Tarragon is very complex, with competing notes of cool and warm. The flavor is a fight between bitter and sweet, with hints of licorice, vanilla, and eucalyptus.
Tarragon is also known as “little dragon.” The nickname stuck so well that it became the origin of the word tarragon, which comes from the Turkish word turkhum, meaning (yup): little dragon.
