From the Latin word "Tilia" and originating from Swedish botanist Linnaeus, the Linden tree is very present in Europe and Asia Minor. It grows wild in a variety of areas: forests, fields, but also in gardens. Linden blossom is known for its infusions and herbal teas, often used for sleep disorders. It is also known for its medicinal properties and the many benefits it provides to the body and mind.
