Organic Wormwood Tea

In the Know
The ornamental leaves of wormwood are the source of Wormwood Tea, a bitter herbal beverage first introduced by herbalists in the 16th century. Wormwood is a perennial plant commonly found in temperate regions across Asia, Europe and northern Africa. It belongs to the Artemisia family, along with sage and mugwort. Although it is most often used today as an ornamental plant in landscaping, it was traditionally used in a variety of beverages. Historically, wormwood was used to provide flavor to alcoholic beverages, including beer and absinthe. NOTE: This tea is very strong and bitter, and is generally not recommended for purely recreational drinking.
 
Positive Qualities of Wormwood Tea

Those who take an interest in Wormwood Tea, however, will find that this tisane has several good qualities to offer. The wormwood herb is a natural source of vitamin C and vitamin B complex. It also contains various constituents, including flavonoids, phenolic acid, beta carotene, and chlorogenic acid.
