Flowers From My Meadow Red Clover Blossoms are the dried flowering tops of Trifolium pratense, a familiar meadow botanical recognised by its rounded pink to purple flower heads. Mild, gently herbaceous and naturally caffeine-free, the blossoms make an easy everyday herbal infusion and blend beautifully with fruit, citrus, warming spices and other tea botanicals. Red Clover has a long history in traditional herbal practice and naturally contains plant compounds known as isoflavones, which form part of the plant's characteristic botanical chemistry. Beyond the teacup, their soft meadow colours and delicate, rustic character make these blossoms a lovely addition to pot-pourri, dried-flower arrangements and decorative botanical blends.
♡ Why we love it: There is something especially lovely about brewing with whole blossoms. Red Clover is quietly special, with soft meadow colours, a gentle aroma and an uncomplicated flavour that makes it easy to enjoy on its own or use as a base for more creative botanical blends.

Faqs
Q: Is Red Clover the same as the clover commonly seen in lawns and meadows?
A: Red Clover is a true clover from the Trifolium genus. Trifolium pratense is recognised by its characteristic three-part leaves and rounded pink-purple flower heads.
Q: What makes the blossom form different from cut Red Clover herb?
A: This product focuses on the dried flowering tops rather than a broader cut-herb preparation, giving it a more distinct whole-flower character in the cup and in loose botanical blends.
Q: Can I use Red Clover Blossoms in cold drinks?
A: Yes. Prepare and strain the infusion first, allow it to cool, then serve over ice or combine it with fruit, citrus or other suitable botanicals.
Q: Can I combine Red Clover with other herbs?
A: Yes. Its mild flavour makes it especially easy to blend with more colourful, fruity, citrusy or warming botanicals according to personal taste.
