Bees and I share a love of Anise Hyssop (Agastache foeniculum), which is also called Licorice Mint, Korean Mint/huo xiang, Giant Blue Hyssop, and Patchouli Mint to name a few. These names point to some of the qualities of this plant, as well as the valued use in Traditional and Classical Chinese Medicine. Both the leaves and the flowers of Anise hyssop can be used fresh or dried. With a natural sweetness and a mild anise flavor, it’s best harvested while in flower, and dries readily for teas and other preparations.
