Icelandic tea tradition is deeply rooted in the island nation's rich cultural heritage and close connection to nature. A notable aspect of this tradition lies in the use of traditional Icelandic botanicals, namely Fjallagras, Blóðberg, and Birch leaves. Fjallagras or Iceland moss, is a lichen that thrives in the harsh Icelandic climate and has been used for centuries for its medicinal properties. Blóðberg, also known as Arctic thyme, adds a distinct aromatic flavor to teas and is cherished for its soothing effects. Birch leaves, derived from the birch tree, offer a delicate and refreshing taste. These botanicals not only contribute to the unique flavors of Icelandic teas but also hold significant cultural significance, representing the country's deep respect of nature and its healing powers.
