Detailed Relaxing Infusion description

Origin: Ecoherbes plants are grown in their own Organic Agricultural Farm, in the municipality of L’Ampolla, south of Tarragona, Spain. The farm benefits from exceptional qualities for the cultivation of aromatic and culinary species for teas and infusions, regarding the soil, irrigation water, and microclimatology, ensuring the procurement of exceptional and local raw materials.
Production process: The Seed Bank and the Ecoherbes Vegetative Reproduction Center, active since 2007, have developed exclusive and natural genetics in their plants, achieving unique cultivars with high organoleptic properties. The cultivation fields, designed to emulate nature, have precise nutrient and water management, ensuring high-quality raw materials. The harvest is done manually at its optimal point, and in less than 15 minutes, the product reaches the workshop. Here, the leaves and flowers are separated and dried in a wooden dryer naturally, ensuring their conservation. Finally, the infusions are prepared artisanally, with exclusive formulas that combine phytotherapy and haute cuisine.
