Our Review: Yarrow is a freely growing ‘weed’ in the UK, used for medicinal purposes going back thousands of years. Tulsi read about it in a herb guide and couldn’t wait to try some, after learning about all the different things it might be good for, including lowering fevers, staunching bleeding, reducing heavy menstrual bleeding, lowering blood pressure, improving circulation, and just about anything else you can think of related to cardiovascular health. Historically, it was also used to season cooking.

The tea smells strongly like rosemary or oregano – something you’d put in pasta sauce. It’s very savoury. The taste is similar – like rosemary, but bitter. It’s quite a nice, mild flavour if you don’t over-brew it. But if you follow the recommendations on the box (brew for 5-10 minutes), then WOW. The bitterness becomes intense.

We wouldn’t suggest this one in the morning (unless you’re in the habit of having spaghetti for breakfast), but it’s a good one for the afternoon and after meals. It’s pretty substantial, and the bitterness means it’s packed with loads of good stuff to help with digestion.

Best time of year to drink this: Any time

Best time of day to drink this: Lunch or dinner, as the flavour is so savoury
