The Heart Behind the Herbs

“Plants know how to make food and medicine from light and water, and then give it away.”

— Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass

Hello! I’m Kika, the person behind Heart-Tea — a small botanical business centered around intentionally crafted tea blends, plant medicine and homemade botanical products, with a focus on experiencing the power that plants have to offer.

Each tea blend and product is thoughtfully made to gently support the body and mind — from my home apothecary into your hands. Perfect for any tea-and-plant-lover, anyone seeking a little extra support, wanting to create a new ritual, or for those who are getting into herbalism themselves. Every goody is handmade, hand-packed by me and treated with love and a little bit of magic.

All botanicals are sourced as close to home as possible and are organic or sustainably wild-crafted where they can — ensuring that the plants I work with are grown and gathered with care and respect for the land.
