Welcome to Forage and Bloom
A modern herbal business specialising in tea blending workshops, botanical products and premium plant extracts.
"With a background in hospitality, making coffee was my passion for many years. One day I asked myself, what can other plants do? Intrigued and excited, I studied herbal medicine, naturopathy and nutrition, which led me to creating a therapeutic range of organic herbal teas, with one goal in mind - to help you live well. Now, I'm sharing that knowledge through hands-on tea blending workshops, where you'll learn to create your own delicious bespoke herbal teas."
Meet the maker, Hannah.

The Foundations of Forage + Bloom.
Qualified Expertise
Forage and Bloom was founded by Hannah McMenamin, a qualified naturopath, herbalist, and nutritionist with over 17 years of experience in the natural health industry. Every workshop and botanical product is informed by formal training, industry experience, and a genuine passion for helping people connect with herbs in practical, enjoyable ways.
Quality & Sustainability
Quality and sustainability are at the heart of everything we do. Our herbs are carefully sourced from trusted local and international suppliers, with a focus on certified organic ingredients and responsible growing practices. We champion herbs that grow abundantly and are mindful of the impact our choices have on both people and the planet.
Our Philosophy
We believe that good health begins with the small rituals we create each day. Through beautiful botanical products and meaningful experiences, our purpose is to help people reconnect with the power of plants and make everyday wellness something to be enjoyed.
Kind Words
The reviews you'll find here are largely from the original Forage and Bloom tea range, which is no longer available. While the business has evolved, the same commitment to quality, flavour and herbal expertise continues through our workshops and botanical products today.

Let customers speak for us
from 61 reviewsGreat product and delivered quickly. Definitely would recommend using Forage & Bloom !! Thanks Hannah.
We discovered this blend while we were shopping at a special Aesop event, and loved it so much we tracked down the maker (Forage and Bloom) and promptly ordered our own stash. :) Now, we can't live without it. :)
Absolutely delicious tea. I had some in an Aesop store so asked them where I could buy it. I make it every morning and it’s a perfect pick me up!
I discovered Daily Blend at a cafe and had to hunt it down to have at home. Hannah kindly directed me to the right blend, it’s a delicious combination of cinnamon, pepper & tea beating any blends I’ve bought from the bigger brands x
Tried this tea in Aesop and I’m not even being dramatic when I say it was the best tea I’ve ever had in my life. It was a mix of sweet and pepperminty, both my fiancé and I loved it so much we just had to ask the Aesop employee where it’s from.
Best green tea I've ever had thank you. Enjoy first thing every morning
The perfect balance of ingredients Hannah. A cup of nurture is like a hug.
The best chamomile I have tasted. So fresh and warming
I can't say anything more than - it is my favourite tea. Easier to deal with from the jar instead of the paper zip bag.
It's subtle and delicious. I didn't think I would like it so much.
Salvation is my go to for a cold drink after a hot afternoon in the garden. A slice of lime and lots of ice.
This was the very first Forage and Bloom tea that I tried and it is really nice, yum in fact. I only bought a 30gm pkt which I finished quickly and I must buy some more as it is that nice. I will repurchase after I've finished trying the other teas that I bought.
I have a lot of Hannah's teas and I enjoy the variety of different tastes and functions. I am finding Nurture to be a very enjoyable morning cuppa. The rosehips taste so nice with the fennel. All round very pleasant tea.
This tea is very nice. It has a floral taste with a slight sweetness and is so calming and soothing. I'm a bit hooked on the Nourish tea from Hannah but I am finding that Repose makes a lovely refreshing change!
Hannah has sent all of my orders immediately and everything has arrived well packed. My emails were also answered almost straight away. I am very happy to have found this lovely little company.
