Dried Mullein Flowers 2 oz (Gordolobo) for Mullein Tea

Mullein is a tall roadside plant famous for its woolly leaves and a flower stalk that can grow taller than a person. In Mexico the dried flowers are called gordolobo, and gordolobo tea has been a staple in traditional kitchens for generations. These are the dried mullein flowers, the part most tea drinkers look for.

People trying mullein tea for the first time usually ask two things. What does it taste like? Mild and lightly sweet, a little like honey and hay. Does it have caffeine? None at all, so many people enjoy it in the evening.

Each bag holds 2 oz of organic or wildcrafted mullein flowers from Mexico. Just the dried flowers, nothing added.

Gordolobo, and what it means
Gordolobo is the Spanish name for mullein. Same plant, Verbascum thapsus, and in Mexican kitchens gordolobo usually means these dried flowers rather than the leaf. If you grew up with té de gordolobo, this is the flower it was made from. Our bag is 2 oz of organic or wildcrafted gordolobo from Mexico.

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