3:30 - 4:15 pm - Blending with Intention: Medicinal Herbal Infusion for Embodied Wellness (Miho Hatanaka)
Herbal tisanes are far more than a caffeine-free alternative to tea — they are precisely blended plant medicines with deep roots in herbalism, nutrition science, and whole-body wellness. In this session and guided tasting, Registered Dietitian and co-founder of House Nine wellness & tea; Miho Hatanaka will walk attendees through the process of intentional tisane blending: from understanding the key herb categories (adaptogens, nervines, lymphatics) to crafting a cohesive blend for targeted healing properties.
Using six of House Nine's signature house-blended tisanes as teaching vehicles, Miho will show how therapeutic intent, flavor balance, and botanical synergy come together in a single cup.
