These kaffir lime trees, also known as makrut or Thai lime trees, are certified organically grown in Madagascar. This tropical region and its seasonal temperature differences offer the trees optimal growing conditions that promote the growth of their nutritious and aromatic leaves and fruit. The essential oils are obtained via steam distillation of freshly harvested leaves at the farm's on-site distillery.

The kaffir lime ripens to a green or yellow colour and has a distinctive shrivelled peel. Citrus hystrix is found primarily in Southeast Asia and Madagascar.
