For those who love soft, floral flavors, the linden-based blend offers the perfect aromatic profile. It envelops you with the sweet and delicate scents of linden, chamomile, and lemon balm, enhanced by the velvety notes of poppy and hawthorn. On the palate, the smooth flavor of this combination is shaken by more intense herbaceous nuances of woodruff and hops, balsamic and bitter notes, and the citrus freshness of verbena and orange.
The result is a perfectly balanced infusion, perfect for a moment of soothing, light, and pleasant relaxation. This blend of herbaceous plants has been created with a selection of ingredients traditionally known for a relaxing break, especially appreciated before bed.
