Detailed Savory Infusion description

Origin: Ecoherbes plants are grown on their own Organic Agricultural Estate in the municipality of L’Ampolla, south of Tarragona, Spain. The estate benefits from exceptional qualities for the cultivation of aromatic and culinary species for teas and infusions, with regards to the soil, irrigation water, and microclimate that ensure the acquisition of an exceptional and local raw material.

The cultivation fields, designed to emulate nature, feature precise management of nutrients and water, ensuring high-quality raw material. The harvest is carried out manually at its optimal point, and within 15 minutes, the product reaches the workshop. Here, the leaves and flowers are separated and dried naturally in a wooden dryer, ensuring their preservation.
