Flowers

Flower tisanes are the most globally common herbal infusions and also the most diverse in flavor profile. Chamomile is soft, apple-adjacent, and mildly sedating. Hibiscus is tart, deeply colored, and bracing. Chrysanthemum is delicate and cooling, a Chinese medicine staple drunk plain or alongside puerh. Lavender is intensely perfumed and divisive. Elderflower and linden are lighter and more nuanced. The only thing these share is a flower origin; brewing temperature and steep time matter differently for each.

Petals in a cup, and what a spread: soft sleepy chamomile, tart ruby hibiscus, cooling chrysanthemum, and lavender that people either adore or flee from. The only thing they have in common is that they once bloomed, so treat each flower as its own little personality.
