Tormentil Bio – 200 gr

Tormentil is a perennial plant that does especially well in grasslands, heaths, fens, mountaintops and in open forests, especially on slightly acid soils. Tormentil blooms from June to September. The species is hermaphrodite (has both male and female organs) and is pollinated by bees, flies, beetles, lepidoptera (moths and butterflies). The plant is self-pollinating.

All parts of Tormentil contain more tannin than e.g. oak bark and are therefore strongly astringent. Thus, this plant is best used where use of tannins can provide support.

Sustainable Packaging

Our herbs are packed in compostable bags that are airtight and resealable, so that the flavors and fragrances are optimally preserved. The pouches do not let sunlight through, ensuring the efficacy of the herbs. With our sustainable packaging, we seek to minimize our carbon footprint without sacrificing quality.

Attention for a moment

Use pure Tormentil (e.g. powder) in moderation due to risk of stomach problems from the tannins.
