The Archive
The Hilltop Botanicals Archive preserves small seasonal collections inspired by specific moments in the landscape.
Each archive edition combines loose-leaf tea, infused honey, and botanical studies that reflect the plants and atmosphere of a particular season.
These editions are produced in very small numbers and released only once.
Together they form a quiet record of the seasons on the Hilltop.
Archive Editions
Archive Editions bring together several elements of the Hilltop Botanicals studio.
Each release typically includes:
• a seasonal loose-leaf tea
• a botanical infused honey
• a signed botanical study
Together these objects capture the character of a particular moment in the growing season.
Because these collections depend on seasonal plants and small-batch preparation, they are produced in extremely limited quantities.

Wild Meadow
Wild Meadow captures the quiet return of the growing season.
This edition brings together a spring botanical tea, a floral infused honey, and a botanical study drawn from the Hilltop landscape.
Soft meadow herbs and early blossoms define the character of this collection.
Each edition is produced in small numbers and will not be reproduced once the season passes.
Wild Meadow is a bright spring herbal infusion layered with fresh greens and soft floral botanicals. The blend is light, aromatic, and gently grounding with a clean meadow-like finish.
Inspired by early spring fields just beginning to wake after winter, this tea reflects the scent of young leaves, wild herbs, and blossoms emerging across open landscapes. Lemon balm and dandelion leaf create the green herbal body while chamomile and elderflower bring a soft floral lift.
As the Spring Seasonal tea, Wild Meadow marks the return of the growing season — a fresh, vibrant infusion that celebrates the first signs of life returning to the landscape.
10% of all tea sales support the Owensboro Regional Farmers Market.
The Seasonal Archive
Each year, Hilltop Botanicals creates a small number of seasonal archive editions. Over time these editions form an archive of the changing seasons on the Hilltop.
Summer reflects meadow flowers and garden botanicals.
Spring focuses on blossoms and tender herbs.
Winter becomes quieter, using dried herbs and stored honey to create deeper infusions.
Autumn draws from harvest plants and orchard notes.
A Botanical Record
Botanical studies included in the archive document small moments in the landscape.
A tendril curling.
A blossom opening.
An insect resting on a petal.
These images serve as a quiet visual record of the plants that shape the Hilltop Botanicals collections.
Together with tea and honey, they preserve the atmosphere of each season.
