ELDERFLOWER GREEN TEA

Elderflower Green Tea is a captivating blend that combines the gentle sweetness of elderflower with the fresh, grassy notes of premium green tea. This harmonious infusion delights the senses while offering a soothing, refreshing experience, perfect for mindful moments or relaxed conversations.

The green tea in this blend comes from carefully cultivated regions of East Asia, where spring-harvested leaves are hand-picked at their peak for flavour and nutrients. They are then steamed and rolled to preserve their vibrant character.

Elderflower, native to Europe and North America, has a long history of medicinal and culinary use, from traditional remedies to cordials and desserts. The blossoms are delicately dried before being blended with the green tea, creating a unique floral aroma and taste.

This exquisite tea not only pleases the palate but also reflects centuries of tradition and cross-cultural heritage, offering a harmonious balance of flavour, wellness, and history in every cup.

Elderflower is a powerhouse of beneficial uses, with antiseptic, antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Herbalists have used elderflower for centuries to help aid symptoms of colds, flu, sinus infections, and upper respiratory infections. It is thought to be helpful for cooling down a fever, increasing circulation, and boosting the immune system with vitamin C and antioxidants.

It also has slight diuretic and laxative properties that can be useful in the right situation. Topically, elderflower is thought to help with aching joints due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
