The same oat plant as oatmeal and no dairy involved! We hand-harvest oats at their “milky” stage, when the seedhead is plump with a milky sap inside. Harvesting oats at this stage captures the most potent part of the plant - that milky sap is like an herbal multi-vitamin! 

While you can steep milky oats in a tea blend for a standard 10-20 minute herbal infusion, they are actually best when steeped for an hour or longer - even overnight in the refrigerator! A long steep allows more minerals to infuse and also builds a deeper flavor. 

Our Witches Brew tea is a great herbal blend for a long steep: milky oats with nettle and spearmint lends a sweet, earthy and nourishing flavor packed with herbal goodness.

For a quick, easy to use concentrate, our Petals + Oats Elixir has a fresh milky oats extraction as its base. We hand harvest milky oats in June and extract them in our apothecary that same day, creating a creamy and nourishing tincture.

We love adding milky oats to other soothing herbs for the best bedtime cup of tea. Full Bloom Tea for a love letter in a teacup, and Moonbeam is soothing like an herbal hug. 

Stardust Tea is a Katydid favorite, combining milky oats with chamomile, lavender, lemon verbena and bachelor buttons. It's a tea for magical dreaming and catching fireflies at dusk!

If you like to blend your own herbal teas or want to add milky oats into your daily routine, bulk 1 lb bags are the way to go! We also offer single milky oat tops in jars (12 servings) and apothecary pouches (50 servings). 

Our milky oats are harvested on our farm and packed whole into tea blends - you can see the oat seeds in your teacup! We do not process the oats and there is no added wheat or gluten at any stage - however, we are not certified gluten-free.
