June – July
Linden
flowers and leaves
Picked at the height of bloom from old-growth linden groves in the foothills. Flower clusters and young leaves are dried together. Mild, faintly sweet, and widely used as a calming tea.
Sourcing area
Old-growth linden groves in the sub-alpine foothills of central and western Georgia, 600–1,000m.
Minimum order
100g dried weight.
Lead time
Contact by May for June–July bloom. The harvest window is 2–3 weeks per year — orders outside this period use prior-season stock.
Harvest variability
Flower yield depends on spring temperature and timing. Late frosts can significantly reduce bloom density in a given year.
Quality variability
Flower colour ranges from cream to pale gold. Aroma is mild and consistent. Older stock fades in scent faster than other botanicals.
Storage / shelf life
Sealed glass or tin, away from light. 9–12 months from dispatch. Best within 6 months for full floral aroma.
Packaging
Kraft inner bag, plain outer mailer. Fragile flower clusters are not vacuum-sealed to avoid compression.
Import restrictions
No known restrictions for dried flower material in standard export markets.
