Plants
Peas
Pisum sativum. A delicacy in the 17th Century, kings were known to wow guests at banquets with platters of freshly picked Peas. Peas are nitrogen fixing (good for the soil) & there is more protein in a cup of Peas than in an egg, more fibre than in a slice of wholemeal bread & more vitamin C than in 2 apples. They bring all those fresh green notes to Seedlip Garden 108. Eat your Peas, please.
Hay
Lolium multiflorum. Hay is typically a blend of grasses, such as ryegrass, timothy & brome with alfalfa & clover. Its green & dry flavours (baking vegetables in Hay is a must!) are unique to the specific blend we use – an excellent ryegrass Hay.
Rosemary
Rosmarinus officinalis. A woody, perennial herb with fragrant leaves native to the Mediterranean region, Rosemary brings a really herbaceous character to Garden 108 blend. The name derives from the Latin for dew (ros) & sea (marinus) – “Dew of the Sea”.
Thyme
Thymus vulgaris. An aromatic perennial evergreen herb with culinary, medicinal & ornamental uses, Thyme is piney & peppery on the palate with mint & bitter lemon notes. It is easy to grow at home & loves well-drained soil & full sun.
Spearmint
Mentha spicata. The name derives from its pointed leaf tips & this perennial herb is almost too easy to grow at home - it has a habit of taking over! Spearmint brings the bright menthol freshness to the top notes of Garden 108.
Hops
Humulus lupulus. The first documented cultivation of Hops was in AD736 in Germany & in 1524 the first British Hops were grown. Most commonly used in beer, Hops bring slightly bitter green & peppery notes to our blend.
