The tincture that is produced has a dark brown colour, usually clear (but can sometimes be slightly opaque), and with a characteristic liquid mobility.
As with all tinctures, sediments can occasionally form, but Verbena tincture is not known for sediment.
The smell is unique - both aromatic and penetrating. The taste has been described as "pleasantly bitter" (Verbena is used as a flavouring in liqueurs). Constituents have been identified as: alkoloids, choline, volatile oil, flavonoids.
Care should be taken in sourcing raw Verbena Officinalis to avoid hybrids.
