Que repartan tilas

Can someone explain what this means

"Tila" is a flower wich drank in an infusion calms the nerves. I suppose the context is there are many people too nervous and they need something to relax, so everyone needs a tea made with that flower.

Of course. I know tila as tilo and that's what confused me.

Is this the lime tree (tilia) The German Linden rather than the flower of the lime fruit tree?

It's the flower to the linden tree. It's a popular beverage in Latin America
used for it mild calming effect. The flavor isn't bad. It reminds me of watered-down chamomile tea.

@Brute: This isn't a citrus tree. I think Poli is right about "linden tree". It looks very similar to the "tila" I've seen here.
Btw... Orange tree flower ("azahar" in Spanish) can also be used in tea for its calming effect as well. Many people drink it combined with "tila" when they're going through specially stressing situations. :)

@Poli: The effect is not necessarily mild, but it depends on how sensitive the person who drinks it is, and the taste is usually stronger and more aromatic than chamomile. :)

¿el tilo o la tila? en francés - le tilleuil. My favourite herbal tea is Redbush (Rooibos) from S Africa!

@Brute: el género es una cuestión regional. En México es tila.

@ookami: con magdalena y Proust? ;)

[ookami]

Sí, de dulce de leche de preferencia :D. Me hiciste acordar que tengo que leer alguna vez a Proust.. en mi infancia había un libro en la biblioteca de mi madre que se titulaba: "Como mejorar su vida con Proust" o algo así; lo había empezado a leer y me repugno esa autoayuda barata y desde entonce asocio ese libro con Proust.

*apéndice I: entendí la relación de la magadelan el té y Proust. Google querido.

*apéndice II: :P En verdad no tomo té de tilo para dormir, no tengo -aún- dificultades para conciliar el sueño, en principio, porque me acuesto cuando no doy más:rolleyes:

*apéndice III: en cualquier momento termino en el hospital por una apendicitis sujestiva.

@ookami: :D A la Búsqueda del Tiempo Perdido es exactamente eso. ;)
