Micro Buzz Leaf™ is very small, measuring approximately 2 centimeters in length, and has 3 to 4 spade-shaped leaves attached to short, slender stems. The delicate leaves are dark green with purple undertones and often bear jagged edges towards the stem. The surface of the leaves contains prominent veins that connect to a stout and sturdy stem with a dark green hue. The flavor of Micro Buzz Leaf™ is quite mild and slightly herbal with notes of citrus. Upon consumption, the leaf releases an active compound that creates a unique sensation on the tongue, resulting in a tingling and numbing feeling that stimulates the saliva glands.
Available year-round.
Tropical beverages and cocktails pair well.
Also called Spilanthes herb, the buzz leaf and the buzz button are native to the tropics of Africa and South America. This herb is called the "toothache plant" because it creates a slight numbing affect when eaten.
