Orange Blossom (Flower)

Orange Blossom (Flower) C/S comes from the fragrant flowers of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium), one of the most prized aromatic plants in the world. These delicate white flowers produce the intoxicating scent used in neroli essential oil and orange flower water. Our dried orange blossom petals capture this exquisite fragrance in a form ready for brewing, blending, and crafting.

Flavor and Aroma

Orange blossom has a sweet, intensely floral aroma with honeyed citrus undertones. The flavor is delicate and perfumed, reminiscent of orange flower water used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern pastries. When brewed as tea, it produces a light, fragrant infusion that is naturally calming and aromatic. The scent alone makes it a premium addition to any tea blend.

Traditional Uses

Orange blossom has been used for centuries across the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and North Africa. In Moroccan tradition, orange flower water is a staple in desserts, pastries, and beverages. French perfumers have prized neroli oil (distilled from orange blossom) since the 17th century. Herbalists traditionally associate orange blossom tea with promoting relaxation, easing nervous tension, and supporting restful sleep.

How to Use Orange Blossom

These fragrant petals work in many applications:

• Brew as a calming herbal tea — steep one tablespoon in 8 ounces of hot water for 5 to 7 minutes
• Add to floral tea blends with jasmine, lavender, rose, and chamomile
• Infuse into syrups, honey, and cocktails for a sophisticated floral note
• Use in potpourri, sachets, bath teas, and natural perfume blends
• Incorporate into Middle Eastern and Mediterranean baking recipes
