Marigold Flowers – Tagetes erecta L.

Vibrant flowers for tea and tradition.

Marigold flowers (Tagetes erecta), also known as Mexican marigold, are bright orange blossoms traditionally valued in South American and Mesoamerican herbal cultures. Known for their naturally vivid color, these flowers are rich in carotenoid pigments such as lutein, which contribute to their deep golden hue. Marigold has long been used in herbal teas, culinary infusions, and traditional wellness routines, with a mild, earthy–floral aroma and gently bitter taste.

These carefully dried flowers are suitable for tea, infusions, and natural culinary coloring, and are also appreciated in traditional practices for general wellness and aromatic enjoyment. Sourced from regions where marigold thrives in warm climates, they are hand-filled in small batches and packed in a kraft pouch to preserve freshness, color, and aroma. Do not exceed typical culinary amounts. Consult a healthcare professional if pregnant, nursing, or taking medications. For educational and culinary use only.
