Cornflower tea is generally described as mild and pleasant, with a light floral character. The plant contains naturally occurring bitter substances, so the infusion has a subtle, gentle bitterness that is not overpowering. The anthocyanins and flavonoids give the tea its color and contribute to a slightly earthy or herbaceous undertone. Because this product is a single-herb flower with no added flavors, the taste is straightforward and clean. Some people find it similar to other light flower teas, though it tends to be less sweet and a bit more vegetal. The bitterness becomes more noticeable if you steep the tea for a long time or use a generous amount of flowers. If you prefer a milder cup, use a shorter steeping time or fewer flowers. You can also add a small amount of honey or a slice of lemon to round out the flavor, though the product itself contains no added ingredients. This tea is often chosen by people who like to rotate different botanicals and want a simple, floral cup without extra components.
