So much has changed since our family hitched up our 'wagons'  in March of 2007 and
simplified our lives. 

Two years of listening... learning... loving...
Of finding treasures where the wild things grow- on the road less traveled.
Of discovering the beauty of our family- working, living, sleeping, playing... together.
Of going through some tough times... and learning what really matters.
Two years of living simply... and more simply in love...

It's been a journey of discovery and exploration;
 mountains and valleys...
of  dreams realized and new courses being set.

New businesses... new products... new ideas.
Stay tuned for our  2010 re-opening soon!

Shade Tree Cottage Handcrafted Teas & Tisanes

Is there anything more comforting and enjoyable than a cup of handcrafted loose leaf tea or tisane?  Perfect for any reason, any season, or anytime: morning tea with breakfast, cup of energy in the afternoon, or Carla Lynne's favorite sweet sleep blend to give you a full and rested sleep. 

Perhaps with the start of the New Year, you may have set some goals for your health and body. Good for you!  It is a good time to either start thinking about starting a whole body detox now, or planning for one in the Spring.  Shade Tree Cottage Herbal Teas & Tisanes might give you some ideas on where to start...

The herbal tea blends are some of Carla Lynne's personal formulary and recipes for use in cleansing, support, comfort and relief, and personal enjoyment.  There are a few perfect for helping bring comfort during the cold and flu season, after working outside in the cold, or curled up with a good book on a snowy afternoon! 

Shade Tree Cottage Handcrafted Teas & Tisanes are made fresh the day you order.  All of our teas are organic and fair trade, and come in a lined kraft bag with a resealable top for freshness. 

Shade Tree Cottage also has some of the best tea pots, strainers, and tea accessories in our Shade Tree Cottage Tea Pots and Accessories and a fine selection of  Mortars and Pestles for helping you prepare the perfect, healthy, cup of tea!
