We've crafted a new, sleepy tea blend at Pendle Plant Craft and we're super excited to share it with you!
Available at the cabin now, starting at just £5 a jar, with two reusable teabags included in each jar.
Moon & Meadow
A little wildness, a little wonder, and a whole lot of heart.
Mugwort • Linden Flower • Rose Petals • Pineapplew**d
Some things simply belong together.
We've been playing with four rather wonderful plants, each with their own character, history and gifts to share. And somehow, when brought together, they've created something that feels like much more than the sum of its parts.
Moon & Meadow is a beautifully fragrant herbal infusion, bringing together the earthy, slightly mysterious character of mugwort, the gentle fruitiness of pineapplew**d, and the delicate floral notes of linden blossom and rose petals.
The mugwort and pineapplew**d are particularly lovely companions. Mugwort brings an earthy depth, while pineapplew**d lifts it with a soft, almost tropical fruitiness. Neither overwhelms the other. Instead, they seem to bring out something rather beautiful in one another.
The linden and rose complete the gathering, adding their own gentle sweetness and floral warmth.
The result?
Well, the best way I can describe it is that it tastes like a kind home, full of colour and love. (Especially with a little Dandelion Honey or Rosebud Syrup to sweeten, also available at the cabin)
And there's rather a lot more to these plants than their lovely flavours.
A little moonlight, a little folklore
Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) has accompanied people through centuries of herbal traditions, folklore and ritual. Associated with dreams, intuition and the mysteries of the night, it has long held a special place in the stories people tell about plants.
Traditionally, herbalists have also valued mugwort for its relationship with digestion and the menstrual cycle. Much of its reputation comes from generations of observation and use, while modern researchers continue investigating its complex botanical chemistry.
It's a plant that reminds us how much knowledge can be held within a landscape, and how much there is still to learn.
Linden blossom (Tilia species), sometimes known as lime flower, has a beautiful history of its own.
Across Europe, linden trees have long been associated with gathering places, community, hospitality and peace. Their wonderfully fragrant flowers have been prepared as herbal infusions for generations.
In traditional European herbal medicine, linden blossom has been prepared during times of mild stress and for symptoms associated with colds.
It's rather fitting that a tree so closely associated with community should find its way into a tea that tastes so welcoming.
A little love from the rose
Few plants carry quite so many stories as the rose.
Across cultures and centuries, roses have represented love, friendship, beauty and affection. Their petals have found their way into foods, fragrances, celebrations and herbal preparations.
But roses are more than beautiful. Researchers have also been exploring their aromatic compounds and the possible relationships between particular rose preparations, emotional wellbeing and sleep.
Here, the petals offer a gentle floral fragrance and a little softness, balancing the wilder, earthier notes of the blend.
The unexpected joy of pineapplew**d
And then there's pineapplew**d (Matricaria discoidea).
What a wonderful little plant!
Often overlooked, trodden underfoot or dismissed as a w**d, pineapplew**d is one of those plants that rewards anyone willing to stop, crouch down and pay attention.
Its cheerful, fruity fragrance is unmistakable once you've discovered it.
A relative of chamomile, pineapplew**d has its own history of traditional use. Modern researchers have identified a range of interesting compounds within the plant and are beginning to explore their possible biological activity.
But perhaps its greatest gift is the reminder that something extraordinary doesn't have to be rare, expensive or found somewhere exotic.
Sometimes, it's growing right beside the path.
Four plants, one lovely gathering
What I particularly love about this blend is that none of these plants needs to take centre stage.
Each brings something different.
Something earthy. Something fruity. Something floral. Something familiar.
Together, they create an infusion that's both comforting and full of character, with layers of fragrance and flavour that unfold as you drink.
Moon & Meadow.
An earthy embrace with a fruity, floral heart.
Lovingly blended by Pendle Plant Craft, celebrating the plants, people and places that make our world a little more wonderful.
