Botanical Name: Prunus persica

Origin: China

English Name: Peach Leaves C/S

Also Known As: Prunus persica Leaves C/S, Peach Tree Leaves, Dried Peach Leaf, Peach Foliage, Peach Leaf Pieces

Part Used: Leaves of the plant, Prunus persica

Description: Peach Leaves C/S is prepared from the mature leaves of Prunus persica, a deciduous fruit tree in the Rosaceae family, native to China and widely cultivated in temperate regions worldwide. The tree grows as a medium-sized tree with a spreading canopy, slender branches, and lance-shaped, glossy green leaves that taper to a point. Peach trees produce delicate pink to white blossoms in spring before leaf expansion, followed by the development of smooth, oval fruits with velvety skin during summer. Leaves used for C/S material are harvested when fully grown, healthy, and free from damage, capturing the plant’s natural shape, colour, and structural integrity.

Harvesting occurs during the active growing season when leaves are mature and vibrant green. Fresh leaves are thin, smooth, and slightly serrated along the edges. They are collected carefully to preserve their size and intact surface. Seasonal timing is important to maintain consistency in colour and texture, and only fully developed leaves are selected to ensure uniformity in the final dried product.

After harvesting, the leaves are cleaned to remove stems, dust, and other debris. The plant material is then dried using controlled low-temperature or air-drying methods to maintain the natural green hue and prevent brittleness. Once dried, the leaves are cut and sifted into a consistent C/S format, producing lightweight, slightly crisp pieces that retain the leaf’s characteristic shape and veining. This processing preserves the natural appearance and aromatic profile of the peach leaves while creating a stable, durable ingredient.

The finished Peach Leaves C/S is visually uniform, with pieces ranging in size but maintaining identifiable leaf fragments. The colour ranges from deep green to slightly olive-brown, reflecting the natural drying process. The cut-sifted format allows for easy handling, blending, and infusion, making it suitable for applications where visible leaf texture is preferred.

Uses: Peach Leaves C/S is commonly used in tea-style infusions and botanical blends where visible leaf fragments are desirable. It is suitable for inclusion in culinary preparations, such as garnishes, flavouring infusions, or decorative additions to desserts and beverages. The cut leaves are also used in crafting projects, potpourri blends, and visual displays that highlight natural leaf texture and shape. Additionally, Peach Leaves C/S is ideal for educational and botanical reference collections where the morphology, venation, and structure of Prunus persica leaves are demonstrated. The product’s natural colour, texture, and form make it a versatile ingredient across culinary, creative, and decorative applications.

Storage: Strain and store in a cool dark place.
