Linden (Lime Tree) Leaf & Flower Cut & Sifted

Linden (Lime Tree) Leaf & Flower Cut & Sifted (Tilia) combines both the leaves and flowers of the linden tree in a convenient cut-and-sifted form. This blend offers a fuller-bodied tea than flowers alone, with the leaves adding a mild, green depth to the honey-sweet floral character of the blossoms. It is one of the most popular herbal teas across Europe.

Flavor Profile

This cut-and-sifted blend produces a golden infusion with a sweet, honey-like flavor from the flowers balanced by the mild, slightly herbaceous notes of the leaves. The combination creates a more rounded, full-bodied cup compared to flowers alone. The aroma is floral and calming, with a warmth that invites relaxation.

Traditional Uses

Linden tea has been a household staple across France, Germany, Turkey, and Eastern Europe for centuries. In Turkey, linden tea (“ihlamur”) is one of the most popular hot beverages, especially during winter. French “tilleul” is served after dinner to aid digestion and promote sleep. Traditional uses include supporting relaxation, easing nervous tension, and promoting respiratory comfort.

How to Brew Linden Tea

Use one tablespoon per 8 ounces of hot water, just below boiling. Steep for 5 to 10 minutes, covered. The cut-and-sifted form brews faster than whole flowers, making it ideal for tea bags and quick infusions. Linden blends well with chamomile, lavender, and honey.
