Orange Flowers are gently dried blossoms from
Citrus aurantium
, prized for their soft citrus-floral aroma and delicate flavour. They are traditionally used in calming herbal teas,
relaxed evening routines and light digestive comfort blends after meals. The flowers steep into a gentle, fragrant cup
and pair beautifully with chamomile, lemon balm, rooibos and other mellow botanicals. They can also be used in
fragrant sachets, potpourri and simple syrups for mocktails or desserts.
♡ Why we love it: Orange flowers are quietly elegant and beautifully aromatic. They bring a soft citrus lift to teas
and blends without overpowering the palate, making them lovely for cosy wind-down rituals.
