The “Narrow-Leaf Purple Coneflower,” grows wild on the prairies of North America. With tall stems and purple-pink petals, it is the most valued of a dozen Echinacea species.
Native to the prairies, this herb was important to Indigenous cultures. Once transported to Europe, it quickly became naturalized and today often finds a place in gardens and kitchens alike.
As a tea, it brews clean and earthy with soft floral notes. Good-quality Echinacea will make your tongue tingle ~ a natural sign of freshness. The cup glows light amber, with gentle bitterness and a touch of grassy sweetness that lingers on the finish.
