Mallow flowers
Malva sylvestris
Crinkled, deep violet-blue flowers, almost inky when dry, with paler lilac streaks. Mild and softly sweet, they give a blend a dramatic splash of colour and a silky, rounded feel in the cup.

Why we love mallow flowers
Colour that changes
Steeped on its own, mallow brews a soft blue cup that blushes pink with a squeeze of lemon, a little kitchen magic.
Silky and mild
Mallow's gentle, softly sweet flavour and smooth mouthfeel round out a blend without stealing the show.
Naturally caffeine-free
Mallow contains no caffeine and looks just as lovely in an Earl Grey as in an evening herbal.
Good to know
No special cautions for most people in normal tea amounts.
Common mallow grows along roadsides and field edges across Europe, North Africa and Asia. The colour mauve takes its name from the French word for mallow, and Greeks and Romans ate its young leaves as a vegetable. Dried mallow flowers have long been steeped across Europe as a simple, pretty tisane.
