Herbs
Herbs lose their aroma fast when badly dried or left to age on a shelf – ours are sourced and turned over quickly enough to still smell like the plant.

Herbs
Everyday essentials: parsley, thyme, sage, chives and mint, plus the Italian favourites – oregano, basil and rosemary.
Global & Ayurvedic botanicals: Asian herbs, herbal powders and traditional Ayurvedic staples.
Teas & infusions: the same herbs brew into digestive and calming teas.
Why organic matters here: conventional herbs are among the more heavily sprayed crops, and aggressive drying flattens their flavour. Organic, gently dried botanicals keep more of both – flavour without leaning on salt, sugar or heavy fats.

Herbs FAQs
What's the difference between a herb and a spice? Herbs are the leafy green parts of a plant, like basil, oregano and thyme. Spices come from other parts such as seeds, bark, roots and berries. For those, see the spices collection.
Can I use dried herbs instead of fresh? Yes, but dried herbs are more concentrated, so use roughly a third of the amount a recipe asks for in fresh, and add them earlier in cooking to let the flavour develop.
How should I store dried herbs? Keep them airtight, away from heat, light and moisture. They hold their flavour best within a year or so, after which they gradually fade.
Can I make tea from these herbs? Many of them, yes. Mint, chamomile and similar botanicals steep into simple digestive and calming infusions.
Do Club members pay less? Yes. WFE Club members get lower prices plus free delivery on mainland UK orders over £50. It's free to join. You can join the Club here.
