INCI: Gentiana Lutea Root Powder

Gentian Root Powder (Gentiana lutea) is a finely milled, intensely bitter alpine root made from carefully dried gentian. A classic digestive bitter, it suits pre-meal herbal teas, simple extracts and aperitif-style kitchen bitters where a clean, tonic edge is desired.

♡ Why we love it: Its bold, unmistakable bitterness wakes up the palate and pairs beautifully with lemon or mint in short, pre-meal sips; the smooth powder measures quickly and strains cleanly.

Sizes: 200g or 1kg.

This product is certified: Vegan and Food Grade.
