Heather Leaf
Heather Leaf (Calluna vulgaris) is a medicinal herb naturally found in the mountainous and forested regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Known for its mildly woody aroma and tannin-rich profile, heather leaf has long been used in traditional medicine, particularly for its diuretic properties and support for urinary tract health.
At Tuna Spice, we harvest heather leaves responsibly from wild, controlled environments. After drying, cleaning, and sieving, we offer various quality grades to suit different applications.
