Wild Safflower

Our wild safflower has interestingly both honey-caramel notes reminiscent of rooibos and savoury notes, and may be enjoyed with pumpkin sugar crystals or honey. It is foraged and handpicked at 1,900m above sea level, with traditional methods, from its native habitat, in the Lori region of Armenia. The golden petals are dried in the shade under the ceramic roof of a natural drier to preserve the quality and taste.

    Medical disclaimer

    Any noted health benefits of our herbal infusions are from traditional medicine and should not be used to prevent or cure any disease. Consult a GP if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or have any other health concerns.

  • Our wild safflower is hand harvested 1,900m above sea level from its native habitat, in the Lori region of Armenia, by the residents of the village of Odzun, supervised by an ethnobotanist, using methods of collection and processing passed down over thousands of years. The golden petals are dried in the shade under the ceramic roof of a natural drier to preserve the quality and taste.
  • Safflower was used in ancient Armenia, as in many Middle East countries, for textile dyeing. The Latin name Carthamus derives from the Arabic verb qurtum meaning dye, in reference to the usage of safflower petals for textile dyeing. Interestingly, the modern Arabic name of safflower “al-usfur”, is derived from the word “asfar” meaning yellow. It is considered one of humanity’s oldest crops having been used for thousands of years. Medieval Armenian herbalists would use safflower tisane as a remedy for treating insomnia, decreasing anxiety levels and to strengthen the liver, gall bladder and respiratory system. At present, safflower is used in traditional medicine as an herbal remedy as a decongestant, to detoxify the body and to protect the digestive and circulatory systems (in particular, balancing cholesterol levels).
  • Delivery time 1 - 5 working days, after the day of despatch. Order before 2pm on a working day for same day despatch.

    Deliveries outside the UK are available on request, please contact us with your delivery address and order, as we will be able to arrange international delivery via standard postal service or courier.
