What Is Flor De Tila?
Flor De Tila, also known as Tila or Linden Flower, is a popular herbal ingredient derived from the Chiranthodendron Pentadactylon tree. This deciduous tree can grow 20–40 metres tall, developing a distinctive pyramid shape when young and maturing into a fuller, rounder form. It features 15 cm heart-shaped leaves and light yellow, five-petaled flowers that emit a sweet fragrance beloved by bees. The flowers and bracts are harvested and dried for uses in teas and tinctures. Evergreen Herbs offers Flor De Tila in a convenient 8 oz resealable pouch, ensuring freshness and ease of uses.
How to Uses Flor De Tila
Flor De Tila is versatile and easy to prepare. For a hot tea, uses 1–2 teaspoons of dried flowers per cup of boiling water. Steep for 5–10 minutes, depending on desired strength. Strain and enjoy plain or with a touch of honey. For iced tea, double the amount of herb, steep as usual, then pour over ice. You can also infuse Flor De Tila into cold water overnight for a gentle cold-brew tea. Beyond beverages, Flor De Tila can be used in tinctures or added to bath blends for aromatherapy. To make a tincture, fill a jar with dried flowers, cover with high-proof alcohol, and let steep for 4–6 weeks, shaking daily. Strain and uses as directed. It pairs wonderfully with chamomile, lemon balm, and valerian root—experiment with ratios to create your perfect blend.
