Apple Blossom, Wolfberry, and Honey Tea

Why people make this tea

Nourilo came across apple blossoms at a small flower-tea shop and was immediately drawn in — partly by the name, partly by the delicate white trumpet-shaped petals and their sweet, clean fragrance. Apple blossom is not yet widely known in Western herbal tradition, but in Chinese flower-tea culture it has a growing following for its gentle association with blood nourishment and skin brightening. Paired with wolfberries — one of the most familiar Chinese superfoods in the Western world — and a spoonful of good honey, this tea makes a lovely, restorative afternoon drink that is easy to prepare anywhere.
