INFORMATION:
Introducing a flower fit for the future Queen's runner up! As you may or may not know, Elderflowers featured prominently on the wedding cake of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, otherwise known as Harry and Meghan. In choosing the flower to grace their 2018 nuptials, the young royals made a deliberate attempt to capture springtime in Britain, albeit in cake form. How so?
Elderflowers, you see, the floral component of the Elderberry bush (Latin: Sambucus) are rather common in England. What's more, they have gained something of a reputation there as the prime ingredient in Elderflower cordial, a recipe that can be traced back to the Roman occupation of Britain. Now, these delicate flowers donât grow in the UK only. Rather, they can be found throughout the temperate and subtropical regions of the world. We've sourced these delicate, dried petals from a grower known for their adherence to excellent environmental standards and small batch processing. A stunning addition to your custom tea and herb blends, give your next cup the royal stamp of approval.
