Who We Are
Kentucky Kitchen Witch is a woman-owned, small-batch herbal tea brand based in Union, Kentucky, proudly serving the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area for over three years.
We create approachable herbal teas and sweet treats designed to support everyday wellness, especially for women who are tired of living life at full speed — and ready for something gentler.
At Kentucky Kitchen Witch, we believe caring for yourself doesn’t have to be complicated, extreme, or intimidating.
Our teas are crafted in small batches with intention, using herbs that have been trusted for hundreds — sometimes thousands — of years. Each blend is designed to support common, everyday concerns like:
Stress relief & emotional balance
Calm during chaotic seasons of life
Digestion & relaxation
Heart and brain health
We focus only on products that are genuinely useful in daily life — not overly niche remedies that collect dust on a shelf. That means everything you see is meant to be relatable, practical, and easy to use.
Our Founder & Approach
Desi Gilliland, Founder (drinking tea, of course!)
Kentucky Kitchen Witch is led by a trained herbalist with over 10 years of experience in plant work, marketing, and creative communication. This background allows us to bridge the gap between deep herbal knowledge and clear, approachable education.
Our founder has studied herbalism under Rosemary Gladstar, renowned herbalist and co-founder of United Plant Savers — grounding every recipe in time-honored tradition while honoring modern science and lifestyles.
“Witch” is in the name — but this isn’t a dark, brooding brand.
Think Glinda the Good Witch… if she made tea.
We take health and wellness seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. Life is short. We’re here to uplift, inspire, and make you giggle with our shenanigans.
Not That Kind of Witch

What We’re All About
Step 1: Notice how you’re feeling
Tired? Wired? Foggy? Run down?
Step 2: Choose a tea blend for that moment
Each product is blended with intention and purpose.
Step 3: Create a small ritual
Five minutes. A mug. A pause.
Step 4: Let your body do the rest
How It Works
At Kentucky Kitchen Witch, we believe wellness doesn’t have to be earned through exhaustion. You’re allowed to feel supported — and it can start with something as simple as tea.
Welcome in. 💛
