones. Slowly prepared to draw out their natural sweetness and distinctive woodland character, our homemade Mugolio develops a wonderfully complex flavour, with notes of caramel, molasses, pine, and a subtle citrus-like brightness.
We combine this unusual ingredient with high-quality balsamic vinegar, bringing a balanced acidity that cuts through the syrup's richness and creates the familiar sweet-and-tangy character of a good balsamic glaze. The vinegar adds depth and complexity, making this a natural companion to roasted ingredients, fresh salads, and savoury dishes.
To finish, we add our wild garlic salt, bringing a gentle savoury edge and the unmistakable flavour of wild garlic. It ties the sweetness and acidity together, creating a rounded, moreish glaze with a distinctly seasonal, foraged character.
The result is a versatile condiment that brings something a little different to the table. Rich enough to stand up to earthy flavours, yet tangy enough to brighten a dish, it makes a wonderful finishing touch for everyday cooking.
Drizzle it over roasted root vegetables, squash, or mushrooms just before serving, or whisk it into olive oil for a woodland-inspired salad dressing. It works beautifully with warm grain salads, grilled vegetables, and caramelised onions, and makes an interesting addition to a savoury cheeseboard.
This is a glaze for those who enjoy exploring unusual ingredients and finding new ways to bring wild flavours into the kitchen — a meeting of woodland sweetness, balsamic tang, and aromatic wild garlic.
Ways to enjoy our Mugolio Balsamic Glaze:

Deep, resinous, and quietly commanding
Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus) is a herb that holds its ground. Growing in sun-soaked, rugged landscapes, rosemary carries an intensity that’s both aromatic and structured — pine-like, savoury, and unmistakably bold. It’s long been a cornerstone of serious cooking, valued for the way it brings depth and definition to a dish rather than simply seasoning it.
Paired with salt, rosemary becomes more composed. The sharper edges soften as its oils settle into the crystals, creating a seasoning that feels integrated and deliberate. What begins as something assertive becomes rounded — still present, but more refined.
The result is a salt with real character. Savoury and aromatic, with a subtle resinous warmth that builds rather than overwhelms. It’s the kind of flavour that lingers in the background, shaping the dish without dominating it.
Our Rosemary Salt is made in small batches using carefully prepared rosemary and mineral-rich Dead Sea salt. Nothing added beyond what’s needed, nothing rushed — just time and attention allowing the blend to come together properly.
It’s a natural finishing salt for robust cooking. Used over roasted potatoes, vegetables, meats, or slow-cooked dishes, it brings structure and depth in a way that feels effortless but considered. A little goes a long way.
Ingredients
Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus), Dead Sea salt
Notes
• Bold, aromatic, and resinous in character

Bright, savoury, and finely balanced
Lemon and thyme is a pairing that feels instinctive — sharp citrus meeting warm, aromatic depth. Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) has long held its place in serious kitchens, valued for the way it anchors flavour without overwhelming it. Paired with lemon, it shifts — becoming lighter, more lifted, and quietly complex. It’s a combination that has moved through centuries of cooking, from rustic preparations to refined, modern plates.
Traditionally, herbs and citrus were combined with salt not just for preservation, but to create something more integrated — a seasoning where each element carries the other. As the blend settles, the brightness of lemon softens into the salt, while thyme’s essential oils deepen and round out the edges.
The result is a clean, aromatic salt with a precise balance — citrus-led at first, followed by a gentle, savoury warmth that lingers. It enhances rather than masks, designed to elevate rather than dominate.
Our Lemon & Thyme Salt is made in small batches using carefully prepared thyme, lemon, and mineral-rich Dead Sea salt. Each element is given time to come together naturally, creating a seasoning that feels considered and complete.
It’s a finishing salt at heart. Scattered over roasted vegetables, used to lift grilled meats or fish, or added just before serving, it brings clarity and structure to a dish. Controlled, deliberate, and quietly expressive. A little goes a long way.
Ingredients
Thyme (Thymus vulgaris), lemon, Dead Sea salt
Notes
• Bright citrus balanced with warm herbal depth
• Clean, aromatic finishing salt
• Designed for precise, elevated seasoning

