Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) is one of the oldest known spice plants and is prized worldwide for its distinctive aroma.
Dried coriander seeds bring a warm, slightly nutty and subtle citrus note to tea blends. They add depth of flavour and complement both spicy and fresh compositions.
Origin and Tradition
Originally native to the eastern Mediterranean and Western Asia, coriander is now cultivated in many countries – including India, Morocco and Mexico. The seeds are gently dried to preserve their typical aroma.
Taste and Character
- Warm: slightly spicy and rounded
- Nutty: with subtle depth
- Citrusy: a fine, fresh nuance
Coriander harmonises particularly well with other spices and herbs and gives tea blends a well-balanced structure.
