{"product_id":"black-walnut-leaves-cut-sifted","title":"Black Walnut Leaves, Cut \u0026 Sifted","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBlack walnut has one of the most distinctive reputations in the North American apothecary — and one of the most polarizing flavors. The leaves of Juglans nigra carry the same bitter, astringent, intensely tannic character as the hull, without quite the same punch. They are not a pleasant tea herb. They are a serious herb, used by serious herbalists for specific purposes, and they have earned their place in the apothecary on merit rather than palatability.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur black walnut leaves are cut and sifted from \u003cem\u003eJuglans nigra\u003c\/em\u003e — dark, dry, and earthy with a strong astringent and bitter character. Best suited to tincturing, encapsulation, or short-term targeted use rather than daily tea drinking. Sourced and packed to order in small batches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA note on taste:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black walnut leaf tea is strongly bitter and astringent — not a daily sipper.
