Tip
For the most delicious tea, it's best to harvest the young, smaller leaves. These contain the most refined oils and are less bitter than the larger, older leaves that grow at the bottom of the plant. Young leaves are delightfully sweet.
Flavour Profile
Salvia officinalis has a deep, earthy flavour with a slightly bitter undertone and a hint of camphor. Although often used in savoury dishes, it is one of the most popular herbs for a soothing herbal tea. In tea, it provides a warming sensation and is often combined with a spoonful of honey to beautifully balance the bitter notes.

The flavour of sage intensifies as the leaf dries, which is unique for herbs; most herbs lose flavour when dried.

In a hydroponic system, the leaves often remain slightly more tender than outdoors in the sun, making them ideally suited for direct consumption in tea.
