How to Brew: Perfect Infusion Temperature & Steeping Time
For optimal flavor extraction and maximum benefit from the delicate herbal compounds, follow these precise brewing guidelines.
Water Temperature & Quantity
Heat fresh filtered water to approximately 95°C (203°F) just below boiling point. This temperature protects the volatile essential oils in peppermint while fully extracting linden's gentle compounds. Use 3 to 4 tablespoons (8 to 10 grams) of the dried blend per liter of water.
Steeping Process
Place the herbal blend in a glass or porcelain teapot materials that won't interfere with the delicate flavors. Pour the hot water over the herbs, then immediately cover the pot to trap the aromatic essential oils. Allow to steep for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even extraction. The infusion will develop a pale golden color with visible mint leaf fragments.
Serving Suggestions
Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into your cup. This tisane is naturally sweet and requires no additions, though a touch of honey can enhance the linden's honeyed notes if desired. For sleep support, enjoy 1 to 2 cups in the evening, ideally one hour before bedtime. For digestive comfort, sip slowly immediately following meals.
The tisane can be enjoyed hot for maximum aromatics, or cooled and served over ice during warmer months for a refreshing digestive tonic.
Pure Organic Ingredients: French Linden Bract & Peppermint Leaf
This thoughtfully balanced blend combines two classic European herbs, each selected for their distinctive sensory qualities and traditional wellness properties.
Linden Bract (Tilia X europaea) - 80%
The foundation of this infusion features delicate linden bracts harvested from certified organic European linden trees. These pale golden-green bracts release a gentle, honey-sweet aroma with subtle floral undertones when steeped. Rich in flavonoids and natural mucilages, linden creates a smooth, mellowing base that feels like a warm embrace in liquid form.
Peppermint Leaf (Mentha piperita) - 20%
Vibrant green peppermint leaves provide refreshing counterpoint to linden's softness. These aromatic leaves contain natural menthol and essential oils that awaken the senses with their cooling, crisp character. The peppermint adds a bright, clean finish that dances on the tongue while supporting digestive comfort.
Both ingredients are certified organic, cultivated in France without chemical fertilizers or pesticides, ensuring maximal purity and respect for natural cultivation traditions.
Sleep Support & Digestive Wellness
This traditional French herbal blend offers gentle support for both evening relaxation and digestive comfort, making it ideal for unwinding after meals or preparing for restful sleep.
Evening Relaxation & Sleep Support
Linden bract has been treasured for centuries for its natural calming properties. The flavonoids and gentle sedative compounds help relax the nervous system, easing mild tension and irritability that can interfere with sleep. Many find that regular evening consumption helps quiet racing thoughts and creates conditions favorable for falling asleep more easily.
The soothing nature of this blend supports the transition from daily activity to peaceful rest, helping reduce nighttime awakenings and promoting deeper, more restorative sleep cycles.
Digestive Comfort
Peppermint leaf contributes significant digestive benefits through its natural menthol content and essential oils. These compounds help soothe occasional bloating, reduce feelings of heaviness after meals, and support overall gastrointestinal comfort. The cooling sensation of peppermint aids in easing minor digestive discomfort, particularly after rich or heavy dinners.
Stress Reduction & Nervous System Support
The synergy between linden and peppermint creates a balancing effect on the nervous system. Linden's gentle sedative properties combine with peppermint's refreshing, uplifting character to reduce stress-related tension while maintaining mental clarity. This makes the blend suitable for both evening relaxation and daytime stress relief.
Caffeine-free and gentle enough for daily use, this herbal infusion supports natural wellness rhythms without disrupting sleep patterns.
French & European Herbal Wisdom
This blend embodies centuries of European herbal tradition, combining two plants that have formed the cornerstone of household remedies across France and Central Europe since ancient times.
Linden in French Culture
Linden tea, known as "tisane de tilleul" in France, holds a special place in French cultural life as the quintessential bedtime beverage. For generations, French families have passed down the ritual of preparing linden tea in the evening, particularly for children and those seeking gentle relaxation. Village squares throughout France are traditionally planted with linden trees, which become gathering places during the June flowering season when the fragrant blossoms are harvested for drying.
The practice of drinking linden tea before bed became so embedded in French culture that it's virtually synonymous with comfort, maternal care, and the transition to sleep a liquid lullaby in a teacup.
Peppermint Through History
Peppermint's medicinal use dates back to ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, where it was valued for both its digestive properties and refreshing character. Medieval herbalists throughout Europe cultivated peppermint in monastery gardens, prescribing it for stomach ailments and to aid digestion after feasts. The herb became particularly popular in French and English herbal medicine during the 17th and 18th centuries.
The combination of linden and peppermint represents a marriage of French herbal tradition with broader European botanical wisdom a time-honored formula that modern herbalists continue to recommend for its gentle effectiveness and pleasant taste.
