What is Ginkgo Biloba Leaf?

Ginkgo Biloba Leaf consists of carefully collected leaves from the Ginkgo biloba L. tree, easily recognizable by its distinctive fan-shaped form. This ancient species has been appreciated for centuries in herbal traditions for its aromatic qualities and inclusion in traditional herbal collections.

Once dried, the leaves maintain a natural green colour and slightly leathery texture. They are lightly cut to facilitate infusions and herbal preparations while preserving structural integrity. This allows the leaves to release their aroma gradually, producing a mild, earthy character suitable for both single-herb and blended herbal infusions.

The subtle aroma and flavour of Ginkgo leaves make them a versatile ingredient for teas, cordials, and mild culinary applications. Their texture ensures that steeping releases the characteristic scent and taste efficiently, allowing for longer brewing times and richer aromatic profiles.

Historical and Cultural Significance

Ginkgo Biloba Leaf has a long history in herbal traditions across Europe and Asia. Traditionally, Ginkgo Biloba leaves were harvested in late summer or early autumn, when their aromatic qualities were at their peak. The leaves are dried and cut after collection, preserving their natural structure, aroma, and flavour for year-round use in infusions, herbal blends, and flavouring preparations.

Historically, Ginkgo leaves were appreciated for their unique fan-shaped appearance and subtle earthy taste. In European herbal traditions, they were incorporated into layered botanical blends and herbal collections. Asian herbal practices also recognized Ginkgo as a classic botanical, often including it in gentle teas, aromatic infusions, and flavouring mixtures.

Herbalists combined Ginkgo Biloba Leaf with other complementary botanicals to produce complex infusions, and mild flavouring teas, maintaining a balance of aroma, flavour, and visual appeal. Its firm structure and mild earthy character allowed for long steeping times, making it a reliable component in herbal collections and daily tea rituals.
