Creating Teas & Tisanes

Discover the difference between a true tea and a tisane by going back to the basics of the leaf and flower in this class. We’ll explore the origins of Camellia sinensis (true tea) and contrast it with the diverse world of herbal tisanes—infusions made from roots, barks, fruits, and blossoms.
Sip, savor, and learn how to craft a brew that is as therapeutic as it is delicious by unlocking a plant's true potential. Cultivate your palate, refine your brewing technique, and enjoy botanical bliss. Everyone will also take home a bag of herbal tea.

Community Instructor: Lily Kunning
Lily Kunning is a rebel with a cause: wellness. As a clinical herbalist, educator, and the fiery force behind Haven Herbs, she didn't just stumble into the plant world; she dove in headfirst. After training in California, she moved to Columbus- only to find a serious lack of herbalism. So, in true Lily fashion, she opened her own shop and started an Herbalists Without Borders chapter. That legendary storefront eventually became Haven Herbs.
At the helm, she is potion master, creating herbal remedies and body care with a transparent, no-BS approach. Her mission is to empower people with "the people's medicine," teaching classes and even running an online school. In short, Lily Kunning is a punk-rock plant whisperer working to make the world a healthier, more irreverent place.
