INFORMATION:
A flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, Yarrow (achillea millefolium) is characterized by its feathery, fern-like leaves and clusters of small tightly packed flowers. History enthusiasts might recognize the connection between the Latin name for Yarrow and the legendary Greek hero Achilles. According to mythology, Achilles used yarrow to treat wounds during the Trojan War. He was taught by the centaur Chiron how to use yarrow to staunch bleeding and heal wounds. This association between Achilles and yarrow likely led to the plant being named after the legendary hero. This historical connection adds a fascinating layer to the story of yarrow and contributes to its rich cultural and mythological significance. It also underscores the plant's longstanding reputation as a medicinal herb with a history deeply rooted in ancient traditions. Although the modern research on the benefits of yarrow is sparse, herbalists and holistic practitioners can be found recommending this herb to aid with digestion, reduce inflammation, boost the immune system, soothe indigestion and heartburn, ease menstrual cramps, and promote relaxation and calm.
Organic Yarrow has a distinctive flavor profile that harmoniously combines earthy and floral notes. This naturally caffeine-free herbal tea unfolds on the palate with bitter elemental top notes complemented by subtle sweetness and undertones of mild floral flavor. The complex character and astringent nature of the herb brews into a refreshing and balanced herbal tea. Brewed on its own or used in custom blends, Yarrow will captivate your senses and elevate your tea collection.
