While many distillers wait to harvest yarrow when the plant is still blooming and green, we wait.
We don’t look at the Yarrow until it has been abandoned by life. When the stalks are light, the pollinators are done, the spiders have moved on, the gentle little beetles have found warm burrows and we don’t have to re-home dozens of little guys.
The compound we distill for is a degradation product of a sesquiterpene. The scent is different, sunnier, less verdant and full of the chemistry that aids in calming inflamed skin and munching free radicals.
