    Rose Petals

    Rosa gallica

    The honest assessment: rose petal tea's primary value is cultural, sensory, and ritualistic rather than pharmacological. Essential oil content in petals is vanishingly small (4,000 kg of flowers yields 1 kg of oil), so virtually all volatile terpenoids are lost in tea preparation. What the...

    Sencha Green Tea

    Camellia sinensis var. sinensis

    Japan's everyday tea and the most popular tea in Japan — steamed for fifteen to twenty seconds to stop oxidation, then rolled and dried into thin dark needles. The steaming is what separates it from a Chinese green: it gives sencha the grassy, faintly seaweed-like...

    Grassy and vegetal with a touch of seaweed and a clean sweet finish; greenish-gold in the cup

    Cherry

    Prunus avium

I use dillweed often. This dill is fresh and has a nice aroma. I use it in marinades, salad dressings, and on fish. Good stuff.
