Botanical Name: Verbena officinalis
Country of Origin: Bulgaria
English Name: Vervain Herb C/S
French Name: Verveine Officinale Coupée
Also Known As: Common Vervain, Verbena Herb
Part Used: Aerial parts (leaves, stems, and flowering tops) of Verbena officinalis
Description: Vervain Herb C/S is prepared from the aerial parts of Verbena officinalis, a slender perennial plant native to Europe and parts of Asia, and now naturalized in many temperate regions worldwide. The plant typically grows between 30 and 80 centimetres tall, producing upright branching stems with toothed green leaves and small pale lilac to light purple flowers arranged along narrow flowering spikes during summer. Harvesting takes place when the plant is in bloom, ensuring consistent colour, texture, and botanical quality.
After harvesting, the herb is carefully cleaned to remove dust and natural debris. Drying is done using controlled air or low-temperature methods to preserve the natural green tones and delicate structure of the leaves and flowers. Once dried, the plant material is cut and sifted into uniform fragments, producing lightweight, free-flowing pieces with visible leaf sections, fine stems, and occasional flower parts. This process maintains the botanical integrity of Verbena officinalis while creating a consistent cut suitable for blending and infusion.
The finished Vervain Herb C/S displays a muted green colour with thin stems and finely textured leaf fragments. The pieces remain crisp and stable during storage, retaining their visual identity and natural aroma over time. The cut and sifted format allows for easy handling, accurate measuring, and uniform blending for various applications.
Uses: Vervain Herb C/S is commonly used in tea-style infusions, herbal blends, and beverage preparations where dried flowering herb material is preferred. It is also suitable for cosmetic formulations, bath products, botanical sachets, craft projects, and educational collections demonstrating flowering plant morphology and seasonal growth. 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 herb fragments.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
