The frail leaves were influenced by the rain, the snow, the winter mist.
only the purest of the winter grown leaves, full of the nutrients they needed to absorb in order not to die, were plucked for elfenthee.
in order to perserve the precious nutrients within the fine leaves, very little processing is done.
the leaves were shipped directly from the source to our office, where they're stored between 2 to minus 19 degrees celcius.
