Organic Black Walnut Leaf – Dried Herbal Tea Cut | Juglans nigra | Caffeine-Free Digestive & Skin Support

Earthy and grounding, these hand-harvested organic black walnut leaves are used in teas, salves, and traditional cleansing remedies.

Herbal Overview

Nestled beneath the wide boughs of mature black walnut trees, these leaves are hand-harvested at their peak and gently dried to preserve their earthy scent and herbal strength. Known for their grounding properties and rich history in folk medicine, black walnut leaves offer gentle support for digestion, skin clarity, and internal cleansing.

Though often overshadowed by the hull and nut, the leaf itself carries quiet power, ideal for simple teas or herbal infusions. When steeped, it yields a robust, slightly bitter flavor with subtle earthy undertones. A touch of honey balances it beautifully, and peppermint makes a perfect companion for those new to its deeper notes.

Used topically, black walnut leaf is found in salves and rinses aimed at supporting healthy skin. Inside and out, it’s a humble, steady plant ally with deep roots in North American herbalism.
