Description
The Elder is a legendary tree, often described as magical and sacred in folklore and myth. It has long been associated with rural life, where it’s respected as a generous and familiar tree along field edges and lanes.
The Elder tree produces creamy-white blossoms in late spring that mature into clusters of juicy, purplish black berries by early autumn.
Today, Elderberries are used in juices, pies, desserts, and are especially enjoyed as a full-bodied, fruity tea. We love adding an Elderberry teabag to a pot of Earl Grey or Assam tea for a delicious and comforting pot.
