01 -

This tea connects you to the seasons and the humble plants growing right outside your door
Its remarkably grounding and gentle on the stomach, perfect after heavy meals

02 -

Never harvest dandelions from areas that might have been treated with chemicals or pesticides
Using both petals and leaves creates a more complex flavor profile than either alone

03 -

The longer you steep, the more bitter and medicinal it becomes
Roasted dandelion root makes a wonderful coffee substitute if you want something darker and more robust
