Calendula Loose Leaf Herbal Tea - 1 oz

Calendula Loose Leaf Herbal Tea 

Origin and Characteristics
Calendula (Calendula officinalis), often called “pot marigold,” is a flowering herb native to the Mediterranean region and has been cultivated throughout Europe, Asia, and North America for centuries. Its bright golden-orange petals have long been used in herbal traditions, culinary applications, and natural skincare.

Unlike ornamental marigolds, calendula is prized for its edible petals and gentle herbal properties. The flowers are harvested and dried shortly after blooming to preserve their color and beneficial compounds.
