The elderberry plant was well known to the native people of North America. The edible berries were used for medicine and dyes for basketry, while the plant stems and branches were used for arrow shafts, flutes, whistles, clapper sticks, and folk medicine. Early European Settlers were familiar with Elderberries as well. Since the middle ages in Europe, the plant was considered a Holy Tree, capable of restoring good health, and an aid to longevity. Today, we recognize its many health benefits, including antioxidant properties and immune support. The tea makers at Oliver Pluff have crafted a delightful herbal blend that combines the benefits of the naturally sweet elderberries with soothing lemon balm, dried ginger, and peppermint leaves, conveniently portioned into fully biodegradable sachets. A comforting beverage, especially during cold and flu season. Try with a drizzle of honey or squeeze of fresh lemon.
