Wormwood Herb Wildcrafted Cut & Sifted - Artemisia absinthium, 1 lb,(Starwest Botanicals)

Very good product and delivery on time

Okay...bag was way larger than anticipated...score! I have a fine strainer, so after I followed the instructions for brewing, it strained with zero residue...score! It tastes HORRID!! I mean worse than...wait, I can't recall having anything taste worse. Just awful! But, I am going to pinch my nose and drink it. I can't toss it without a fair try. I read other say it was bitter and awful tasting. But I thought they were wimps. Lol. It smells so lovely and sweet. It fooled me. Lol. Anyways. I'm going to roll with it for 2-4 weeks and see what happens. Eek!UPDATE: After 3 days of mixing the tea with the fresh pressed juice of five apples, I am now able to take the tea with nothing mixed in. I just needed to acclimate to the bitterness. It's still bitter, but my taste is more used to it. I'm sure over time it will get even better. I am not cringing to drink it now. Glad I transitioned with the juiced apples.

This is possibly the worst thing intended for human consumption that I have ever tasted. Absolutely horrid!! But it is exactly as advertised. So I give it five stars. If you are looking to drink this stuff, uggggghhhhhh. That was me cringing as I remember the taste. If you are looking to drink this, I suppose this is what you want.So, I take the first drink. "This isn't as bad as I have heard". So I take the second drink, and before the mug touched my lips, the aftertaste hit me. It takes a moment for the heft of the awfulness to reach the brain, but when it does. WOW!!! I did manage to get the whole mug down, and went to bed with a nice 101 fever, but I sweated it out before work the next day. I would have say it's potent stuff. It probably does what it is supposed to do.

Brewed it up as per the instructions and tried this. It was the most ghastly thing I've ever forced down my throat. It literally tastes like poison. It's not wonder at all why it kills intestinal parasites. How anyone could willingly consume this is beyond me. So why the 5 stars? I don't think it's fair to give a poor review unless the product is not what it claims to be. This stuff came in a really nice resealable bag. The quantity was much more than I imagined. Yes, they give weight in the description. But It's hard to gauge exactly what the volume will be with herbs. I was pleasantly surprised at how much there was. It's definitely strong and fresh. So, that's the reason for the 5 stars even though I absolutely hated it and tossed the whole bag in the trash. I can't express how much I hated the taste of this stuff!

The flavor of the wormwood is always bitter. So, it's hard to say which one is better or worse.Lets say that this one is not too horrible as most of the wormwood I have ever bought. LOL. But I like specifically this company herbs because they are always fresh, don't have too much dust on the bottom .And this wormwood is green. I like it. Good quality herb! I use it for treating bad allergies, colds, and bronchitis. Works great!

This product is real wormwood and the desired effects are there. However, this product is FULL of sticks and stems. You will spend a lot of time picking out the hard bits, and I won't be surprised if the sticks and stems make up 2/3rds of the product weight. I would much rather buy a smaller package for more money without all of the crap in it.

The best wormwood (artemisia absinth) I have ever purchased when I came to U.S I am so familiar with wormwood I know its taste and exactly its SMELL! this is Real wormwood fresh and still have its smeal The roots are bitter taste but its what exactly I am looking for the leafs of it are little sweet we used to make tea with it in Morocco Moroccan" Shiba= Wormwood " tea.I ordred this roots fot medical purpose and They ll work cause its the ones I am looking for very satisfied with product and seller as well and its came on time early also not to forget 1 lb was a big surprise its good quantity with good quality.Thank You!

Seller is fine but starkest botanicals seems to have found a way to sell a bag of stems. Fine for someone to make a weak tea or tincture but if you want full parasite killing power, get the powdered herb. Never buying "cut and sifted" ever again.
