Calendula Flower Tea is made from dried calendula (pot marigold) petals, Calendula officinalis. Steeped, it gives a golden cup with a mild, lightly floral taste and a slightly bitter edge. Serve it hot on a cold evening, or chilled over ice in summer.
This is a simple, single-ingredient herbal tea with no caffeine, so it makes an easy warm drink for the evening. The petals are sun-dried and keep their golden colour. It is a tea to enjoy, and we do not claim that it treats any health condition.
