Paten Susan #3

The Vessels Collection

Named for a shallow plate, this is a floral blending that includes the following aromatics: Tulip, Marjoram and Juniper.

The conquering Mongol warriors of Genghis Khan on their campaign through Hungary brewed a sustaining and succulent tea from the berries of an indigenous shrub. The fruit of the JUNIPER is most slow to ripen, taking some two or three years, and both green and blue berries are found on the very same bush. The green berries are bitter and unpleasant but the ripe blues are sharply sweet and scented.

The TULIP is now associated with Holland but in the 14th century it was the flower of the Great Ottoman Empire. Indeed the very name is derived from the regional headdress of the day, the turban. Each spring the vast lands of the empire bordering the Black Sea were home to fragrant fields of bold color.

Growing wild on the hillsides of the Islands of the Aegean, the Greeks named this herb “Origanum,” which means mountain joy. We know it by the name MARJORAM and use it much in the same way as our ancestors. It has a warm, balsam like scent that gives comfort and calm.
