The Herbal Gourmet

The Herbal Gourmet has been a home-based business specializing in organic caffeine free teas & gourmet herb blends plus accessories and gift items, but in 2009 is adding some new opportunities to learn about, experience and use - teas, herbs and gourmet herb gardening - the three focal areas of the business.

Information is now available from two sources online - the website at www.theherbalgourmet.com featuring the "Herb of the Month" and our new blog at www.theherbalgourmet.blogspot.com featuring a hodgepodge of information weekly on tea, herbs and gardens. Sign-up for our e-Newsletter for links plus a tip and recipe each month.

There is a new "Sample of the Month" club available too THG Sampler. It is a combination of information from the three existing clubs on the focal areas which include a newsletter with tips and recipes or garden ideas plus a sample of tea, herbs or seeds which are mailed to members each month with an annual subscription. All four are great for special gifts or just to treat yourself!

Several entertaining and educational presentations can be provided by The Herbal Gourmet for groups of all sizes along with a tea tasting or herb demonstration. A complete list of topics can be obtained on our website or contact us at 724-735-4055 for a list plus additional information or fees. Custom presentations are also available upon request.

Finally, we have added new "gatherings" to our hands-on classes this year which are less expensive but still provide an atmosphere for friendship and inspiration while learning how to use teas and herbs in creative ways plus how to add them to your daily lives and gardens.
