Elderflower

elderflower / safflower / white mulberry / orange

An experimental tea blend that came together purposefully and gracefully. This bitter sweet floral blend's main elements are calming, soothing and enriching.

The orange's bitterness is balanced with the sweet mulberry yet the fragrant elderflower dominates mostly but is still subtle in it's flavour.
