Although you may think of dandelions as common weeds, their leaves are actually a highly nutritious and tasty food, and easily enjoyed as a brewed tea.
Leaves, stems, flowers and roots are all edible, and all boast nutritional value. From a sautéed side dish, to an ingredient in salads, to wine, a caffeine-free coffee, and even part of a traditional British soft drink, dandelion obviously has not been overlooked throughout the history of civilization. As a medicinal plant, dandelion has been used for thousands of years, and history reports its use in treating a variety of mild to severe conditions.
This tea brews into a gorgeous yellow ochre, and offers a neutral scent. The pleasure of Buddha Teas Dandelion Leaf Tea begins with the eyes. If you’ve got a clear cup or pot in which to brew your tea, do it, because visually speaking, our Dandelion Leaf Tea is stunning. You’ll be glad to know that unlike some super beneficial teas that may be somewhat off-putting taste-wise, this one isn’t.
