Wormwood Herb Cut is the dried cut aerial parts of Artemisia absinthium , a classic bitter herb with a pungent, herbaceous aroma and distinctly bitter taste. It is traditionally used in digestive preparations, appetite-support routines, tinctures, bitters, herbal liqueur bases, vinegars and oxymels. Wormwood also has a long history of use in parasite-focused herbal routines and feverish seasonal comfort, but it is a potent herb that should be used sparingly and not continuously. The cut format is suitable for controlled teas, tinctures and external washes where careful preparation is followed.
♡ Why we love it: Wormwood is a true old-world bitter with a clean aromatic edge. It is useful where a strong bitter profile is wanted in digestive cups, homemade bitters and traditional herbal preparations.
