History of Linden Tea

Linden Flowers

Linden tea has been cherished across Europe for centuries for its gentle, calming qualities. It goes by different names: in the UK, “lime blossom”’; in Spain, “tila”; in France, “tilleul”; and the name “Linden” comes from the Germanic word linde, referring to the tree itself.

The Linden tree, or Tilia, grows in forest and lines city streets throughout Europe. Its heart-shaped leaves and fragrant blossoms are harvested in early summer to make tea, a tradition that has been passed down for generations.  A staple in European homes, pharmacies, and markets alike, Tila Alba now brings this quiet tradition into your everyday moments.
