Botanical Name: Gaultheria procumbens
Country of Origin: India
English Name: Wintergreen Leaves C/S
French Name: Feuilles de Gaulthérie Coupées
Also Known As: Gaultheria Leaves
Part Used: Leaves of Gaultheria procumbens
Description: Wintergreen Leaves C/S is prepared from the leaves of Gaultheria procumbens, a low-growing, evergreen shrub native to North America, particularly found in the temperate forests of the northeastern United States and Canada. The plant typically grows 10–30 centimetres tall, forming dense mats of small, glossy green leaves. In spring, it produces delicate white to pink bell-shaped flowers, followed by bright red berries in summer. Leaves are harvested when fully mature to capture their vibrant green colour, aromatic quality, and botanical consistency.
After harvesting, the leaves are carefully cleaned to remove dust, soil, and natural debris. Drying is performed using controlled air or low-temperature methods to preserve their natural green colour, texture, and aroma. 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 identity of Gaultheria procumbens while creating a consistent cut suitable for infusion, blending, and aromatic preparations.
The finished Wintergreen Leaves C/S displays a soft, vibrant green colour with thin leaf fragments and a crisp texture. The pieces remain stable during storage, retaining their visual identity and characteristic sweet, minty aroma. The cut and sifted format allows for easy handling, accurate measuring, and uniform blending for various applications.
Uses: Wintergreen Leaves C/S is commonly used in tea-style infusions, herbal blends, and aromatic 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 evergreen plant 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, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
