What is Fennel Tea?
Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is an aromatic perennial plant belonging to the Carrot family, characterised by feathery leaves and yellow flowers. It thrives in the Mediterranean climate, requiring full sun and well-drained soil, though it now grows globally due to its popularity.
Our Loose Leaf Fennel Tea is crafted from the leaves and stems of the plant, harvested during late summer or early autumn when the foliage is rich in essential oils. After harvesting, the leaves and stems are delicately dried to preserve their flavour, ensuring no loss of the potent aniseed character.
This careful preparation results in a premium infusion, ready for brewing and offering a unique, caffeine-free delight with a remarkable, liquorice-like taste.
