HERBAL TEA IN BROOKLYN
NY - Brooklyn, New York
Sometimes you don't have to travel far to experience something new. In the Ditmas Park, Brooklyn, New York neighborhood near where I live, I passed a store that I had not seen before, named Sacred Vibes Apothecary. The exterior reminded me of the quaint stores I had always seen while growing up in London, England. The exterior is painted black, with contrasting gold lettering on the glass window. Through the window I could see stacks of shelves lining the walls with large glass jars filled with products in them.
I entered the store to inquire about what they were selling exactly. The owner, Karen Rose, explained the meaning of the word apothecary (apoth·e·cary person who prepares and sells drugs or compounds for medicinal purposes) which is in the name of the store. Karen explained that she sells a variety of teas and herbal products for the wellness of the body and spirit, a practice with a long history in various cultures. I was intrigued by the variety of teas that she sells. There were green, black, white and various herbal teas all different and used for a variety reasons. A few weeks later on a bleak cold day I decided to visit Sacred Vibes Apothecary for a demonstration on how to make a good cup of herbal tea.
