WILDFIELD HERBS Gentian Root Dried Herbal Tea 4 oz (113 g) — 100% Gentiana lutea, strong bitter flavor

WILDFIELD HERBS 4 oz Gentian Root is a pure, dried Gentiana lutea root sold loose for infusion, culinary use, or herbal blending.

Harvested in Europe and hand-sealed for freshness, this 113 g package contains whole, dried gentian root prepared under hygienic conditions. The root is known for its intensely bitter, aromatic profile and is supplied as a single-ingredient product so you can control strength and pairing when steeping or incorporating into tonics and recipes.

How does this gentian root taste and how strong is it?

The flavor is distinctly bitter with earthy, woody undertones and a floral background typical of Gentiana lutea. Even a small amount produces a pronounced bitter note, so many users prefer short steep times or low root-to-water ratios when making tea.

• Bitter profile: strong and immediate; start with 0.5–1 g per cup.
• Aroma: woody and slightly floral, adding complexity to blends.
• Intensity control: steep briefly or dilute with other herbs to moderate bitterness.

What are practical ways to prepare and use this dried root?

You can steep small pieces of the root as an herbal infusion, make a decoction for a deeper extraction, or add shavings to culinary recipes and bitters. Use a fine strainer or muslin to keep root fragments out of the final liquid.

• Infusion: steep 5–10 minutes in hot water for a milder cup.
• Decoction: simmer 5–20 minutes for a stronger extraction.
• Culinary: include grated or chopped root in syrups, bitters, or marinades.

How should I store this gentian root to keep it fresh?

WILDFIELD HERBS packages the root in a hermetically sealed box to preserve aroma and potency; transfer to an airtight container away from heat, light, and moisture after opening. Proper storage keeps the root dry and prevents loss of fragrance and flavor over time.

• Keep in a cool, dark place away from humidity.
• Use an airtight jar or reseal the original packaging tightly.
• Label with purchase/open date and use within 12–24 months for best aroma.
