Wild Avishan Shirazi Leaves. The leaves let out aromas (nose and taste) of verbena, cinnamon, lime, coriander and ginger. The region of Isfahan, at the heart of the Silk Road, in former Persia, is famous for its saffron trees, especially at the foot of Mount Karkas, 2100 metres above sea level. This semi-wild area is very famous for its thousands of wild medicinal plants. Its environment is pure, with no pesticides to be found. Nature does its work and the villagers harvest all year round to supply local medicine sellers.
Hunter of tastes, sourcer of flavors, Olivier Derenne is eager to share new sensations, scents, textures and flavors from wonders around the globe. Le Comptoir des Poivres follows a strict work ethics : no chemical additives are ever used in the selected farms, people working in the plantations work in optimal conditions, many selection processes to keep only the most exceptional grains or berries, direct shipment from the plantations to France.
