Our Origins

We work deep in China's key aromatic plant regions. Each landscape gives our ingredients a distinct character.

Ginger fields on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau

Southwest China

The vertical climate and red soil of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau produce ginger and Sichuan pepper oils with exceptional depth and complexity. Altitude variations create unique microclimates, yielding distinctly different aromatic profiles from the same region.

Signature Materials: Ginger Oil, Sichuan Pepper Oil, Eucalyptus Oil

South China

The hot, humid monsoons and acidic soils of Lingnan yield cassia oil with particularly high cinnamaldehyde content, alongside bright, full-bodied citrus oils. The year-round frost-free climate makes this a natural greenhouse for aromatic plants.

Signature Materials: Cassia Oil, Citrus Oils, Citronella Oil

Cinnamon and citrus groves in the humid Lingnan region
Herb cultivation on the Shandong plains and Jiangnan hills

East China

From the flat plains of Shandong to the gentle hills of Jiangnan, the temperate monsoon climate cultivates consistently high-quality peppermint, spearmint, and other herbal oils. Centuries of cultivation history and mature processing infrastructure ensure batch-to-batch reliability.

Signature Materials: Peppermint Oil, Spearmint Oil, Star Anise Oil

Northwest China

The continental climate of China's Northwest — extreme day-night temperature swings, long sunlight hours, and dry air — drives plants to concentrate higher levels of active compounds under stress. Cumin, fennel, and other seed oils from this region are intensely aromatic and remarkably persistent.

Signature Materials: Cumin Oil, Fennel Oil, Lavender Oil

High-light cultivation in the arid inland Northwest
