Costmary Herb – Tanacetum balsamita

Traditional aromatic herb for food and tea.

Costmary, also known as balsam tansy, is a traditional aromatic herb valued for centuries in European and Mediterranean herbal and culinary traditions. It has a distinctive balsamic, slightly bitter aroma with warm, camphor-like notes and is commonly used in herbal teas and traditional recipes. Historically appreciated for supporting digestion and overall balance, costmary is also prized for its pleasant fragrance and versatility in the kitchen.

This herb is widely used to season beans, lentils, green vegetables, and meat dishes, pairing especially well with parsley and lovage. Suitable for tea infusions and culinary use, it is carefully hand-filled in small batches and packed in a kraft pouch to preserve freshness and aroma.
