SOLD OUT

In meadows of the Catskill Mountains of New York grow wild an abundance of native and naturalized herbs and flowers. A few of these were respectfully and personally harvested, dried, and combined with a homemade spice mixture, creating a delightful potpourri packet.

A handmade aromatic spice mixture gives the packet an exotic aroma, which includes rosemary, cloves and cardamom which are all great brain stimulants for memory and freshness.

The packet itself is made out of Shan paper which is handmade from mulberry bark by ethnic hill-tribe peoples. This is decorated with pressed wild-herbs, creating a natural container for the dried wildflowers.

Size: 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 cm

Note: Comes with two sealed refresher envelopes of memory spice.
