Botanical Name: Castanea vesca folia
Country of Origin: Northern Hemisphere.
English Name: Chestnut Leaves C/S
French Name: Feuilles de Châtaignier Coupées
Also Known As: Sweet Chestnut Leaves
Part Used: Leaves of Castanea vesca folia
Description: Chestnut Leaves C/S is prepared from the leaves of Castanea vesca folia, a deciduous tree native to Europe and widely cultivated in temperate regions. The tree typically grows between 20 and 30 metres tall, developing a broad, spreading canopy with long, lance-shaped, dark green leaves that have finely serrated edges. Leaves are harvested during the growing season when fully mature to ensure consistent colour, texture, and botanical quality.
After harvesting, the leaves are carefully cleaned to remove dust, soil, and natural debris. Drying is performed using controlled air or low-temperature methods to preserve the natural green colour and leaf structure. Once dried, the leaves are cut and sifted into uniform fragments, producing lightweight, free-flowing pieces with visible leaf sections and minimal stem portions. This process maintains the botanical identity of Castanea vesca folia while creating a consistent cut suitable for blending and infusion.
The finished Chestnut Leaves C/S displays a rich green to light brown colour with crisp, thin leaf fragments. The material remains stable during storage, retaining its visual identity and mild herbaceous aroma. The cut and sifted format allows for easy handling, accurate measuring, and uniform blending across applications.
Uses: Chestnut Leaves C/S is commonly used in tea-style infusions, herbal blends, and botanical preparations where dried leaf material is preferred. It is also suitable for cosmetic formulations, bath products, botanical sachets, craft projects, natural colouring applications, and educational collections demonstrating deciduous tree leaf morphology. The cut and sifted format allows for precise portioning, easy blending with other botanicals, and versatile use in both home and professional environments, offering consistent quality and visually identifiable leaf fragments.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
