Red Clover Cut and Sifted 4 oz (Trébol Rojo) for Red Clover Tea

Dried red clover for tea, cut and sifted, 4 oz. Trifolium pratense, known as trébol rojo in Spanish. Grown and harvested in Albania.

How to make red clover tea

Add 1 to 3 teaspoons to 8 fl oz of boiling water. Cover and steep for 10 minutes, then strain. Start at 1 teaspoon and work up, since the strength is yours to set with a loose herb. Because it is cut and sifted the pieces are small, so a fine mesh strainer or a tea ball holds them better than a wide colander.

What it tastes like

Floral and mild, with a touch of vanilla on the finish. It is one of the gentler herbal teas, closer to chamomile than to a bitter root, and it takes lemon or a spoon of coconut sugar well. It is naturally caffeine free.

What is in the bag

Cut and sifted red clover, and nothing else. One ingredient, no fillers, nothing added. Cut and sifted means the dried herb is chopped small and screened, so it brews evenly and measures out by the teaspoon.

What red clover is

A short lived perennial in the pea family, the same family as beans and lentils, with the round pink and purple flower heads you see through meadows and pasture across Europe and North America. Farmers have grown it for centuries as fodder and as a cover crop, because it puts nitrogen back into the soil.

How to store it

Tightly closed in a dry place at room temperature, 59 to 86°F (15 to 30°C), as printed on the bag.
