What it is
This is an herbal tea made from the dried leaves and roots of the dandelion plant. Dandelion is a common plant often found in gardens and fields. The tea is prepared by steeping the tea bag in hot water. It is caffeine-free and offers a unique, earthy flavor. The processing aims to preserve the natural qualities of the dandelion plant.
