INCI: Gentiana lutea Root

Gentian Root Cut (Gentiana lutea) is a dried, food-grade bitter herb prized in traditional European herbalism for its bold, toning character. With a deep, earthy aroma and distinctly bitter taste, it's commonly used before meals in classic digestive rituals. The sturdy root pieces suit short decoctions and strong infusions, contributing a clean, bracing edge to blends. Makers often pair gentian with warming aromatics to balance its intensity and round out flavour. Naturally vegan and minimally processed, it's a focused addition to mindful herbal routines.

♡ Why we love it: Potently bitter yet beautifully clean, gentian root resets the palate and sets the stage for calm, considered digestion. It brings clarity and structure to blends without overshadowing companion herbs. We love how a little goes a long way for pre-meal rituals.

Size: 100g.
