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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e♡ 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBotanical Name: \u003cem\u003eTrifolium pratense\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommon Name: Red Clover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlant Family: Fabaceae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Used: Flowering tops \/ blossoms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm: Dried blossoms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppearance: Rounded dried flower heads with naturally pink to purple tones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAroma \u0026amp; Flavour: Mild, gently herbaceous and subtly sweet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNaturally Occurring Compounds: Isoflavones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNaturally Caffeine-Free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle Botanical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable For: Herbal infusions, botanical tea blends and traditional herbal preparations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage: Store sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat It's Used For\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreparing a mild, naturally caffeine-free Red Clover herbal infusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreating loose botanical tea blends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePairing with hibiscus, citrus, fruit and warming spices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreparing chilled or iced herbal infusions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdding a gentle meadow-herb character to personalised tea rituals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsing as a traditional dried botanical in the home herbal pantry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis Product Is For:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHerbal tea drinkers looking for a mild whole-flower infusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHome tea blenders who enjoy working with single botanicals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone exploring traditional meadow botanicals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeople who prefer naturally caffeine-free herbal infusions\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBringing natural colour and texture to pot-pourri and dried-flower blends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis Product Is Not For:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone looking for conventional black, green or other caffeinated tea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone looking for Red Clover powder, cut herb or sprouting seed\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow To Use\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs a Tea: Add approximately 1-2 teaspoons of dried Red Clover Blossoms per cup.
