Rare Orange Blossom Loose Leaf Herbal Tea

Ferran, the wonderful young farmer we work with to harvest our Rare Spanish Almond Blossom has now begun to gather orange blossom for us from his orchards.

This is really zero waste and sustainable farming at its best.

The orange trees are left to their own devices, without any intervention, free from pesticides, herbicides or fertiliser of any kind. In the spring and into the early summer the trees flower, filling the orchard with their delicious perfume.

The bees gather to do their work collecting pollen and fertilising the flowers. Any flowers that do not get fertilised fall from the boughs. The trees only hold onto the flowers that will bear fruit. So Ferran does not need to pick the flowers, he just waits for the surplus flowers to drop. He hangs fine nets beneath the branches of the trees to catch the descending blossom.

Nothing is wasted and all the pleasure possible is extracted.
