Listen to the last episode:

This week on Tea Talks with Jiling, we are joined by Keya Kai Guimarães. Keya is a community herbalist, lei-maker, and crafter of aromatic plant medicines, born beneath the fragrant Ponderosa pines of Colorado and shaped by the rain-kissed beauty of Kauaʻi. Honoring her Irish, Chinese, and Polynesian ancestry, Keya walks a path of listening to the land— approaching the botanical realm as both pilgrim and apprentice. For the past ten years, her herbal focus has been on women's health and hormonal transitions— from menarche to menopause— using plant-based remedies, seasonal wellness coaching, and lei-making as a living healing art.

Listen in as Keya and Jiling discuss:

Apprenticing with the plants
Hawaiian lei and hula traditions
How lei-making relates to herbal medicine
Botanomancy and how to play with Keya's newest project, the "Lāʻau: Hawaiian Flora" card game and book of monographs
