Elderflowers Loose Tea - Certified Organic

Hand-Selected by Qualified Herbal Naturopath | 100% Certified Organic | Fast Australia-Wide Shipping

Gathered in early summer from the creamy-white umbrella clusters of the European elder tree, Elderflowers (Sambucus nigra) have been celebrated in European folk traditions for centuries as the delicate "summer medicine." Long revered by herbalists for their gentle yet profound affinity for the respiratory system and skin, Elderflowers hold a proud place alongside Elderberry in traditional remedies. Rich in flavonoids (such as rutin and isoquercitrin), phenolic acids, and light volatile essential oils, Elderflowers are prized in Western herbalism as a classic relaxing diaphoretic—celebrated for opening peripheral pores, releasing trapped internal heat, and soothing irritated mucous membranes.

TASTE & ENERGETICS

• Taste: Sweet, floral, delicate, slightly bitter, honey-like aroma
• Energetics: Cooling, drying, relaxing, diaphoretic

TRADITIONALLY USED FOR:

Seasonal Chills & Feverish Heat: Acting as a premier relaxing diaphoretic when drunk hot to encourage natural sweating and gently cool internal feverish heat.

• Sinus & Upper Respiratory Clearance: Clearing excess fluid, soothing nasal mucous membranes, and easing catarrh, sinus congestion, and hayfever discomfort.
• Restful Sleep & Nervous Relaxation: Soothing overstimulated nervous systems, easing mild nervous tension, and promoting restful sleep during illness.
• Skin Clarity & Radiant Complexion: Soothing external skin irritation and supporting clear, balanced skin when used as a steam or facial wash.

BREWING & PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

• Hot Infusion (For Chills & Sweating): Add 1–2 teaspoons of dried Elderflowers to 1 cup of freshly boiled water. Cover tightly with a saucer (essential to capture delicate floral volatile oils) and steep for 8–10 minutes. Drink hot up to 3 times daily.
• Cooling Summer Elixir: Brew a larger batch, allow to cool, and pour over ice with fresh lemon and a touch of raw honey for a hydrating, floral summer tonic.
