Red clover tea (Trifolium pratense) is made from the dried flowering tops, rubbed into a tea-ready cut, and traditionally valued for its gentle support of skin health and women's wellness. Rich in naturally occurring isoflavones, red clover has a long history of use in Western herbalism as a nourishing, mineral-rich infusion with a mild, slightly sweet flavour that blends well on its own or with other herbs. Key Benefits Skin support: Traditionally used as a gentle internal support for clear, healthy skin. One of the most valued red clover tea benefits. Women's wellness: Traditionally used to support women through life transitions, including menopause. Contains naturally occurring isoflavones. Mineral rich: A nourishing herb rich in calcium, magnesium, potassium and other trace minerals, making it ideal as a daily nutritive infusion. Gentle flavour: Mild, slightly sweet taste that works well as a standalone tea or blended with other herbs for a more complex infusion. Versatile use: Suitable as a simple tea, nourishing long infusion, or blending ingredient in wellness tea mixes. How to Use Tea: Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of rubbed red clover to a cup of boiling water. Steep for 10 to 15 minutes, covered. Strain and drink up to 3 cups daily. Nourishing infusion: Steep 15 to 30 grams in 1 litre of hot water for 4 to 8 hours (or overnight). Strain and sip throughout the day as a mineral-rich tonic. Blending: Combine with Nettle Leaf for a mineral-rich daily infusion, with Raspberry Leaf for women's wellness support, or with Calendula for skin-focused blends. Good to Know Red clover is a member of the legume family and produces the distinctive pink-purple flower heads that have been a staple of herbal traditions for centuries. In folk herbalism, it was known as a "blood cleanser" and was commonly included in spring tonics. Our red clover is currently supplied rubbed (flowering tops broken down) rather than as whole flower heads, which makes it easy to measure and blend. The rubbed flowering tops make a lovely addition to herbal tea blends. Store in an airtight container away from heat and light to preserve colour and potency.
