Description
Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus) is a classic field flower that has traditionally grown among grain fields in Europe. The plant is particularly valued for its intense blue colour, which remains remarkably well preserved even after drying. Thanks to its natural colouring power, cornflower has been used for centuries to make mixtures, herbal infusions and tea blends more visually appealing.
The taste of cornflower is mild and virtually neutral, so the flower does not affect the character of the infusion. This makes it a popular ingredient in blends where appearance is particularly important — from floral teas to festive herbal compositions.
