Detailed Rosemary Infusion Description

Origin: Ecoherbes plants are cultivated on their own Organic Agricultural Estate, located in the municipality of L’Ampolla, south of Tarragona, Spain. The estate enjoys exceptional qualities for the cultivation of aromatic and culinary species for teas and infusions, in terms of soil, irrigation water, and microclimatology, ensuring the production of an exceptional and local raw material.
Production Process: The Ecoherbes Seed Bank and Vegetative Reproduction Center, active since 2007, have developed an exclusive and natural genetic makeup 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 material. The harvest is carried out manually at its optimal point, and within less than 15 minutes, the product reaches the workshop. Here, the leaves and flowers are separated and dried in a wooden dryer naturally, guaranteeing their preservation. Finally, the infusions are prepared artisanally, with exclusive formulas that combine phytotherapy and haute cuisine.
