White Hawthorn Cut and Sifted 4 oz (Espino Blanco) for Tea

White hawthorn, cut and sifted, 4 oz. Crataegus monogyna, grown and harvested in Mexico, and known as espino blanco in Spanish. One ingredient, nothing added.

How to make white hawthorn tea, and why it is a long steep

Add 1 to 2 teaspoons to 8 fl oz of boiling water and steep for 10 to 15 minutes, then strain. That is a long steep by the standards of this range and it is deliberate. Hawthorn is woody and it does not give much up in five minutes. 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

Mild and slightly tart, with a dry, faintly woody finish. It is gentler than most of the barks and roots we sell and it takes lemon well. Naturally caffeine free.

What is in the bag

Cut and sifted white hawthorn and nothing else. One ingredient, no fillers, no flavouring, nothing added.

What white hawthorn is

A thorny shrub or small tree of the rose family, alongside raspberry, blackberry and rose itself, covered in white blossom in spring.

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.
