Loose leaf knotgrass, the dried aerial parts of Polygonum aviculare, a low growing plant also called prostrate knotweed or common knotgrass. Each pack is cut and sifted botanical ready to steep as a single ingredient tea or to fold into your own herbal blends. A plain pantry staple for anyone who enjoys simple caffeine free infusions.
Mild and easy to drink, with a gentle grassy aroma and a soft earthy flavor. Brewed knotgrass tea pours a light amber to pale green cup that stays subtle rather than bitter. The understated taste takes well to a little honey or a squeeze of lemon, and it layers nicely under mint, nettle, or lemongrass in a homemade tisane.
Simple to prepare hot or cold. For a warm cup, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of the dried herb, pour over boiling water, cover, and steep 10 to 15 minutes, then strain. For a cold infusion, combine 1 to 2 teaspoons with cold water and chill 6 to 8 hours. This knotgrass herbal tea is naturally caffeine free, so a mug fits any time of day.
Knotgrass has a long history in folk tradition and has been traditionally enjoyed as a foraged garden tea across Europe and Asia. Beyond the teapot the dried loose herb works as a base for custom blends and craft projects. A flexible botanical to keep on the shelf if you like sourcing single herbs and building your own tea recipes.
Packed as dried loose herb with nothing added, no flavoring and no fillers, just the cut plant. Reseal the pouch and store it somewhere cool, dry, and out of direct light to keep the leaf fresh between brews. A pure single herb chosen for home tea drinkers, foragers, and hobby blenders who prefer plain botanicals one at a time.
