サフラワー

Brewed a cup after dinner and the subtle floral taste was pleasantly mild, not bitter at all. The dried petals expanded beautifully in the hot water, releasing a gentle golden hue. I’ve already bought a second bag.

The vibrant orange petals are so pretty I almost didn't want to brew them, but the tea itself has a mild, earthy taste that's perfect for winding down after dinner. I've been steeping a small pinch every night for a week now and it's become a calming little ritual.

The petals arrived in a sealed pouch with almost no dust at the bottom, which tells me they weren't crushed in shipping. I steeped a pinch for five minutes and the liquor turned a deep, honeyed orange—exactly what I wanted for an afternoon wind-down.
