Echinacea Purpurea
Echinacea purpurea — purple coneflower — brews a pale, straw-coloured cup that tastes of meadow hay: grassy, faintly sweet, a little green. What sets it apart is the finish. Good echinacea leaves a light tingling, slightly numbing sensation on the tongue and that tingle is the plant's signature. On its own it's an honest rather than a pretty cup and most people prefer it blended. Lemongrass and peppermint are the classic partners — both round off the hay note and carry the tingle without masking it. It also works with elderflower, lemon balm and rosehip and takes well to honey. The plant is a North American native, a prairie coneflower long grown across Europe for the herb trade. Ours is cut and sifted from the aerial parts. When winter season rolls around, it's wonderful to have echinacea tea on hand. The soothing beverage of echinacea tea can help warm you up, ease a sore throat or improve mood. Certified organic and caffeine free.
