Decided to brew this tea from derk, thank you!
And as I am curious person by nature I turned on VPN for my university and looked to the databases.
“The decoction of dried fruits of Ternstroemia pringlei (Rose) Standl. (Theaceae), commonly known as “Flor de Tila”, is used in the Mexican traditional medicine to diminish insomnia and fear.” (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jep.2008.05.035, I have whole article available)
Enough of science, now to find out my own thoughts. I let it steep all time long, as there aren’t any steeping parameters. So, it could be around 25 minutes steep.
It brews lightly pink/red and thus certainly not similar to any Linden (Tilia sp.) tea! Tastes slightly berry like and quite pretty much nothing else. Quite drying aftertaste, I needed a gulp of fresh water afterwards.
Good to know it’s kosher, haha! I would rate after drinking the second bag.

I can’t remember if I have ever had linden tea. Harney sells it as Tilluel and I have long meant to order some since I see it recommended for sweating out a cold. I didn’t know there was a separate tisane made from the flowers! Very interesting.
I sent to sender of this tea a bag of Linden (Tilia cordata) flowers. I think she could share a bit with you :)
Yes! I would be happy to send some of Martin’s Czech linden to you, ashmanra.
Neat! Thank you, derk and Martin!
ashmanra: I hope it appears on your front porch soon and I hope you will like it! I have try my “saved” amount too; it’s so nice and fluffy!
