Kirstin Sherritt owns The Secret Garden in San Luis Obispo, a shop that specializes in tea, herbs and spices. I’ve known Kirstin for a while, just through the grapevine of life in SLO, and I’ve watched her grow what was a tiny little back-patio business into a thriving community. The shop overlooks San Luis Creek, with jars of all kinds of raw botanicals: bark, leaves, petals, buds, rinds and spices. With decades of expertise in how to use these ingredients, she creates bespoke blends for people who come in, or they can buy pre-blended concoctions she’s developed over the years for things like improved cognition, detoxification, and relaxation. I love that little shop, but there’s so much more to Kirstin and her business. Here we talk about plants and tea, sure, but you definitely don’t want to miss Kirstin debunking myths about the difference between tea and coffee drinkers.
