Above the Roasterie: The Minglement – Where Herbal Tradition Meets Island Soul

Nestled in the upper half of the historic Vashon Island Coffee Roasterie, The Minglement has quietly flourished as a beloved herbal apothecary and organic marketplace since 1972—long before herbs, and foraging became mainstream and new. Step inside and you’ll feel it instantly: the scent of dried botanicals in the air, the creak of old wood floors, and an extensive selection of ethically sourced and organic bulk medicinal and culinary herbs, aromatic spices, house-blended teas, and handcrafted tinctures.

What sets The Minglement apart isn’t just the selection—it’s the soul. They offer island-grown produce, heritage pantry staples, plant-based body care, and curated Earth-friendly gifts that speak to a way of living that’s deeply connected to place. This is herbalism rooted in community, not clicks.

Whether you’re deepening your knowledge or just beginning to explore the magic of plant medicine, The Minglement invites you to slow down, ask questions, and reconnect with ancient herbal traditions that nourish body and spirit.
