Episode 29: On Creature Comforts and Savoring Sweet Escapism with Ashley of Old Growth Alchemy

Welcome to The Violet Vulture!

Today we've got a super special guest on the podcast, fellow multi-passionate, storytelling purveyor of fine teas, botanical bitters, and wild curiosities: Ashley of Old Growth Alchemy (they/them)!

In this episode, we'll get into the following and then some:

  • Being a jack-of-all trades (and fully owning it)

  • What kicked off their interest in making tea and bitters and other curious ephemera

  • The tea on OGA Tea Guild and the importance of co-creating with community

  • How their approach to their work is informed by their environment (aside from sourcing local ingredients), magic, and stories

  • Which pieces of lore and fantasy fandoms feel the most like home to them

  • The importance of supporting magical boundary work in our current era

If you're keen to learn more about the value of curating cozy moments and thoughtfully retreating from the day-to-day, this one is for you.
