Dried echinacea flower, also known as purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), harvested from the daisy like blossoms and aerial parts of the plant. This loose herbal tea is traditionally enjoyed as a simple caffeine free infusion, with no additives, fillers, or artificial flavoring. A pure single ingredient botanical for anyone who prefers whole loose flowers over pre filled tea bags.
Echinacea flower tea brews into a clear amber cup with a mild, gently floral and grassy character and a soft, sweet, straw like finish. The taste is earthy and delicate rather than bitter, so it is easy to sip on its own or to sweeten lightly with a little honey. A calm, caffeine free herbal tea for mornings, afternoons, or a quiet evening cup.
Simple to prepare. Add about one tablespoon of loose echinacea flowers to an eight ounce cup, pour over freshly boiled water, cover, and steep for 10 to 15 minutes. A longer steep draws out a deeper floral flavor and a richer golden color. Strain and serve hot, or chill over ice for a refreshing caffeine free herbal iced tea in warm weather.
Blends easily with other botanicals. Echinacea purpurea flower pairs naturally with peppermint, lemon balm, ginger, rosehip, or a slice of fresh lemon, and works well as a base for your own custom loose leaf herbal tea blends. The whole dried flowers can also be used in potpourri and homemade herbal craft projects.
Packed as whole loose dried flowers so you can see the natural coneflower petals and spiky cone centers. Reseal the pouch after each use and store the dried echinacea flower in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct light. Kept sealed and dry, the loose herbal tea holds its color and gentle aroma for many months.
