Graceful and fragrant, Linden trees grow heart shaped leaves with pale blossoms that appear in early summer. Each bloom hangs beside a light leaf-like bract that helps carry the seeds on the wind. Often known for their nickname bee trees, the canopy hums with the visiting bees as they are drawn to the nectar rich blooms.
Linden trees are often planted along streets and near homes in Europe and North America where they are valued for their shade and ever shifting presence through the warm months. The leaves and flowers are gathered in season to make a simple tea.
In the teacup, Linden offers a light golden hue and a beautiful floral aroma. The taste is smooth, floral and lightly sweet ~ let it draw you into many hours of relaxation.
