Thull
Thull is a species of low growing shrub found in the north of Tinturbean. Both the green leaf and black leaf varieties favour shadowed valleys in the hills, sheltered from the salt laden breezes that blow over the coastal cliffs.
They are pollinated by a species of flying nocturnal insect known as a corpse moth.

Additional Information
Uses, Products & Exploitation
The leaf of the thull bush, is used to make an infusion that bears the same name as the plant. Thull is a popular and relatively cheap drink in northern Tinturbean, consumed frequently in Quarowl, Arvolun, Yendle, Elmbank, Appunhold and Greystow.
Despite its local popularity, thull has never gained wider acceptance. In the rest of the world, the flavour is considered too astringent and far inferior to cryne. Having a taste for thull is a reliable indicator that an individual was born and brought up in northern Tinturbean.
