Wild Mallow
This truely is a unique infusion as our mallow changes colour in the cup (unaided), from a blueish purple to grey, with a hint of blue when done. Our wild mallow is harvested 1,400 – 1,500m above sea level from the forest of Odzun, in the Lori region of Armenia, by hand. Compared to standard mallow, our mallow is sweeter and more delicate, due to altitude and purer growing conditions, and has a delightful aroma with delicate sweet closing notes. Sit back and enjoy – infusions need not only be about taste and health benefits.

Description
Mallow, or malva (in Latin) and the consumption of every part of the plant, has been noted throughout history by many, including the Greek philosopher, mystic, and mathematician, Pythagoras, the Old Testament of the Bible, and the Roman author, naturalist and natural philosopher, Pliny the Elder. Due to the blue pigment contained in the petals, mallow was used as a natural blue rinse for greying hair, before being replaced by man-made dyes. Medicinally, herbalists would traditionally use mallow to treat digestive issues, inflammation, respiratory illnesses and for pain relief.

The best Nazani tea yet – soothing, slightly sweet, and utterly unique. And the colour! I usually serve mallow to guests when we have people over (at least before we finished the packet, which didn’t take long) and it invariably proves to be a talking point
