St. John's Wort
Whole flowering tops, cut at the longest days. Grown clean, dried whole, and kept apart so it steeps to exactly itself.
Sold by the 2 oz pouch. Add a few — loose leaf keeps beautifully.
Shipping & refills
Cut at midsummer, in full flower.
Faintly bitter and resinous, with a green herbal finish. Gathered at the longest days, when the plant is in full flower and the leaf held to the light looks pinpricked with oil glands. St John’s wort is taken over weeks for a low mood and the darker months, never by the single cup.
For the stretch when the light goes early. Steeps a warm gold.
