Our Producer

Our Picker, Jean-Pierre Pavier, harvests Meadowsweet Flowers in the wild by hand. With the aim of preserving wildlife, he only cuts the flower spikes and leaves the rods. Jean-Pierre leaves 50% of the flowers on plants in order to help their renewal and ensure a sustainable supply. From that 50%, he picks the ones that have released their pollen already so they can continue to sustain in their environment.
