  1. Hawthorn Leaf and Flower Tea

    Hawthorn Leaf & Flower

    Designation: Absolutely Organic
    Item Order #: T150

    Hawthorn is found mainly in Europe, eastern Asia, and eastern North America. Its use has been growing since the 1800's. In Britain, Hawthorn was an important part of many May festivals and was known as 'May flower'. In France, Hawthorn goes by the name "l'epine noble" (a noble thorn) from the belief that the crown of thorns worn by Christ was made of its branches.

    Hawthorn boasts dark-green lobed, toothed leaves and in late spring it yields clusters of lovely, sweet scented white flowers. The interaction of leaf and flower make for a taste that is sweet, yet slightly bitter.

    Designation: Absolutely Organic
    Item Order #: T5106

    Blackberry has been in use throughout the world for ages. The ancient Greeks and Romans used the leaves and roots for their medicinal properties both internally and topically and prized the fruit as a delicacy. In the New World, the same was true of our indigenous peoples.

    Blackberry leaf tea doesn't taste like blackberries at all, it tastes more like black tea thanks to the special fermentation process. The tea is flavourful, high in tannins, and contains no caffeine, which explains why it's often used as a tea substitute

  8. Parsley Leaf

    Parsley Leaf

    Designation: Absolutely Organic
    Item Order #: T168

    Indigenous to eastern Europe, Parsley has a long history of use in Turkey and Lebanon. Later, the English would spread it around the world after learning its many uses. Associated with spiritual protection, war, and St. Peter, the Greeks originally used Parsley as a garnish to guard a meal from evil. The tradition of garnishing with Parsley continues today, but the purpose is different; it has a fresh clean flavour and many medicinal benefits that chefs appreciate.

    Brewing a nice green cup, with aromas of a summer garden, Parsley tea is an ancient and revered beverage that is being rediscovered today.

  12. Spearmint Leaf

    Spearmint Leaf

    Designation: Absolutely Organic
    Item Order #: T185

    The use of mint is documented in the Bible and in herbal manuals of ancient apothecaries.

    Spearmint is appreciated chiefly for its high oil content and “double mint” flavour. We owe a debt of gratitude to our forbearers for giving us this wonderful and luscious plant.
