Wormwood Herb, Cut & Sifted (Artemisia absinthium) | Bulk Dried Grand Wormwood for Bitter Tea, Tinctures & Bitters

Wormwood Herb, Cut & Sifted (Artemisia absinthium) 🌿

Wormwood, also called Grand Wormwood, Absinthe Wormwood, and Green Ginger, is one of the most intensely bitter botanicals in the Western herbal tradition. Our Cut & Sifted leaf and flowering tops carry a sharp, green, unmistakably bitter character with sensory notes of Gentian, Cascara Sagrada, and a faint herbaceous Parsley edge. We harvest in small batches and seal every bag with a resealable zipper so the aromatic oils that give Wormwood its bite stay vivid from the first cup to the last.

For centuries Wormwood has held a storied place in European herbal tradition, where it was prized as a classic bitter tonic and as the defining botanical behind absinthe. Today it is brewed as a bracing herbal tea, tinctured, and folded into homemade digestive bitters, vermouths, and amari, valued for the way a small amount of true bitterness wakes up the palate.

Artemisia absinthium is native to the temperate hillsides of Europe and grows best in dry, sun-soaked, well-drained ground, the conditions it evolved in. We partner with a vetted Albanian farm that specializes in exactly those conditions and grows it right where it flourishes, to the same soil-first, biological standard that defines our own Colorado farm. Every lot we ship receives the same per-batch lab work and the same 100% money-back guarantee as everything we carry.

Why we farm the way we do: we are a soil-first company, and our own farm in Colorado earned a groundbreaking Haney Soil Health Score of 25.4, a number that surpasses the soil biology measured in pristine forest land. We believe healthier soil grows more complex, more potent plants, and that conviction is the reason we hold every herb we carry to the same biological and per-lot testing standards.

Radical transparency is how we earn your trust. Every lot of our Wormwood is backed by a specific Certificate of Analysis verifying purity, potency, and the absence of contaminants, and we publish each batch's results so you can confirm the exact lot in your hands. You can review the full historical COA list on our Wormwood reference article.

It is not suitable for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Those with a seizure disorder are best advised to avoid it. People sensitive to plants in the Asteraceae (daisy) family, such as ragweed, marigold, and chamomile, should take care. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
