Over twenty years ago, Jane Desotelle was collecting herbs for teas in the Adirondacks and giving away her herb tea blends to friends, then friends of friends, until local stores asked her for them. Her family taught her an appreciation of the country life, especially her grandmother, whose maiden name was Jane Underwood. Thus began Underwood Herbs, whose products include herbal teas (caffeine-free), handpainted teapots, essential and fragrant oils, sachets, balsam wreaths, and natural catnip. All Underwood Herbs caffeine-free, herbal teas are made with flowers and herbs that can be found growing in the Adirondack region of New York State. The balsam for her wreaths and other balsam products, as well as most of the herbs for her teas, oils, and sachets, are harvested off her 100 acre homestead in the Northern Adirondacks. Jane Desotelle founded Underwood Herbs when she saw an opportunity to earn a living while enjoying a simple lifestyle without electricity, using a woodstove for cooking and hand-pumped water.
