Mullein Tea Coarse Leaf is a single-ingredient herbal infusion made from the dried leaves of Verbascum thapsus, a tall wildflower with soft, downy leaves and a long history in European herbal tea traditions. This coarse-cut version has visibly larger leaf pieces and a mild, meadow-like character with gentle earthy, hay and light honey-like notes. Naturally caffeine free and made without added flavours or sweeteners, it brews a smooth, delicate cup that stays mild even with a longer steep. Mullein can be enjoyed on its own or paired with lemon, honey, peppermint, lemon balm, thyme or elderflower. Because the leaves are naturally downy, strain the infusion through a very fine mesh, coffee filter or empty tea bag before serving. For an easy way to contain the leaf while brewing, see Tea Life’s empty tea bags. Prefer a smaller cut? Explore Tea Life’s Mullein Tea Fine Leaf.
