Mugwort Dried Leaves Loose Herbal Tea

Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) is a perennial herb that belongs to the Asteraceae family. Its leaves are one of its most distinctive features. Here's a description:

• Shape: Mugwort leaves are long and lance-shaped, often ranging from 3 to 10 inches in length. The edges are deeply serrated or pinnate (feather-like), giving them a jagged or irregular appearance.

• Color: The upper side of the leaf is a dark green, while the underside is a pale, silvery-white or grayish color, often with fine hairs that give it a soft texture. This contrast in color is especially noticeable when the leaves are viewed from the side.

• Texture: The upper surface is slightly rough and glossy, while the underside is more silvery and covered with fine, soft hairs.

• Scent: When bruised or crushed, the leaves release a strong, aromatic scent that is often described as a blend of sage, eucalyptus, and camphor.

• Veins: The leaves are veined, with the veins on the underside being particularly noticeable, adding to the leaf's silvery appearance.
