What is Milk Thistle Seed Tea?

Milk Thistle (Silybum Marianum) belongs to the Asteraceae family. Its botanical name is twofold: “Silybum” derives from the Greek words, “sillybon” or “silybos,” meaning “tassel” or “tuft.” The word “Marianum” is of Latin origin and relates to a biblical story.

Legend has it that the white spots on its leaves came from the milk of the Virgin Mary, who, while fleeing Egypt, tried nursing her child.

The plant itself can reach heights of up to 1.5 metres (approx. five feet). Meanwhile, its conspicuous, glossy green, white-veined, sinuate lobed leaves are thornily toothed at the edges.

Thriving in hedgebanks and on waste grounds, Milk Thistles originate from southern Europe and Asia. Several countries, including Greece, Italy and Germany, use them for treating liver, kidney and gallbladder issues.

Milk Thistle Tea vs Milk Thistle Seed Tea

The difference between our Milk Thistle Tea and Milk Thistle Seed Tea is relatively clear at first glance. One is the product of leaves, and the other consists of seeds. Both come weeks after the plant has flowered, at which point workers can start harvesting.

The seeds, in particular, have a unique flavour best described as sweet, smooth and earthy. You’re bound to love them.

Does Milk Thistle Seeds Tea Have Caffeine?

Neither Milk Thistle’s seeds nor its leaves contain caffeine - a stimulating chemical compound that provides an energy boost when consumed.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing? It depends on your perspective. Should you need extra help getting out of bed in the morning, you might be better off with a so-called “real” Tea or even fresh Coffee.

If you need to cut down, however, you’ve chosen well here.
