Wormwood Tea is 100% Pure Wormwood Leaf and upper plant stalk. This mysterious herb has a reputation heavily connected to artists and French Bohemia of the 19th Century. Before this, Wormwood fascinated the Greeks and was used extensively in European Herbalism. Wormwood Tea is extremely bitter and is not thought of as a tea to be sipped as a comforter. It is important to note that Wormwood Tea should only be taken in small quantites with large breaks taken before drinking it again. For the best advice on Wormwood Tea please consult a Medical Herbalist.

Since wormwood contains thujone, a chemical similar to tetratetrahydrocannibinol (THC) which is found in cannabis, the FDA has placed wormwood in the unsafe category. It has been reported that thujone may cause nerve damage and other side effects. Do not take if you are pregnant. Take only in small doses and for no more than 4-5 weeks at a stretch. Consult with a healthcare professional or doctor of herbal medicine.
Wormwood Tea is made from the very best examples of Artemisia absinthum leaves dried and cut for loose leaf tea. This process is generally a simple one where the leaves are harvested and selected for quality before they are dried in shade. When nearly all of the moisture has evaporated from the leaves there is another selection process before they are cut to size for loose leaf tea. The Wormwood Tea is then tested for foreign chemical profiles before being shipped.
