INFORMATION:
Organic Heather (calluna vulgaris) is a low-growing evergreen shrub prevalent across Europe and Asia. Heather has a rich and versatile history with diverse applications, from firewood, thatching, and bedding to basket weaving, broom making, and even as a dye for wool and a tanning agent for leather. It is also linked to rituals and traditions. Much like the Irish Celtic four-leaf clover, Heather is considered lucky in parts of Scotland, leading to the sprigs being used to make charms, jewelry, or added into bridal bouquets. Beyond its cultural significance, Heather has been added to skin-care products and baths for its purported calming effects. The plant has also been infused in meads, beer, syrups, and herbal teas, and most famous of all Heather Honey. With a longstanding history in folk medicine, Heather has been used to ease digestion, act as a mild anti-inflammatory, soothe respiratory symptoms, and reduce stress. Heather contains antioxidants that can help combat oxidative stress in the body and promote overall wellness. Its name Calluna, derived from the Greek kallyno, meaning 'to cleanse', 'beautify', or 'to sweep', underscores its association with cleansing and detoxifying.
We've sourced this Organic Heather to craft into delightful herbal teas. The blossoms impress with gentle floral fragrance and the stems release pine-like freshness. This naturally, caffeine-free tea offers a gentle flavor profile that seamlessly blends into custom tea creations. Release the potential of this delicate plant, letting it elevate your tea journey and enchant every cup.
