Iceland Moss Cut is a gently dried lichen from Cetraria islandica , traditionally used in European herbalism for its soothing, demulcent character. It has a mild, earthy taste with a subtle bitter edge and gives infusions a soft, slightly silky mouthfeel. Iceland moss is commonly used in calm, easy-sipping teas and decoctions for throat, chest and digestive comfort. The cut format infuses reliably and blends well with liquorice, thyme, chamomile and other gentle companion herbs.
♡ Why we love it: Iceland moss brings body and softness to herbal infusions without overpowering the blend. It is mellow, comforting and useful when a smooth, soothing brew is wanted.
