Herbes Européennes

European herbal traditions draw on the wild and cultivated plants of the continent, from Mediterranean hillsides to northern meadows and forests. This collection brings together herbs and flowers with a long place in European kitchens and folk tea customs, presented for their aroma, flavour and heritage rather than any single use.

The range includes familiar plants such as chamomile, nettle, elderflower, lime blossom (linden), lemon balm and yarrow. Their flavours span the gentle and floral to the green and grassy, with elderflower and linden lending sweet, honeyed notes and nettle a deep, vegetal character. Many have been gathered and dried across Europe for generations and appear in regional infusions and cooking.

These botanicals are supplied dried, as loose leaf, flower or cut herb, and are naturally caffeine-free. Brew them as a single infusion or blend several together. Add freshly boiled water and steep for five to ten minutes, adjusting the amount of herb and the time to reach the strength and flavour you like best.
