Secrets Of The Garden

Secrets Of The Garden is a loose-leaf tea and herb company known for hand-blended herbal teas, caffeinated tea blends and custom tea recipes. Its blends use roots, flowers, leaves, barks, berries and seeds, and are sold under names like Rooty Soother, Green Zing and Energy Plus. The company was founded by Kirstin Sherritt, a folk herbalist with about 20 years of experience creating custom recipes for individuals, restaurants and beverage companies.

The shop sells bulk teas and herbs and offers customized blends, private label tea programs, custom tea menus with training, and favors for weddings and special events. It also holds classes, workshops and tastings. The business moved in October 2024 to an indoor space on the fringes of downtown San Luis Obispo, at 2050 Parker Street, after nearly two decades in a wooden lean-to by the creek.
