Tarragon: The King of Herbs and a Tea Lover’s Delight
When it comes to herbal teas, tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) is often an unsung hero. Known as the “King of Herbs” in French cuisine, tarragon also holds a special place in herbal medicine and wellness practices. At Angie’s Gardens, we love tarragon for its distinct flavor, versatility, and impressive health benefits, making it a standout ingredient in our herbal tea blends.
A Unique Flavor Profile
Tarragon boasts a slightly sweet, licorice-like flavor with earthy undertones. This delicate yet robust profile adds a sophisticated touch to any tea blend. Whether paired with chamomile for a calming bedtime tea or with peppermint for a refreshing afternoon pick-me-up, tarragon’s flavor elevates the tea experience.
Fun fact: Tarragon’s unique taste comes from a compound called estragole, which is also found in basil and anise.
Why Tarragon is a Wellness Champion
Tarragon’s benefits extend far beyond its delightful taste. This herb has been used for centuries to support health and well-being:
- Digestive Support: Tarragon has long been used to aid digestion, soothe an upset stomach, and reduce bloating. A warm cup of tea with tarragon can be the perfect post-meal remedy.
- Stress Relief: With its natural calming properties, tarragon is ideal for reducing stress and promoting relaxation. Pair it with lemon balm for a tea that soothes the mind and body.
- Antioxidant Power: Tarragon contains antioxidants that help fight free radicals and oxidative stress, supporting overall health.
- Sleep Aid: A lesser-known benefit of tarragon is its subtle sedative effects, which can help you drift off to sleep when incorporated into an evening tea.
Fun fact: In ancient times, tarragon was nicknamed “dragon herb” due to its Latin name and was believed to ward off fatigue and even poisonous bites.
