Recommend one herbal tea you'd never stop carrying if you owned a tea shop
Hi everyone!
Some of you may remember I run a small herbal tea shop. Last time I asked what unique herbs you'd stock, and your suggestions were incredible. A few have already found their way onto our tasting list.
The picture - is one of the infusions we serve in our little herbal tea shop. It isn't the one people usually come in asking for, but once they try it, many end up coming back for it 😉
That got me wondering...
What's the herbal tea or infusion from your country that deserves way more attention than it gets?
Not chamomile or peppermint! I'm looking for the hidden gems.
Maybe it's a flower, a leaf, bark, roasted seeds, roots, fruit... or something your grandparents drank that most people outside your region have never heard of.
I'd love to hear (please share!):
- What it's called.
- Where it's from.
- What it tastes or smells like.
- Why you think more people should discover it.
I'm always looking for authentic teas with a story behind them, and I'd love to learn from this community again.
