Papa Luna herbal tea
Papa Luna's Tisane is a medieval medicinal recipe arising from the ancient Mediterranean pharmacological tradition. The original formula corresponds to a preparation of medicinal herbs popularized by Pope Benedict XIII from his papal see of Peñíscola, during his stay between 1411 and 1423.
It is not surprising that Benedict XIII, known as Papa Luna, suffered from stress, headaches or stomach ailments and resorted to the Tisane that bears his name to alleviate his discomfort. The situation of the Catholic Church during his mandate was no wonder. With an absolute division, Pope Luna was the undisputed protagonist of the Western Schism and had to face all the de facto powers of Europe.
The medicinal concoction is considered a classic and traditional Valencian remedy, which was prescribed during the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries as a proven effective remedy to avoid flatus, headaches, stressful tensions, and kidney ailments.
The recipe for Papa Luna's Tisane includes different seeds in exact proportions: coriander, anise, fennel, caraway and cumin seeds, licorice and dittany roots and cinnamon; all components that can be found in the local environment of Peñiscola and in the nearby Serra d'Irta.
Cafés Bo has recovered it so that it can be enjoyed again in all its splendor.
