I like citrus and berries of any kind. You want dried and not
adulterated with sugar for example. I have apple and cherry trees and
prefer the blossoms over the fruit. I basically buy my tisanes at an
herbal shop. I know botanical websites are dime a dozen. I bought
some batches of flowers a florist would have tossed away. I can't
wait for my wife's Valentine roses to wilt. My favorite flower
lilac. I like it in my aftershave and tea.

PS I'm in the process of locating local horticulturists and finding
out who is selling the organic dried stuff.

Over the past couple of years I've been adding dried flowers and

Jim, I have in the past mixed dried fruit with the teas with mixed
success. Apple seemed to go the best (really dried apple) but
cranberries not so great (slightly wet) perhaps because of the
acitidy. Do you have specific fruits you liked more than others?

Also, I have been looking for organically grown dried flowers - can
you recommend some place?
