Description: Mullein is a biennial or short-lived perennial herb native to Europe, North Africa, and parts of Asia, and it has been widely introduced to North America and other temperate regions. The plant grows 1–2.5 metres tall, beginning as a basal rosette of large, velvety leaves in the first year, followed by an erect flowering stem in the second year. The leaves are broadly ovate to lanceolate, densely covered with fine white hairs giving a soft, velvety texture, medium to light green on top, and silvery-white underneath. Mature leaves are harvested at peak growth to preserve natural colour, texture, and structural integrity before processing.

Fresh Mullein leaves are soft, pliable, and slightly aromatic with a mild earthy scent. They are robust yet lightweight, with fine hairs that give the leaves a characteristic velvety feel. Once harvested, the leaves are cleaned thoroughly to remove dust, debris, and coarse stems. Drying is carried out under controlled low-temperature conditions to maintain the green colour, soft texture, and visible leaf hairs while preventing discoloration or brittleness. This ensures that the leaves retain their identifiable features while preparing them for milling.

After drying, the leaves are milled into a fine, uniform powder and sieved to remove coarse fragments. The powder retains the natural green colour and soft velvety characteristics of the leaves in a convenient, free-flowing form. Controlled milling ensures smooth texture and uniformity while preserving the botanical identity of Mullein, allowing the powder to be blended or incorporated into various applications without losing its distinctive leaf origin.

Mullein grows in well-drained soils, open fields, meadows, and disturbed areas, preferring full sunlight. It is hardy and adaptable to a wide range of soil types, including sandy and loamy soils. Leaves can be harvested multiple times during the growing season if proper care is taken to preserve plant health. The powder is derived from high-quality, mature leaves, ensuring a uniform, consistent product suitable for storage, blending, and use in multiple applications.

Uses: Mullein Leaves Powder is used in tea-style infusions, herbal and botanical blends, culinary preparations such as dry herb mixes or seasoning, craft projects, cosmetic formulations, decorative displays, and educational herb collections. Its fine, free-flowing texture allows for even dispersion in infusions, dry mixes, and cosmetic formulations. The natural green colour and subtle aroma provide aesthetic appeal and authenticity in blends, while retaining the identifiable characteristics of Mullein leaves. The powder is ideal for infusions, dry blends, visual decorative applications, and educational purposes where leaf morphology and botanical features need to be demonstrated. Its uniformity and smooth texture ensure easy handling, blending, and storage for all applications.
