Origin: Albania
The decoction from Dried bearberry leaves ( Arctostaphylos uva-ursi ), also known as "arctostaphylos", have a distinctive flavor profile characterized by intense astringency , light bitterness, and earthy notes of dry wood. In Greece and Europe, it is one of the most traditional herbs for supporting the urinary system.
Flavor Combinations & Mixtures
Due to its high tannin content, its taste can be quite "harsh." It is recommended to mix it with other herbs to balance the taste:
Bearberry + Rosehip + Linden : This combination balances the tartness with the acidity of the rosehip and the sweetness of the linden.
Bearberry + Mint : Mint offers a cooling sensation that "cleanses" the bitterness of bearberry.
Bearberry + Dandelion : A classic earthy blend often used in herbal "Kidney Teas".
Bearberry + Lemon Balm : The lemony aroma of lemon balm freshens the drink and makes it more pleasant.
