Tea Echinacea Loose Leaf

Planet Organic Echinacea Loose Leaf Tea is cut, dried certified organic echinacea, loose in the box and with nothing blended into it, hand packed in Coolum, Queensland. The cup is earthy with a subtly floral edge and a dry, hay like finish, and it wants a long steep, five to ten minutes, to draw the flavour out of the cut herb. It is a plain single herb infusion with no caffeine in it, so it can be brewed at any hour and is the sort of thing people keep in the cupboard for the cooler months.

Product Strengths

• Brews loose in an infuser or teapot and takes a long steep, five to ten minutes, without turning harsh.
• Drinks at any hour, with no caffeine to work around.
• One ingredient only: certified organic echinacea, with no green tea, mint or lemongrass blended in.
• Goes cold well: ice cubes or a few mint leaves turn it into a summer drink.
• Certified organic by Australian Certified Organic (ACO).
• No animal ingredients, so it suits a vegan or vegetarian diet.
• Hand packed in Coolum, Queensland, in a home compostable cellulose inner bag.

Suitable For / Not Suitable For

Suitable for: Vegan and vegetarian diets; anyone avoiding caffeine.

Not suitable for: Anyone advised by a health professional to avoid this herb.

Suggested Use

Boil the kettle and prepare an infuser or teapot. Use one teaspoon of loose echinacea per 250 mL of hot water. Pour the freshly boiled water over the herb and brew for five to ten minutes. For a stronger cup, add an extra teaspoon rather than steeping for longer. Remove the infuser, or pour from the teapot, and drink. In summer, add ice cubes or a few mint leaves for a cold drink.
