BOTANICAL HIGHLIGHTS
Provenance: Peruvian Andes
Plant part: Leaves and stems
Practice: Steam distillation
A deeply herbal, dark and earthy mint revered for centuries by Incan communities who consume muña tea for digestive and respiratory health. The stems and leaves are sustainably wildharvested all year from the mountains around Cusco and Piura, and the essential oil is distilled locally by hand. The income supports 75 women and men and their families across three communities, offering a stable return year round and a safety net against other more seasonal crop harvests.
Provenance: Queensland, Australia
Plant part: Leaves and twigs
Practice: Steam distillation
A bright and tangy bush oil found in Queensland's subtropical coastal rainforests, lemon myrtle has been long used by Indigenous Australians as a healing plant. Like eucalyptus, it is part of the powerful Myrtle plant family, believed to offer potent cleansing activities. Our lemon myrtle is organically cultivated and distilled in Queensland. The spent biomass from distillation is composted to nourish the soil, finding new uses in otherwise discarded materials.
Provenance: Nile Delta, Egypt
Plant part: Flower petals
Practice: Absolute extraction
Our treasured jasmine distillation comes from Egypt’s Nile Delta, a lush agricultural region where the Nile River meets the Mediterranean Sea. Women are at the heart of jasmine cultivation, handpicking the opened flowers at dawn daily when they are the most fragrant. Jasmine is the highest value crop in Egypt and is untaxed, making it an important revenue source for women and their families. We partner with a family-run distiller who takes part in local environmental conservation programs and has constructed childcare centers, female health clinics, mobile dental clinics, and clean water systems for the flower pickers and their families.
Provenance: Nosy Be, Madagascar
Plant part: Flower petals
Practice: Steam distillation
Sculptural ylang ylang flowers grow abundantly in the jungles of northern Madagascar, where their sweet and slightly spicy aroma fills the air from dawn to dusk. The flowers are harvested daily at sunrise by 70 women from nearby communities and distilled onsite the same day for maximum freshness. Our distiller has set up a healthcare fund for the women, constructed bathrooms in local schools for their children, and built a dam in the flower fields that conserves water by repurposing rainwater for irrigation.
Plant part: Leaves and branches
Provenance: Eastern Cape, New Zealand
Practice: Steam distillation
Native to New Zealand, manuka trees grow along the country’s scenic East Cape, joining the mountains with the sea. The plant yields manuka honey from its flowers, and a spicy, herbaceous oil from its leaves and branches. Harvesting takes place year round in concert with traditional Maori landowners, where only the top of trees are touched to ensure they flourish for their full 30 year lifecycle and support the local bee population. Our distiller reuses essential oil byproduct as a fertilizer to reduce waste and provides funding for local educational and employment schemes in this beautiful yet remote part of the country.
Provenance: Sultanate of Oman
Plant part: Oleo gum resin
Practice: Hydrodistillation of bark resin
A staple of spiritual practice for millennia, frankincense is traditionally burnt as an aromatic resin, its smoke representing prayers rising to the gods above. Our frankincense is unique to Oman, the original specie at the heart of a once flourishing trade. The majestic trees grow wild along UNESCO-recognized trade routes behind Oman’s Dhofar Mountains, in a special microclimate sheltered from the summer monsoons. The trees are gently tapped for their aromatic gum, which is gathered by hand and undergoes artisanal distillation in traditional copper pots, yielding an exceptional quality oil.
