Whole Hawthorn Berries (Crataegus monogyna): Bulk Dried Hawthorn Berry for Tea, Naturally Grown & Organic

🌿 From the Sacred Plant Co Farm. Sacred Plant Co is a soil-first farm. Our own farm in Colorado earned a groundbreaking Haney Soil Health Score of 25.4, a number that surpasses the soil biology measured in pristine forest land. That score is the heart of who we are. We believe healthier soil grows more complex, more potent plants, and that philosophy is the reason we hold every herb we carry to the same exacting standard of purity, transparency, and per-lot testing.

How do I brew hawthorn berry tea from whole berries?

Whole hawthorn berries are dense, so we make them as a decoction rather than a quick steep. Add about one tablespoon of berries to two cups of water, bring it to a gentle simmer, and let it go for 15 to 20 minutes with the lid on. Strain, and enjoy the deep cherry and cranberry notes on their own or blended with hibiscus or rose hips. The longer, gentle simmer is what draws the full flavor and color out of the whole fruit.

What do your hawthorn berries taste like?

Our whole Crataegus monogyna berries carry tasting notes of cherry, cranberry, and a subtle astragalus-like earthiness. The result is a brew that is fruity and tart up front with a smooth, rounded finish. It blends beautifully with hibiscus, rose hips, and linden for a heartier herbal tea.

What is the difference between your naturally grown and organic hawthorn berries?

Both come from vetted partner farms in Albania and Bulgaria, grown right where Crataegus monogyna thrives, and both are whole, air-dried Crataegus monogyna berries. The Certified Organic line carries formal organic certification, and we hold both lines to the same standard we hold every herb we offer to: the same per-lot lab testing and the same 100% money-back guarantee.

Can I use hawthorn berries if I take prescription medication?

Hawthorn has a long traditional association with the heart and circulation, and because of that history it may interact with certain prescription medications. We always recommend checking with your qualified healthcare practitioner before adding hawthorn berries to your routine, especially if you take any cardiovascular or other prescription medication. You can review the purity and potency of the exact lot you receive through the COA we publish for every batch.
