The small grind creates the most \"bang for the buck\" for manufacturers by providing a more powerful brew with a smaller amount of material ... but it also goes stale faster. Stale material can have a completely different flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSimple Herbs, Simply Prepared\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCut fresh from our garden, and air-dried or freeze-dried on-site at our homestead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo freeze-dry, we take our fresh garden product directly to our home-scale freeze-drying machine. Freeze-drying requires a specialty machine to dehydrate foods through rapidly freezing down to -40 degrees, then lowering the pressure with a vacuum, removing the ice via sublimation. Because of the low temperatures, the herb retains more of its original qualities: its color, shape, nutrients, and aromatics are closer to fresh.
