First Grade Calendula Tea from Inner Mongolia

What is Calendula Tea

Calendula Tea from Inner Mongolia, crafted from the vibrant petals of the Calendula officinalis, embodies the warmth and vitality of the sun itself. Native to the Mediterranean region, this herbal Calendula Tea gets its name from the Latin word “calendae,” meaning the first day of the month, reflecting the Roman observation of the plant’s monthly blooming cycle. The English name “Calendula” stems from this term, highlighting the flower’s regular flowering pattern. Known also as Marigold, this plant offers not only aesthetic pleasure with its bright orange blossoms but also a plethora of health benefits, making it a cherished ingredient in herbal tea blends.

Calendula has a rich history dating back to ancient civilizations, where it was revered not just for its beauty but also for its medicinal properties. The Romans and Greeks used Calendula in rituals and ceremonies, and also believed in its healing powers, particularly in treating skin ailments and as a balm for injured soldiers in battles. In medieval times, it was considered a pot herb, used for its flavor and color in cooking and as a magical protective herb in folklore practices. This historical reverence has been carried into modern times, where Calendula continues to be a symbol of comfort and natural healing, bridging the gap between past and present herbal medicine practices.

The production of Calendula Tea is a meticulous process that begins with the careful cultivation of Calendula officinalis in the fertile, well-drained soils of Inner Mongolia. Thriving in the region’s mild and cool climate, the flowers are grown using traditional farming techniques that eschew modern chemicals, ensuring a natural, organic product. The blooms are harvested manually, selecting only the healthiest flowers to proceed to the next stage. Post-harvest, the petals are gently dried through natural sun-drying techniques, preserving their vibrant color and essential oils, which are crucial for the tea’s aromatic and therapeutic qualities. This method ensures that the final product, when steeped, releases a rich, clear yellow infusion with a subtly sweet taste and a soothing herbal aroma, making it not only a delight for the senses but also a restorative, healthful beverage.
