A traditional remedy, orange blossom water in Spain (Neroli) was originally given to extremely grief-stricken and hysterical family members, or those who had acute panic attacks. Much more potent than the more popular everyday linden flower remedy (Tila) you see in grocery stores, this rarely talked about orange blossom water is even used to wipe out migraine headaches caused by tension.
The experience of drinking orange blossom tea is much more pleasant than the bitter water you can occasionally find at a high end kitchen shop or exotic liquor store. It is light and sweet after steeping just 5 minutes, and needs nothing added. The journey from panic to peace does not result in a numb mind like other herbs. Kava Kava for example, is actually supposed to brew like coffee like they do in Tonga, and to be effective it is so strong that it numbs your tongue and calms your nerves by numbing your body. Orange blossom tea takes anxiety that feels like iron nails on a chalkboard to the soft scratch of a pencil on paper. You keep all of your awareness of the situation. The tea simply diminishes the severity of the situation until you can look at it from a place of safe detachment. Typically it doesn't take more than a few minutes before you notice the shift.
Remarkably, although orange juice is extremely popular, the supply of orange blossoms is tiny, perhaps because Americans are completely unaware of this floral gem. After an unpleasant but intense experience (taste) from the bottled orange blossom water a Spanish colleague recommended to me when I had a migraine headache, though effective, I was determined to find a supply of orange blossoms that could be made into a much more expectedly pleasant tea.
It took more than a year of dead ends to find a reliable source for this product. The one and only company that used to carry it, simply stopped. But that didn't stop me. If you've ever had a migraine, you'll know why. So, now through an exclusive arrangement you can purchase your own package of what we call Azahares (Spanish for "blossoms"). Each small bag of loose tea is enough to brew 12 mugs of delicious relief.
