Botanical Name: Terminalia Chebula Origin: United kingdom Common Name: Harad C/S English Name: Harde Cut & Sifted French Name: Harde Coupée et Tamisée Also Known As: Haritaki Leaves, Chebula Cut Herb, Dried Harde, Terminalia Leaves, Harde Herb C/S Part Used: Leaves of Terminalia chebula Description: Harde, commonly known as Haritaki, is a deciduous tree native to South and Southeast Asia, growing 10–20 metres tall with spreading branches, rough grey bark, and ovate to elliptic green leaves. The tree produces small, yellowish-green flowers during the dry season, followed by the formation of hard, oval fruit. The leaves are harvested at full maturity when their colour, structure, and aroma are optimal. After harvesting, the leaves are carefully cleaned to remove dust, stems, and debris. They are then dried under controlled conditions to preserve their natural green to olive hue, texture, and aromatic qualities. Once dried, the leaves are cut and sifted into uniform pieces that retain the original leaf shape and structure, making them convenient for blending and use in various herbal applications. The processed leaves are sorted to remove fines and broken fragments, resulting in a clean, free-flowing, uniform product suitable for storage and handling. This ensures consistent size, colour, and quality, making Harde C/S a reliable botanical ingredient. Uses: Harde C/S is used in tea-style infusions, herbal and botanical blends, dry herbal mixtures, craft projects, cosmetic formulations, educational herb collections, and decorative herbal displays. The cut and sifted leaves provide visual appeal, natural texture, and uniformity, making them ideal for blending, infusions, and applications where identifiable leaf pieces are preferred. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
