Dried Eucalyptus Leaves Cut and Sifted 2 oz (Hojas de Eucalipto) for Eucalyptus Tea

Each bag contains 2 oz of organic or wildcrafted dried eucalyptus leaves from Mexico, known as eucalipto in Spanish (hojas de eucalipto). Cut and sifted eucalyptus leaves with a fresh, minty, pine aroma, a favorite for eucalyptus tea and for their invigorating scent.

What is actually in the bag
Cut and sifted dried leaves of Eucalyptus globulus, 2 oz, loose in the bag. Not branches, not stems and not fresh greenery. The leaf is cut into small pieces and sifted, so it measures out evenly by the teaspoon, steeps quickly, and drops straight into an infuser or a muslin bag with no tearing or crumbling first. A 2 oz bag goes a very long way compared with a fresh bunch that is spent in two weeks.

How to store them
Tightly closed in a dry place at room temperature, 59 to 86°F (15 to 30°C), as printed on the bag.

Frequently asked questions

How do you use eucalyptus in the shower?
Put a small handful of the cut leaf into a muslin bag or a tied cloth and hang it from your shower head, away from the direct water stream. The steam warms the leaves and releases their fresh aroma while you shower. A bowl of hot water on the counter does the same thing.

How do you make eucalyptus tea?
Add 1 teaspoon of dried eucalyptus leaves to 8 fl oz of boiling water. Cover and steep 5 to 10 minutes, then strain.

Can you drink eucalyptus tea?
The dried leaf has been brewed as a tea traditionally, in small amounts. Use it in moderation, and note that eucalyptus essential oil is not for drinking. If you are unsure, ask your doctor first.

What does eucalyptus smell and taste like?
Bright, fresh and cooling, with a clean pine and mint aroma. The scent is the main event, which is why so many people use it for the steam.

What is this, and what is in it?
These are cut and sifted dried leaves of the eucalyptus tree, called eucalipto in Spanish. This bag is one ingredient: organic or wildcrafted dried eucalyptus leaves from Mexico, nothing added.

¿Qué es el eucalipto?
El eucalipto es el árbol de hojas aromáticas usadas por su fragancia fresca. Muchas personas ponen un puñado de hojas de eucalipto en una bolsita de tela y la cuelgan en la regadera para disfrutar el aroma con el vapor. Nuestra bolsa trae hojas de eucalipto orgánicas o silvestres de México, cortadas y cernidas, un solo ingrediente.

Is this fresh eucalyptus, or branches for the shower?
Neither. This is 2 oz of cut and sifted dried leaves. If you were looking for a fresh bunch to hang in the bathroom, the dried leaf does the same job for the steam once you put a handful in a muslin bag or a tied cloth, and it keeps its scent for months rather than weeks. What it will not do is look like a bouquet.
