About the herb
The leaf, not the berry.
In France the leaf has long been the part kept for tisane — gathered in early summer before the fruit takes the bush's energy, and dried flat in the shade so the green holds.
Bright and faintly fruity, with a clean green finish that's nothing like the jam. A good everyday cup.