Simple, savoury, and quietly essential
Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) has long been a staple of kitchens and wild places alike. Growing low to the ground in dry, sunlit spaces, thyme carries an aroma that’s instantly recognisable — warm, herbal, and slightly woody. It’s been used across cultures for centuries, not only for its flavour but for the depth it brings to even the simplest dishes.
In traditional use, thyme was often paired with salt as a way of preserving both flavour and the herb itself — a practical blend that turns something everyday into something far more considered. The combination allows thyme’s essential oils to infuse slowly, creating a seasoning that feels rounded and complete rather than sharp or one-dimensional.
As the two settle together, the salt takes on thyme’s character — aromatic, savoury, and gently warming. It’s not overpowering, but it lingers, adding depth rather than just saltiness.
Our Thyme Salt is made in small batches using carefully prepared thyme and mineral-rich Dead Sea salt. Nothing unnecessary added, nothing taken away — just a simple pairing done properly.
It’s the kind of ingredient that becomes part of your routine without trying. Sprinkled over roasted vegetables, used to finish meats, or added to simple dishes, it brings a subtle, herbal lift that builds over time. A little goes a long way.

Tinctures
For brighter days, balance, and traditional herbal wisdom
30ml glass dropper bottle
St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) is a distinctive flowering plant, recognised by its golden-yellow blossoms and delicate, translucent-dotted leaves. Found along sunny grassland edges, meadows, and hedgerows, it has held a significant place in European herbal traditions for centuries.
Its name is closely associated with midsummer, when the plant typically flowers around the summer solstice. Traditionally gathered during this period, St John's wort has become one of the most recognisable plants in European folk herbalism, surrounded by seasonal customs, folklore, and a long history of botanical use.
Historically, St John's wort has been particularly associated with emotional wellbeing and the changing rhythms of mood. In traditional herbal practice, it has been prepared in a variety of ways, including infused oils, teas, and tinctures. Its bright flowers and sun-loving nature have also given it a symbolic association with light, warmth, and the turning of the seasons.
Our St John's wort tincture is prepared slowly using vegetable glycerine and water, creating a completely alcohol-free liquid extract for those who prefer an alternative to conventional alcohol-based tinctures. Vegetable glycerine provides a naturally smooth, mildly sweet base, making the finished preparation easy to incorporate into an everyday routine.
Prepared in small batches with patience and care, this tincture reflects our appreciation for the knowledge passed down through generations of herbalists and for the plants that continue to inspire that tradition.
St John's wort contains naturally occurring compounds that have been the subject of considerable scientific research. Its traditional history is extensive, and its use deserves a thoughtful approach, particularly because it can interact with many medicines.
This is a tincture rooted in seasonal tradition and botanical curiosity — a way to connect with one of Europe's best-known medicinal plants while approaching herbal preparations with care and respect.
Ingredients:
St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum), vegetable glycerine, water
Suggested use:
Follow the product label for serving instructions. Consult a pharmacist or healthcare professional before use, particularly if taking any medication.
Made in small batches
Alcohol-free (glycerine and water extraction)
Prepared with St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum)
A plant with a long history in European herbal traditions
Important safety information: St John's wort can interact seriously with many medicines, including antidepressants, hormonal contraceptives, anticoagulants, and certain prescription medicines. It may also affect sensitivity to sunlight. Do not use alongside prescribed medication without professional advice. If pregnant or breastfeeding, seek professional advice before use.

