From Weed to Teacup: All About Dandelion Tea

Who would have known that what we consider a pesky weed makes such a lovely tea? Dandelion was in fact brought to the Americas by colonists, and in those times the wild edible plant was not viewed as a weed at all! Native to Europe, dandelion now grows throughout the Northern Hemisphere and has long been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and folk herbalism.

Dandelion Leaf

Dandelion Leaf has a fresh, slightly bitter, green taste. Bitter herbs like dandelion have traditionally been enjoyed before or after meals in many European cuisines.

Dandelion Root

Roasted Dandelion root has a rich, earthy flavor that some people enjoy as a caffeine-free alternative to coffee. Dandelion naturally contains minerals such as potassium and calcium.

Check with your healthcare provider before drinking dandelion if you have a medical condition, take medication, or are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you're allergic to ragweed or related plants (daisies, chrysanthemums, marigolds), you're likely to be allergic to dandelion.
