Discover the distinctive character of Safflower Tea (Carthamus tinctorius), a naturally colourful botanical infusion crafted from carefully selected safflower flowers.
Known for its brilliant yellow, orange and red flowers, safflower has a long history of cultivation and traditional use across Asia, the Middle East and other regions. Its flowers have traditionally been valued for culinary, colouring and herbal purposes.
At Krittiya Garden, we bring this traditional botanical into modern everyday life through careful ingredient selection and convenient individual tea bags.
Safflower, Not True Saffron
Safflower is sometimes known by traditional names such as American Saffron, False Saffron or Dyer’s Saffron because of the vivid colour of its flower petals.
However, safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) and true saffron (Crocus sativus) are different plants.
Krittiya Garden uses the name Safflower Tea to make this botanical identity clear and transparent for our customers.
What Does Safflower Tea Taste Like?
Safflower Tea offers a light, herbaceous and gently earthy botanical character, accompanied by an attractive naturally golden infusion.
It can be enjoyed on its own or with a little honey according to personal preference.
Because safflower is an herbal infusion rather than conventional tea made from Camellia sinensis, it provides a naturally caffeine-free alternative for your everyday tea ritual.
A Botanical with a Long Tradition
Safflower has been cultivated for centuries for its colourful flowers, seeds and oil.
Modern research has identified numerous naturally occurring compounds in safflower, including flavonoids, alkaloids, polyacetylenes and polysaccharides. The flowers are particularly associated with naturally occurring pigments and flavonoid compounds.
Research continues to investigate these compounds and their biological properties. However, findings from laboratory studies, extracts or pharmaceutical preparations should not automatically be interpreted as evidence that an ordinary cup of safflower tea can prevent or treat disease.
At Krittiya Garden, we believe botanical knowledge should be shared responsibly.

These safflower petals are vibrant and fragrant. I’ve used them in tea and some rice dishes, and they add a nice color and a mild, earthy taste. They seem very fresh and there are no unwanted pieces or debris. I’m happy with the quality and will be ordering again once I run out.

What is Safflower Tea? Safflower Tea is a herbal infusion prepared from safflower (Carthamus tinctorius), a thistle-like flowering plant known for its yellow, orange and red flowers. Safflower has a long history of use for culinary, colouring and traditional herbal purposes.
Is Safflower the same as Saffron? No. Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) and true saffron (Crocus sativus) are different plants. Safflower has historically been called names such as false saffron or American saffron because of its colourful petals, but it should not be confused with genuine saffron.
Why is this product called American Saffron? “American Saffron” is one of the names sometimes associated with safflower. Krittiya Garden identifies the botanical as Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) so customers can clearly understand which plant the product contains.
What ingredients are in Krittiya Garden Safflower Tea? The product is made from safflower flowers. If your final formulation is 100% safflower, the ingredient declaration can state “100% Safflower Flowers (Carthamus tinctorius).”
Does Safflower Tea contain caffeine? Safflower itself does not naturally contain caffeine like conventional tea from Camellia sinensis, making a pure safflower infusion naturally caffeine-free.
What does Safflower Tea taste like? It has a light, herbaceous and gently earthy botanical character. Brewing strength can be adjusted according to personal preference.
What colour is Safflower Tea? When infused, safflower flowers can produce an attractive yellow-to-golden botanical infusion. Safflower flowers have historically also been valued for their natural pigments.
How do I prepare Safflower Tea? Place one tea bag into approximately 200–250 ml of hot water and steep for 3–5 minutes. Adjust the brewing time according to your preferred strength.
Can Safflower Tea be served cold? Yes. Prepare it slightly stronger than usual, allow it to cool and serve over ice.
How many tea bags are included in one pack? Each pack contains 60 individual tea bags.
What natural compounds are found in safflower? Scientific research has identified numerous phytochemicals in Carthamus tinctorius, particularly flavonoids, as well as alkaloids, polyacetylenes and polysaccharides. Research into their biological activities continues.
Does Safflower Tea improve blood circulation? Safflower has a history of traditional medicinal use associated with circulation, and extracts or isolated constituents have been investigated scientifically, including for effects involving coagulation and platelet activity. However, this does not establish that an ordinary cup of Krittiya Garden Safflower Tea treats circulation disorders.
Does Safflower Tea contain antioxidants? Safflower flowers contain naturally occurring compounds, including flavonoids, that have demonstrated antioxidant activity in experimental research. However, the composition and activity of a brewed cup can differ from concentrated extracts used in studies.
Can I drink Safflower Tea during pregnancy? I would not recommend marketing this product for use during pregnancy. Published reviews report reproductive concerns from animal studies involving safflower preparations, and one review specifically notes recommendations to avoid Carthamus flowers during pregnancy. Pregnant customers should consult an appropriate healthcare professional before use.
Should I consult a healthcare professional before drinking Safflower Tea? People who are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking medication, have a bleeding or clotting condition, or are preparing for surgery should seek professional advice before using safflower regularly for a health purpose. Experimental literature has reported effects of safflower extracts on platelet aggregation and coagulation, although this evidence should not be assumed to represent the effect of an ordinary cup of tea.
Is Krittiya Garden Safflower Tea a medicine? No. Krittiya Garden Safflower Tea is offered as a herbal beverage, not as a product intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease.