For grounding, balance, and inner resilience
30ml glass dropper bottle
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is a distinctive, lacquered red-brown mushroom that grows on hardwood trees and holds a special place in traditional East Asian herbal practice. Often referred to as the “mushroom of immortality”, reishi has been valued for centuries for its association with longevity, balance, and the maintenance of wellbeing.
Unlike mushrooms gathered primarily for their culinary qualities, reishi has a long history of use in traditional herbal preparations, particularly in Chinese and Japanese traditions. Its distinctive fan-shaped fruiting body and rich, woody character have made it one of the most recognisable mushrooms in traditional herbalism, where it has been associated with vitality, longevity, and harmony.
Historically, reishi has been regarded as a mushroom of calm and resilience — one traditionally incorporated into longer-term wellness routines rather than used as a quick fix. Its place in herbal practice reflects an appreciation for consistency, balance, and the quieter rhythms of caring for oneself over time.
Our reishi tincture is made from wild-foraged reishi fruiting bodies, carefully gathered with respect for the woodland environments in which they grow. We use a dual extraction process, combining hot water extraction with vegetable glycerine to create a completely alcohol-free preparation. Hot water and glycerine offer different extraction properties, making this approach well suited to a mushroom with a complex composition.
The finished tincture has a naturally earthy character, reflecting the mushroom itself, with a smooth, mildly sweet quality from the vegetable glycerine. Prepared in small batches with patience and care, it brings together traditional extraction methods and our appreciation for the relationship between people, fungi, and the natural world.
This is a tincture for those drawn to the quieter side of herbalism — a mushroom with a rich history, traditionally associated with grounding, longevity, and a more considered approach to everyday wellbeing.
Ingredients:
Wild-foraged reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) fruiting body, vegetable glycerine, water
Suggested use:
Follow the product label for serving instructions. Traditionally, reishi has been incorporated into regular herbal routines.

Quietly practical, like the fungus itself.
30ml glass dropper bottle
Birch polypore is a mushroom with a long, practical history.
Growing quietly on birch trees across northern forests, Fomitopsis betulina has been found alongside human journeys for thousands of years. It’s perhaps best known from archaeological finds — carried, dried, and valued not for ornament, but for usefulness. This is a fungus that earned its place by being reliable.
Traditionally, birch polypore was gathered and worked with for its drying, steady, and protective qualities, and was often associated with resilience and self-sufficiency. It wasn’t a flashy mushroom, but one that appeared again and again in folk practices where practicality mattered more than performance.
Our Birch Polypore Tincture is made as a slow, alcohol-free extraction using vegetable glycerin and water, a method well suited to its firm, fibrous nature. Prepared in small batches with patience, this approach allows the character of the mushroom to come through gently, without harshness.
This is a tincture for those who appreciate straightforward preparations — simple, measured, and quietly dependable.
Ingredients
Birch polypore (Fomitopsis betulina), vegetable glycerin, water

• Alcohol-free

Woodland fungi. Officially for dogs. Don’t ask…
30ml glass dropper bottle
Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor) is one of the most widely studied and traditionally used mushrooms in the world.
Found growing in layered fans on fallen hardwoods, Turkey Tail has been gathered for centuries across Europe, Asia, and North America. In traditional herbal and folk practices, it was valued for its resilient, adaptive nature — a mushroom associated with steadiness, balance, and long-term support rather than quick effects.
Our Turkey Tail tincture is made using carefully sourced woodland fungi and prepared slowly as a traditional glycerin extraction, allowing the character of the mushroom to be captured in a concentrated, shelf-stable form. It’s a simple, unfussy preparation — made with the same care and attention we bring to everything we produce.
Thanks to new UK “Novel Food” laws, this tincture is labelled for canine use, and is offered for those wishing to include Turkey Tail as part of their dog’s routine. This is the same human/animal safe product we have always sold, but the UK government have labelled it “not for human consumption”. It turns out, four legs make all the difference when it comes to mushroom paperwork…

These are combined with Himalayan salt, valued for its mineral content and gentle cleansing qualities. In bathing traditions around the world, mineral salts have been used to refresh the skin and leave it feeling soft, balanced, and restored.
Scattered throughout the blend are calendula flowers and rose petals. Calendula has long been included in skin-loving herbal preparations, traditionally used to comfort and condition the skin, while rose petals bring a gentle floral touch associated with soothing and uplifting the senses.

