The stinging nettle itself is only one variety of the plant, which is collectively named "nettle plant". In Europe, approximately 45 sorts of this plant can be found. The different sorts grow between 10 and 250 cm high. Their very small and often unrecognised blossoms are often pale-white. By the way, not only small insects fly onto the inconspicuous blossoms, but also a lot of different types of butterflies use the stinging nettle as food plant when they are still caterpillars. The human being, however, likes the younger shoots better and uses them, depending on age and freshness, for salads, spinach or even for delicious cheese. A freshly brewed stinging nettle tea can be described as typically herbal with a slight hint of spinach.

The fennel is a plant that especially gives pleasure to farmers in the region of Provence in France. However, this annually returning plant with its green leaves needs sufficient warmth and, above all rich soil. The well-known seed, however, can be harvested only in late summer. The fennel has then reached the highest stage of its development and finally forms the first seeds. Due to a taste that is similar to aniseed, the fennel seed can be used in very different ways. In general, people brew an infusion. Being acid free, it is not only suitable for little children but also for the grown-up "children" who like drinking it when they do not feel very good. The seeds are also processed in brown bread. The dried fennel leaves are excellent as spice for fish, meatballs, salads or soups.

It is especially suitable as a single fruit for a delicious and thirst-quenching infusion. In fruit tea blends it is today one of the most important ingredients and almost indispensable.

The hibiscus, as connoisseurs know, consists of the hibiscus' calyx and external calyx. They are harvested during the time of the fruits and then dried. The inner calyx is 3 cm long and up to the middle it is ball-like. Above there are five upward bent tips. The external calyx consists of 10 small, slim leaves that are strongly "anchored" with the calyx basis. After its flowering time the fleshy and slightly crumbly calyxes take on their typical red color. The main countries of cultivation of the hibiscus, also known as mallow, are the Sudan, Egypt, China, Mexico and Thailand. The infusion of the hibiscus blossom can either be drunk pure or in form of a fruit tea blend.

These blossoms which are a major part of fruit teas give a fresh and tangy infusion. Depending on the country of origin, the color and acidity varies. The imports from Thailand give a dark infusion with less acidity. Our Sudanese hibiscus, on the other hand, has a noticeably stronger acidity and a brighter cup. Hence, with fruit tea blends you can determine the degree of acidity and/or color by trying out different quantities and qualities of hibiscus blossoms. To those who are very thirsty, we can recommend the pure, freshly brewed and cool hibiscus tea as a really thirstquenching drink in summer.
