A Moment of Calm at Palmse Manor

Breathe in the fragrance of fresh, locally grown herbs and discover the art of taking tea at Palmse Manor. This gentle ritual invites you to slow down, savour each sip and reconnect with nature. As you explore the aromas and flavours in your cup, discover how a simple drink became part of everyday life in a historic manor.

Following the Manor Lady’s Tradition

The Baltic German lady of the manor once tended her own medicinal herb garden, growing plants valued for their fragrance, flavour and traditional healing properties. From everyday refreshments to comforting herbal remedies, these plants held an important place in the household.

Today, we continue her tradition with fresh local medicinal herbs, bringing the garden’s scents and flavours to the tea table. Along the way, you will hear stories about the plants and discover the knowledge passed down through generations.

Taste, Discover and Find Your Favourite

Estonia has a rich tradition of gathering and growing herbs. While some plants were brewed for everyday enjoyment, others were traditionally chosen for particular ailments or during the colder months.

During the programme, you will taste a selection of herbal teas and compare their distinctive aromas and flavours. Perhaps one will remind you of a childhood summer, while another will become a new favourite. Let your senses guide you as you explore the ingredients behind each cup.

Afterwards, each participant receives a packet of herbal tea blend to take home. In this way, your visit continues with a fragrant reminder of Palmse whenever you put the kettle on.
