The Sourcing Ethos

Wild-Harvested in the Meadows of Southern Georgia

Known as 'ბაბუაწვერა (babuatsvera)' in Georgian, our dandelion is wild-harvested from the nutrient-rich meadows and subalpine pastures of Samtskhe-Javakheti. This hardy, sun-loving plant is abundant and widespread across the region's volcanic grasslands.

Harvest timing is split by plant part to capture each at its peak: tender leaves are gathered in early spring, while roots are lifted in autumn, when the plant's inulin reserves are at their seasonal peak. Our gentle, low-temperature processing preserves these compounds and the bitter principles that define the plant.

Cosmetic & Skin

Dried leaf and root supply polyphenols, flavonoids, and vitamins A, C, and E, valued by the cosmetics industry as a botanical antioxidant with skin-conditioning and tone-evening properties.

Nutraceutical

Inulin-rich autumn root provides prebiotic soluble fibre for supplements and digestive teas, while the dried leaf serves herbal infusions and functional beverages.
