- Orris Root, or Iris Root, is the root of the strikingly beautiful iris flower, which grows all over the world. Special growers harvest the iris plant and dry the roots, which have long been used in perfumery, in skin balms, and in the kitchen.
- Many people used to believe that iris root is a love potion which provokes desire in anyone who takes it. It is more properly used as a spice, such as in Ras el-hanout, the blend used heavily in Moroccan cuisine.
- Iris root is a botanical which turns up in everything from pot pourri to flavoured gin. It is fragrant and enhances other scents and flavours, so a small amount goes a long way in a spice blend or a home infusion.
- We supply the dried root two ways. The loose dried root can be measured out, crushed or ground yourself for spice mixes and any of your chosen applications. The silky pyramid tea bags hold the same Iris germanica root ready to brew, giving a fragrant, earthy infusion with a subtle floral aroma, one clean bag per cup with no strainer needed.
- 100% natural. We strongly believe that the higher quality a product, the more benefits it brings, because it is loaded with the right substances. That is why we search around the world for the finest produce.
