Description
Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is a native European plant that has been valued since ancient times for its delicate, aromatic blossoms. The plant grows in meadows, roadsides and light forest edges and is easily recognisable by its deeply cut leaves and umbel-shaped inflorescence.
When the blossoms are dried and steeped in hot water, they produce a light, mildly bitter infusion with a subtle floral note. Yarrow blossom is traditionally drunk in various European herbal traditions and is known as a versatile herb that was often used in balancing and relaxing blends.
In folk culture, yarrow was seen as a plant of protection, clarity and balance, and was a common ingredient in homemade herbal infusions.
Yarrow blossom offers a refined infusion for lovers of mild, aromatic herbal teas.
