Our story

Hi, I’m Erki

I want to introduce you to my mother Ly – the heart and soul of Ly’s Garden. 

The story of Ly’s Garden began many years ago, when Ly was picking herbs and berries in her backyard and enjoying a nice summer afternoon. When Ly brought the herbs and berries home, her mother added hot water to it and said: “Ly, if you drink this, a good night’s sleep is guaranteed”. The first sip that Ly took, reminded her of the day she just spent – the beautiful endless summer day, the taste of fresh blackcurrants and the cool breeze running through her hair. After she finished the tea, Ly quickly fell asleep. In the morning, when Ly woke up, she felt relaxed and confident as she had also found her true passion. From that day forward Ly started experimenting with herbs and berries to find the perfect tea mixtures. Ly soon realized that the herbs in her home garden tasted much better than the herbs in the store. As she makes no compromises in taste, she knew that the only way is to grow the herbs specially for tea. This was the day Ly’s Garden was born. 

Today, Ly is still growing the herbs in our family fields. She is working every day to ensure that the tea mixtures have the same quality that she fell in love with many years ago. Growing herbs, creating tea mixtures and packaging is still all exclusively handled in our family farm in Põlva county, Estonia, which is overseen by Ly. We don’t add any additional flavorings nor sugar. All tastes and aromas come from natural berries and herbs as Ly intended. We’ll hope that you’ll like our tea. 

Thank you for reading.

Erki and Ly
