🌿 Usnea (Usnea barbata) is bitter, neutral, cooling, drying and tonifying with a mild sweetness, in terms of taste quality. It has a slightly powdery texture when taken as a tea or tincture. A good quality extract will usefully be orange in colour, indicative of high levels of usnic acid, one of its primary constituents.
This orange colour has been used in the making of natural dyes.
