What does this tea contain, and does it have any additives? — Horse chestnut, flowers 25g LekraSet

The composition of this product is as simple as it gets: 100% crushed flowers of Aesculus hippocastanum (horse chestnut). It contains no flavourings, sweeteners, colourings or other plant ingredients.

Horse chestnut flowers contain flavonoids and saponins — natural plant compounds that are widely studied as components of plant material. Saponins in particular are considered one of the characteristic “markers” of horse chestnut and largely account for the interest in it in the European herbal tradition. In an infusion, these substances pass gently into the water, which makes the tea convenient for use in courses.

This single-ingredient format is especially valued by those who want to know exactly what they are drinking — without having to make sense of the multi-ingredient composition of a blend. It is also convenient if you already use other herbal teas and want to add horse chestnut flowers as a separate item to your home herbal collection.
