Why we love this botanical
C orn silk – the silky threads of the corn cob – has a soft, sweet-green scent that evokes memories of warm fields and ripening grain. The first impression is friendly and light, with a subtle cane sugar-like tone that immediately awakens a sense of simplicity and comfort. The herb behaves modestly in the cup: soft, soothing, and clear, as if brushing a thin layer of summer light over the infusion.
In hot water, corn silk unfolds slowly into a pale golden, soft infusion. The taste remains airy and straw-like, with a mild sweetness that never overpowers. The herb brings an even structure that binds sharp, fresh, or floral tones in a friendly way. This creates a blend that feels calmer, rounder, and more connected, as if corn silk draws a quiet background color through the whole.
