Heather flowers have been used to make herbal infusions for fighting symptoms of colds and flu. The Scottish Heather tea contains black tea from Africa and India, and 4.5% heather blossoms. The appearance of black tea mixed with purple buds is very lovely like Sakura Sencha but the brewed beverage is relatively plain. However, the hills seem to come alive with the sound of bagpipes when a splash of single malt Whiskey is added to the tea. Still, the tea is blended for taking milk and has subtle earthiness, likely from heather.
