Wild Melissa, also known as Honey Balm (Melissa officinalis L), is sustainably and tenderly gathered from the hedgerows and bramble of our historic stone carriage house garden at the perfect seasonal ripeness to ensure the nutrient-rich properties are encapsulated in our potent distillate. This season, we have combined our beloved Wild Honey Balm Essence with fermented Spring Violets gathered from our organic allotment.
This craft hydrosol is prepared only once per year in limited availability.
