Hemp tea is highly nutritious, ethical and delicious – indeed an exceedingly healthy cuppa. Leonard roasts and crushes his hemp seeds before blending them with a combination of rose petals, mint and lavender to create the most beautiful hemp seed tea.

I can vouch for the tea being delicious and the tea caddies are as pretty as a picture as you can see – a delicious refreshing tea and a lovely gift for any kitchen. Leonard’s website will avail you of its interesting past and health-giving properties. I make delicious infusions with it for recipes too: steeping fruit and adding to desserts for lovely botanical flavours.
Hemp plants have provided centuries of civilisations with food, fibres and medicinal needs. It grows so incredibly high it was used for rope-making in days gone by. It is quite the eco-plant and its flowers and seeds appear in a range of chocolates, salads and beverages these days.
Leonard is also a talented author so check out his children’s book “The Clever Red Setter” by Leonard Harper Gow, beautifully illustrated by local artist Camilla Seddon. Setters are known for their grace, swiftness and flowing locks, and Leonard’s own red setter is depicted in his book as living on a farm and communicating with all the animals. The adventure of this intelligent hound will warm the hearts and make for happy bedtime reading.
