| Heath & Heather Nettle Infusion |
Tuesday has rolled around again, which means that today's post is part of Tea for Tuesday! Technically, it's been more "find a substitute for caffeinated green tea, which mostly consists of herb and fruit infusions", rather than tea, but let's just ignore that. Today's "tea" is of the nettle variety and is produced by Heath & Heather. Nettle is well-known for its health-boosting benefits, and is also rather conveniently caffeine-free. As with tea, it's also possible to make your own brew using stinging nettle leaves, but I'm not sure how to do this yet, so for now, bags it is!
The aroma of the infusion is reasonably subtle, giving off an earthy smell that's somewhere between green tea and mushroom broth. That might sound unpleasant, but it's actually quite nice, and the infusion's colour reflects scent of it as well.
Taste-wise, it's very similar to mild green tea, which I was pleased about as I have so missed that taste! However, it isn't as bitter as some brands of sencha can be, so if that's something you find off-putting about green tea, then nettle infusions might be an alternative to try. Personally, I loved this one!
