Botanical Name: Lysimachia christinae Hance
Country Of Origin: China
English Name: Gold Coin Grass Herb C/S
French Name: Herbe de Pièce d’Or Coupée
Also Known As: Lysimachia Herb, Jin Qian Cao
Part Used: Aerial parts (leaves and tender stems) of Lysimachia christinae Hance
Description: Gold Coin Grass Herb C/S is prepared from the aerial parts of Lysimachia christinae Hance, a low-growing perennial herb native to East Asia and widely cultivated in temperate regions. The plant develops creeping stems with small, round to oval green leaves arranged alternately along the runners. During the growing season, small yellow flowers may appear at the leaf axils, adding visual character to the plant. Harvesting takes place when the foliage is fully developed to ensure consistent colour, texture, and botanical quality.
After harvesting, the aerial parts are carefully cleaned to remove soil and natural debris. Drying is performed using controlled air or low-temperature methods to preserve the natural green colour and delicate structure of the leaves and stems. Once dried, the material is cut and sifted into uniform fragments, producing lightweight, free-flowing pieces with visible leaf sections and fine stem portions. This process maintains the botanical identity of Lysimachia christinae Hance while creating a consistent cut suitable for blending and infusion.
The finished Gold Coin Grass Herb C/S displays a soft green to light brown colour with small, rounded leaf fragments and thin stems. 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: Gold Coin Grass Herb C/S is commonly used in tea-style infusions, herbal blends, and botanical preparations where dried aerial plant material is preferred. It is also suitable for cosmetic formulations, bath products, botanical sachets, craft projects, natural colouring applications, and educational collections demonstrating creeping herb morphology and leaf arrangement. 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 plant fragments.
Storage:Store in a cool, dry place in a sealed container.
