We source the herbs for this blend directly from small, regional mountain herb farms in the idyllic alpine foothills of Austria.
Situated at an elevation of 500–900m, the herb farm is far removed from major industrial areas and highways. The oats flourish in small fields that are cultivated according to organic standards and completely without the use of chemicals.
Due to the climatic conditions, irrigation is not necessary. Within 1–2 hours after harvest, the oats are gently dried in a cabinet dryer at 40°C for 12–24 hours. Thereafter they are roughly cut and packaged. The dried oats are not sprayed, light-treated, or processed further.
The region, which is located in the transitional area between the climate influenced by the Atlantic Ocean and and the inland continental climate, is advantageous for growing oats. The mild summers with cool nights as well as raw winter of the highlands provide ideal temperature while regular rainfall and high humidity further benefit the growth of oats. Other factors include the granite rock bed beneath the soil and the exceptionally high standards of the farm itself. The resulting oats have a noticeably fine flavour and are highly nutritious with many essential oils and secondary phytochemicals.
