Frequently asked questions

What are calendula petals?

Calendula petals come from Calendula officinalis, commonly called pot marigold. This product contains organic dried petals supplied in cut form.

Is calendula the same as garden marigold?

The common name marigold can refer to different plants. Our calendula is Calendula officinalis. Do not assume an unidentified garden marigold is the same ingredient.

What does calendula tea taste like?

Calendula makes a mild, earthy infusion with light floral notes and a slightly bitter finish. It is less strongly perfumed than rose or lavender.

Can I blend calendula petals with other teas?

Yes. The petals add colour to loose leaf blends. Try a small amount with rooibos or a floral tea and adjust the balance to your preference.

Does calendula tea contain caffeine?

Pure calendula petals are naturally caffeine free. Blending them with black or green tea adds caffeine from those ingredients.

How much space does a 500g pack take up?

Dried petals are light and bulky. A 500g quantity takes up more space than the same weight of cut roots, so allow room in your storage container.

Are there precautions?

Avoid if you are allergic to calendula or plants in the daisy family. Ask a health professional before drinking calendula when pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medicines or managing a medical condition.

How should I store calendula petals?

Keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, strong odours and moisture. Use a dry spoon and follow the best before date on your pack.
