Frontier Co-op Linden Flowers, Whole 1/2 lb.

Frontier Co-op Linden Flowers are carefully selected and harvested from the beautiful and aromatic linden tree, also known as the lime tree or basswood. This tree grows up to 130 feet and can be found throughout Europe and Western Asia.

From late spring to early summer linden bears an abundance of fragrant, tiny white-yellow flowers clustered in cymes (flower clusters with a central stem). These flowers are extremely delicate, so an elongated feathery bract forms at the base of the flower cluster to protect it and aid in seed dispersal. The bract is considered part of the flower structure and harvested at the same time as the flowers and buds. Linden flowers are small and yellowish, with a distinctive heart shape and are the most commonly used part of the tree.

These flowers produce a slightly sweet aromatic scent with a hint of citrus, making them perfect for a gentle wellness tea or as a fragrant and effective ingredient in DIY lotions. Its sweet aroma is a relaxing break for mind, body, and spirit.
