Hyssop Dried Leaves & Stems – Hyssopus Officinalis

Latin Name: Hyssopus Officinalis

Origin Country: Poland

Hyssopus officinalis L., commonly known as Hyssop, is a perennial aromatic herb belonging to the Lamiaceae (mint) family. Native to Southern Europe and parts of Western Asia, this traditional medicinal plant has been cultivated for centuries for both culinary and herbal applications. This dried Hyssop is carefully sourced from Poland, where it is traditionally harvested during the flowering period to preserve its aromatic and phytochemical profile.

Hyssop is characterized by its upright growth, narrow green leaves, and spikes of small blue to violet flowers. The plant has a strong, slightly sweet, camphor-like aroma with a warm, bitter, and herbaceous taste. Traditionally, the aerial parts are used in herbal infusions and have long been valued in European herbalism for supporting respiratory and digestive wellness.
