Wormwood Herb C/S

Botanical Name: Artemisia absinthium

Country of Origin: Mexico

English Name: Wormwood Herb C/S

French Name: Absinthe Coupée

Also Known As: Common Wormwood

Part Used: Aerial parts (leaves, stems, and flowering tops) of Artemisia absinthium

Description: Wormwood Herb C/S is prepared from the aerial parts of Artemisia absinthium, a hardy perennial plant native to Europe and western Asia and widely cultivated in temperate regions worldwide. The plant typically grows between 60 and 120 centimetres tall, forming upright, branching stems covered in fine silvery-grey hairs. Its deeply divided, soft-textured leaves display a distinctive grey-green colour, giving the plant a velvety appearance. During mid to late summer, small pale yellow flower heads develop in loose clusters along the upper stems. Harvesting takes place when the herb reaches full growth to ensure consistent colour, texture, and botanical quality.

After harvesting, the herb is carefully cleaned to remove natural debris. Drying is performed using controlled air or low-temperature methods to preserve the silvery-green tones and delicate plant structure. Once dried, the 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 identity of Artemisia absinthium while creating a consistent cut suitable for blending and infusion.

The finished Wormwood Herb C/S displays a soft grey green to light brown colour with mixed leaf and stem pieces and a crisp texture. The material remains stable during storage, retaining its natural appearance and mild herbaceous aroma. The cut and sifted format allows for easy handling, accurate measuring, and uniform blending across applications.

Uses: Wormwood Herb C/S is commonly used in tea-style infusions, herbal blends, and botanical preparations where dried aerial plant material is preferred. It is also suitable for cosmetic formulations, bath products, botanical sachets, craft projects, natural colouring applications, and educational collections demonstrating perennial herb morphology and flowering plant structure. 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 plant fragments.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
