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. The tormentil we offer grows wild, in its natural habitat. Its wild growth gives it an intense character and a particularly rich taste and aroma.

Sustainable Packaging

Our herbs are packaged in resealable pouches that protect against light, air, and moisture, helping to preserve their aroma, quality, and properties as well as possible. The pouches are made of paper with a compostable protective layer and are industrially compostable. In many municipalities, they can be disposed of with organic waste. Home composting is also possible, although it may take a bit longer (about 1–2 years). More information about our packaging choice.

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