Cornflower
Whole blue heads, the prettiest flower we dry. 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
A blue that survives the drying.
Keep it for the pot you bring out when someone visits. Picked at exactly full opening and dried in complete darkness, which is what lets the blue survive.
Cornflower is taken for tired, strained eyes - as a cooled compress as often as a cup - and for the complexion besides. Very delicate, faintly sweet and clove-like. As much for the look of the cup as the taste, and no less worth it for that.
