Botanical name: Tanacetum Vulgare
Origin: Hungary
English Name: Tansy Herb C/S
French Name: Tanaisie Coupée
Also Known As: Common Tansy, Golden Buttons Herb
Part Used: Aerial parts (leaves, stems, and flowering tops) of Tanacetum vulgare
Description: Tansy Herb C/S is produced from the aerial parts of Tanacetum vulgare, a hardy perennial plant native to Europe and Western Asia and now naturalised across North America. The plant typically grows between 60 and 150 centimetres tall, forming upright stems with deeply divided, fern-like green leaves. During mid to late summer, clusters of small, round, button-shaped yellow flowers appear at the tops of the stems, creating dense floral heads that are easily recognisable. Harvesting takes place when both foliage and flowers are fully matured, ensuring uniform colour and botanical integrity.
After harvesting, the plant material is gently cleaned to remove soil and natural debris. Drying is done using controlled air or low-temperature methods to preserve the natural green foliage and golden flower colour. When its fully dried, the herb is cut and sifted into uniform fragments, producing lightweight, free-flowing pieces with visible leaf segments, stem sections, and flower parts. This processing method maintains the botanical identity of Tanacetum vulgare while providing a consistent cut suitable for blending and infusion.
The finished Tansy Herb C/S displays a natural mix of green leaf pieces, pale stems, and yellow floral elements. The texture is slightly fibrous with aromatic plant fragments that remain stable during storage. The cut and sifted format supports easy handling, accurate measuring, and uniform blending while preserving the recognizable structure of the original herb.
Uses: Tansy Herb C/S is commonly used in tea-style infusions, herbal blends, and botanical formulations where visible aerial plant fragments are desired. It is also suitable for cosmetic and bath products, botanical sachets, decorative crafts, and educational plant collections demonstrating leaf and flower structure. The cut and sifted format allows for precise portioning, easy blending with other botanicals, and versatile use in both home and professional environments. Its natural colour variation and intact plant components make it useful for display purposes as well as formulation projects requiring consistent botanical texture and appearance.
Storage: Store dried tansy in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
