Latvia’s meadows and forests are home to more than 1,300 species of wild herbs. Rich in vitamins, essential oils and valuable minerals, these herbs have been treasured for generations for their beneficial properties and their ability to support everyday wellbeing.
Since 2018, the PLŪKT team has been sharing the story of Northern wild herbs with tea lovers in 23 countries through our premium tea collections. We believe that a cup of herbal tea can become a meaningful daily ritual for you too.
OUR MEETING PLACE
“Saulessēta” is a house with a story spanning more than a century. Once a community club and cultural centre, today it has been lovingly restored as the home of PLŪKT tea production. Over the years, it welcomed renowned filmmakers and celebrated Latvian writers. Today, the PLŪKT family has brought new life back to this remarkable place.