A forest lichen shaped by air, weather and patience
Often called Old Man’s Beard, Usnea barbata is a slow-growing lichen that hangs quietly from trees in clean, healthy woodland environments.
Neither plant nor fungus alone, Usnea is a living partnership - a symbiosis between algae and fungus - and its presence is often taken as a sign of good air quality and an intact ecosystem. It grows slowly, responding directly to its surroundings, drawing what it needs from rain, mist and atmosphere rather than soil.
Usnea has a long history of traditional use across Europe, North America and parts of Asia, where it was valued for its protective, cleansing and preserving qualities. Folk traditions often worked with it externally, or prepared it carefully for specific, practical purposes rather than everyday consumption.
Unlike fast-growing herbs, Usnea requires patience and familiarity. It is light, fibrous and deceptively resilient, with a distinctive elastic inner core that sets it apart from similar-looking lichens. Traditional preparations respected this structure, often extracting it slowly or using it fresh where appropriate.
Our Usnea is wild foraged by hand from clean woodland environments, harvested sparingly and with care. Each piece is checked carefully, dried gently, and left whole, allowing you to work with it traditionally and intentionally, without rushing or over-processing.
This is Usnea in its simplest form - lightly handled, thoughtfully gathered, and closely tied to the landscapes it comes from.
Ingredients
Wild foraged Usnea (Usnea barbata)
Traditional Preparation
Usnea has traditionally been prepared through slow extraction methods or used externally in crafted preparations. Because it is potent and distinctive in character, it has historically been worked with deliberately and with attention to method, rather than casually infused.
Notes
• Wild foraged from clean woodland environments
• Carefully identified and hand harvested
• Dried gently and left whole
• Traditionally valued for protective and practical use
• Best approached with care and intention

A beautiful beeswax candle made by taking a mould from a family ornament. Therefore, you won't find this particular candle available on shop shelves elsewhere.
And it’s of course made using the beeswax from Jem’s apiary.
Each candle has a unique natural tone, just like the beeswax bars Jem sells. This is because Jem collects the beeswax cappings, scrapings, and pieces of broken comb, and then separates them out according to the tone. Some piles of beeswax end up being darker than others and this is because the comb is a bit older and has most likely come from the brood chamber of the hive. It is still excellent to use! Each pile of wax is then melted and filtered to get rid of any hive debris. Then, the clean wax is poured in to the handmade mould. The candle you buy might be light yellow, golden yellow, orange, or a warm brown.
Beeswax candles burn cleanly and brightly and the wax doesn't smoke.
Burn time can be around 12.5+ hours.
Each candle will be supplied in a cardboard tube.
A longtime favourite among customers, Jem’s Bees® Lip Balm is crafted with both simplicity and quality in mind. Made from all-natural ingredients, it blends beeswax from Jem’s Bees® hives with soothing sunflower oil and rich cocoa butter. That’s it.
This unflavoured balm comes in a 15ml glass jar, perfect for keeping your lips hydrated and soft wherever you go.
A Natural Way to Care for Your Furniture

A little of this stuff goes a long way.
Beeswax is incredibly versatile, with countless practical uses. These bars are crafted from surplus wax scrapings and cappings collected from the hives in Jem's apiary. The wax is carefully melted down, hand-filtered, and poured into moulds, resulting in high-quality beeswax bars. Curious about how the wax is processed? Read the blog on the Jem’s Bees website to see how Jem does it!
Since the wax is sourced from both brood boxes and honey supers, the natural colour of the bars can vary from yellow to light brown.
Bars typically weigh between 28-35g.
The Jem's Bees® All-Natural Soap is a longstanding favourite and is made with three exceptional hive ingredients: honey, beeswax, and propolis, all gathered from Jem's beehives.
This soap combines these natural bee ingredients with coconut, olive, and sunflower oils, along with molasses, witch hazel, and apple cider vinegar, creating a straightforward, effective soap that cleanses beautifully. It’s kind to sensitive skin.
The chunky block lathers generously and offers a gentle touch, free from synthetic fragrances and colourants. It has a subtle, natural scent and comes wrapped in two recyclable paper wrappers with no glue used in the packaging. Each soap block weighs approximately 125g.

We’re not here to offer miracle cures - just honest, earth-grown products made to support wellbeing, flavour, and connection to the world around us. Everything is small-batch, season-led, and made with transparency, so you know exactly what’s in your jar, pouch, or bottle.
We work with foraged and natural ingredients based on their long-held traditional uses, blending old wisdom with our own hands-on experience. But nature works differently for everyone, and every body has its own story. If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, on medication, or managing a health condition, it’s always wise to check in with a healthcare professional before trying something new.
We believe in mindful, informed use of nature’s gifts, and we’re always happy to chat, guide, and share what we know.
