French Name: Feuilles d’Ortie Blanche Coupées
Also Known As: Lamium Album Leaves, White Dead Nettle
Part Used: Leaves of Lamium album
Description: White Nettle Leaves C/S is prepared from the leaves of Lamium album, a perennial herb native to Europe and parts of Asia, often found in temperate regions along hedgerows and forest edges. The plant typically grows 30–60 centimetres tall, producing square stems, opposite toothed leaves, and clusters of small, tubular white flowers during spring and summer. Leaves are harvested when fully developed and vibrant in colour, ensuring consistent texture and botanical quality.
After harvesting, the leaves are carefully cleaned to remove dust, soil, and other debris. Drying is performed using controlled air or low-temperature methods to preserve the natural pale green colour, shape, and delicate leaf structure. Once dried, the leaves are cut and sifted into uniform fragments, producing lightweight, free-flowing pieces with visible leaf sections. This process maintains the botanical integrity of Lamium album while creating a consistent cut suitable for blending, infusion, and decorative use.
The finished White Nettle Leaves C/S displays a soft pale green colour with slightly fibrous leaf fragments and a crisp texture. The pieces remain stable during storage, retaining their appearance and subtle natural aroma over time. The cut and sifted format allows for easy handling, accurate measuring, and uniform blending for various applications.
Uses: White Nettle Leaves C/S is commonly used in tea-style infusions, herbal blends, and beverage preparations where dried leaf material is preferred. It is also suitable for cosmetic formulations, bath products, botanical sachets, craft projects, and educational collections demonstrating leaf 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 leaf fragments.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place in a sealed container.
