Extrakta
A tier
Extrakta is a high essential-oil culinary sage selected for processing, tea, and intense dried leaf—stronger aromatic punch per gram than mild ornamental sages. Fresh leaves are potent; dry carefully to keep the top notes. Use when you want maximum sage impact in sausage, stuffing blends, and herbal teas. A little goes further than common garden leaf.
