I think that linden is the common word in N. America and lime in Britain for my Tilia trees.

I have three big trees full of flowers and the scent outside my home is marvelous. The honey bees make party in the trees this month and they ‘re so friendly. I can harvest the tea without… bee-problems.

Here in Greece we don’t drink tea so often and never in summer, we prefer frozen coffee. But we drink tea in winter, mostly when we have cough and feel bad.

We plant these trees in the street when I was child and I love them for the spring aroma and the summer shadow mostly.
