Blossoms
Blue Cornflower
The Sapphire Petal
The Heritage & Harvest
Admired across European botanical traditions for its striking sapphire-blue petals, Blue Cornflower brings remarkable visual beauty to premium infusions. Carefully selected petals are gently dried to preserve their natural colour and refined floral character.
What Makes It Special
Its vivid colour is associated with naturally occurring anthocyanin pigments, accompanied by flavonoids and polyphenols. Whole petals add elegance and botanical distinction without overpowering a blend.
The Cup
