Badia Linden Leaves Herbal Tea (Tilo), 0.25 oz

Tilo is the dried flower and bract of the linden tree, brewed across Latin America and Europe as a soft, honey-scented infusion. The cup pours pale gold with a delicate floral aroma and a clean, slightly sweet finish — lighter than chamomile, more aromatic than green tea.

How to Brew

Use one heaping teaspoon of dried tilo per 8 oz of water. Heat water to about 200°F, pour over the flowers, and cover for 5 to 7 minutes. Strain into a cup. The longer the steep, the rounder the honey notes; go shorter for a more floral, tea-like brew. Sweeten with honey if desired.

When to Drink

Late evening, during a cold front, or any moment you want to ease into stillness. Caffeine-free, so it fits before bed or alongside a book in the afternoon.

Traditional Use

In Argentina, Cuba, Mexico, and across Spain, tilo is the cup poured during long conversations and quiet nights. French and Eastern European households brew it as tilleul or lipa, often after dinner. The 0.25 oz pouch holds loose flowers — the form preferred by anyone who grew up watching it steeped from scratch.
