About the herb
The fruit, not the famous flower.
Picked ripe and dried whole until it turns deep orange, gardenia is a cooling herb long taken for heat and restlessness.
Bittersweet and slightly winey, and it stains the cup a startling saffron-orange. Pour it for someone and watch them look at the cup. Striking to look at.
