Tea with Sea Buckthorn
Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) is a hardy plant with bright orange berries. In tea blends, sea buckthorn is prized above all for its intensely fruity flavour and its distinctive tartness.
Origin and Cultivation
Botany
Hippophae rhamnoides · Sandy, well-drained soils · Europe & Central Asia
Sea buckthorn thrives mainly in sandy, well-drained soils and is especially widespread in Europe and Central Asia. This hardy plant also thrives under demanding climatic conditions — wind, salt and nutrient-poor soils are no problem for it.
For tea blends, the berries are carefully harvested and gently processed, to preserve their colour and aroma.
Taste and Character

Preparing Sea Buckthorn Tea
How to prepare your tea perfectly
The longer the steeping time, the more intense the fruity tartness becomes. Try out different steeping times to find your favourite intensity.
Notes
- Sea buckthorn is a food and does not replace medical treatment.
- For a sensitive stomach, a moderate dosage is advisable.
