Dried Birch Leaves (Horst) are the carefully harvested and dried leaves of the silver birch (Betula pendula), collected at the optimal stage of development to preserve their full complement of natural constituents. Birch leaves contain a range of phytochemicals including flavonoids (primarily hyperoside, myricetin, and quercetin derivatives), vitamin C, triterpenes, and tannins, making them one of the most widely used traditional herbal ingredients in Northern and Eastern European herbal practice.
Dried birch leaves are used to prepare herbal teas and infusions, either as a standalone preparation or blended with other dried herbs. The mildly astringent, pleasantly green, and slightly aromatic taste of birch leaf infusion makes it a traditional and enjoyable herbal tea. In home cosmetics, birch leaf infusions have traditionally been used as preparations for scalp and hair rinsing. The 50 g loose-leaf pack provides a generous supply for home use.

Horst Kaselehed 50 g is a loose herbal product made from dried silver birch leaves (Betula pendula). Birch leaf has a long tradition in Northern and Eastern European herbal use, where it is brewed as a mild, pleasantly green infusion and also prepared for external rinses. People usually choose this kind of herb when they want a simple plant-based tea with a slightly astringent taste, or when they prefer traditional botanical ingredients for home herbal use.
Birch leaves naturally contain several plant compounds, especially flavonoids such as hyperoside and quercetin derivatives, along with tannins, triterpenes and some vitamin C. In plain language, flavonoids are protective substances made by the plant itself; they are valued in herbal practice because they give the infusion much of its character. Tannins are the components responsible for the gently drying, slightly tightening sensation in the mouth, while triterpenes are another group of natural substances often found in leaves and bark. Together, these compounds make birch leaf tea feel more structured than a neutral herbal drink, but still light enough for people who enjoy traditional herb infusions.
What makes this product appealing is its simplicity: 100% dried birch leaves, without blends or added flavourings. Loose leaves also give a more classic preparation experience than instant drinks or extract capsules, and they can be used in more than one way. Some people brew birch leaf tea as part of their seasonal herb regimen, while others prepare a stronger infusion for use as a scalp or hair rinse in home cosmetics. This kind of versatility is one reason birch leaf has remained popular in folk herbal traditions across the Baltic region.
This herbal tea suits those who appreciate traditional plant ingredients and want to include a classic birch leaf infusion in their day-to-day habits. If you are using herbs regularly, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are choosing products for a child, it is sensible to check first with a healthcare professional. If you plan to use the infusion externally, test it on a small area first, especially if your skin is sensitive.
