Directions of Use

1. Home Brewing: Add during the boil for bitterness, or "dry hop" in the fermenter for intense floral and citrus aromas in your Pale Ale or IPA.

2. Wellness Tea: Steep 1-2 heaping teaspoons in hot water for 5-10 minutes. Warning: Hops are naturally very bitter; we recommend blending with Chamomile or Peppermint and adding honey.

3. Sleep Pillows: Place a handful of dried cones inside a small sateen pouch and tuck it into your pillowcase to enjoy the natural, sedative aromatic oils.

4. Botanical Extracts: Macerate in high-proof spirits or glycerine for 4-6 weeks to create your own potent relaxation tincture.

Hops Flowers — Humulus lupulus, Europe

Hops Flowers (Humulus lupulus) — whole dried hop cones sourced from European growing regions. The hop plant is a climbing perennial in the Cannabaceae family, cultivated primarily for the brewing industry where the female flower cones — commonly called "hops" — provide the characteristic bitterness, aroma, and preservation properties that define modern beer. Humulus lupulus has a history of cultivation for brewing dating back to at least the 9th century in Europe, and the hop cone is one of the most important agricultural commodities in the brewing world.

Beyond brewing, whole hop cones are used as a botanical tea ingredient and in botanical manufacturing. The flavour of dried hops is distinctively bitter, earthy, and resinous — the aroma is complex, ranging from floral and citrusy in some varieties to herbal, spicy, and intensely resinous in others. As a tea ingredient, hops are typically used at low inclusion rates in blends (5–15%) where the bitterness provides a counterpoint to sweeter or milder herbs. They pair naturally with chamomile, lemon balm, valerian, and passionflower in botanical blend formulations. The whole cone format is the standard supply format for botanical tea use. Freeze-treated. This product is sold as a food only.

Hops Flowers — FAQs

Everything you need to know before you order.

Hops Flowers are the dried female flower cones of Humulus lupulus, a climbing perennial plant cultivated across Europe, North America, and parts of Australia and New Zealand. They are best known as the ingredient that gives beer its characteristic bitterness, aroma, and preservation properties — a role hops have played in European brewing since at least the 9th century. Beyond brewing, whole dried hop cones are used as a botanical tea ingredient, in botanical blend manufacturing, and in distillery applications. The small, papery, cone-shaped flowers contain lupulin glands — the yellow powder inside the cone — which hold the bitter acids and essential oils responsible for the flavour and aroma profile.
Hops have a distinctively bitter, earthy-resinous flavour with complex aromatic undertones that vary by variety — ranging from floral and citrusy to herbal and spicy. As a tea ingredient the bitterness is pronounced — a small amount goes a long way. Most blenders use hops at 5–15% of total blend weight where the bitterness provides contrast and depth alongside milder herbs. Hops pair naturally with chamomile (floral contrast), lemon balm (citrus-herb softens the bitterness), valerian (classic European pairing in evening herb teas), and passionflower. Brewed at 1 teaspoon per cup in hot water for 5 minutes — a longer steep increases bitterness significantly.
Hops oxidise and lose their aromatic complexity with exposure to air, heat, and light — a process familiar to any home brewer who has opened a stale packet of hops. Store in a sealed, airtight container below 23°C away from light. Reseal immediately after each use. For longer-term storage of large bulk quantities, the freezer is the preferred option — hop cones store very well frozen in sealed, airtight bags. Under room-temperature sealed storage, quality is well maintained for 1–2 years; refrigeration or freezing extends this significantly.
