Herbal Tea Blends
Our signature herbal tea blends combine traditional European recipes with modern wellness practices. Each blend uses herbs cultivated in our certified organic garden, offering unique flavor profiles and health benefits. Customers can choose from classic combinations like chamomile-lavender or create custom blends during our workshop sessions.
Handcrafted Soaps
We produce cold-process soaps using garden-grown herbs and natural oils. Our formulations avoid synthetic additives while providing skin-nourishing benefits. Popular varieties include calendula-infused bars and exfoliating oatmeal blends, all made in small batches to ensure quality control.
Botanical Workshops
Our educational workshops cover various herbal topics from soap making to green cleaning techniques. Led by founder Gudrun Feigl and guest experts, these hands-on sessions teach practical skills using organic materials. Participants take home finished products and valuable knowledge about sustainable living practices.
European-Style Caf
The caf serves locally sourced treats alongside our signature herbal teas. Menu items include gluten-free and vegan options from regional bakeries, complemented by Moka Origins coffee and house-made herbal infusions. Seasonal outdoor seating provides a relaxing environment for customers to enjoy their purchases.
Refill Station
Our sustainability initiative offers refillable cleaning products that reduce plastic waste. Customers bring their own containers to fill with non-toxic solutions like all-purpose cleaners and dish soaps. The program supports environmentally conscious living while maintaining effective household cleaning standards.
