Why Buy Loose Herbs from House of Serenity?

Loose herbs give you full control over how strong you brew, cook, or blend, and they keep more of their natural aroma and color than pre-bagged herbs. House of Serenity packs every order in small batches in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, so your herbs arrive fresh and ready to use. Whether you are building your first home apothecary or restocking a favorite, you can mix our organic herbs into custom tea blends, kitchen recipes, bath soaks, and DIY skin care.

How to Store Your Herbs

Store dried herbs in an airtight glass jar or resealable bag in a cool, dark, and dry cupboard, away from heat and sunlight. Stored this way, most dried herbs keep their best flavor and aroma for about one year, and powders for about six months. Always use a clean, dry spoon to keep moisture out.
