Harvesting

Tarragon is harvested at its peak growth, just before flowering, to ensure maximum flavor and aroma. Skilled workers carefully cut the stems close to the base, selecting vibrant green leaves that are tender and aromatic. The timing of the harvest is crucial; early morning is preferred to capture the herb’s essential oils at their highest concentration and to minimize moisture loss.

Post-Harvest Handling

Immediately after harvesting, tarragon is transported to processing facilities under controlled conditions to preserve its freshness. The herbs are kept cool (between 0-4°C) to slow down metabolic processes and are handled with care to prevent bruising. High humidity levels (around 90%) are maintained to avoid wilting, ensuring that the tarragon retains its crisp texture and vibrant color.

Trimming

Once at the processing facility, the tarragon undergoes trimming. This leaves the leafy parts of the shoots to enhance quality and value. This step ensures that only the finest parts of the plant are selected for export. Skilled workers use sterile trimmers to achieve a clean cut, maintaining consistency in size and quality.

Weighing and Bundling

After trimming, the tarragon is carefully weighed to create uniform bundles. Typically, the herbs are bundled in units of 100g meant for packaging in larger assortments of 1kg boxes, and this can also be varied depending on client specifications. This process not only ensures standardization but also makes handling and packaging more efficient.

Packaging

Packaging is in 1kg boxes made up of 100g bundles. During this process, the bundles are placed in breathable packaging materials, such as perforated plastic bags, to allow for airflow while preventing excess moisture buildup. Each package is labeled with essential information, ensuring traceability, and informing consumers about the product’s quality.

Cold Storage and Dispatch

Once packaged, the tarragon is moved to a cold storage facility where temperatures are maintained at around 4°C to extend its shelf life. Regular monitoring of temperature and humidity levels is essential to prevent spoilage and preserve the herb’s aromatic properties. When orders are ready for dispatch, the tarragon is loaded into refrigerated transport to maintain optimal conditions during transit.
