Dehydration protocols and analytical testing

Preserving delicate compounds in mint leaves and dried rosehips requires rigorous technical discipline. Drying takes place under filtered airflow at temperatures not exceeding thirty-eight degrees Celsius for mint and forty-five degrees for rosehips. This gentle process prevents the breakdown of ascorbic acid and the loss of volatile menthol fractions.

Ingredient physiology and batch inspection

Every botanical batch undergoes a series of physical and chemical measurements before admission to our workshop:

• Residual moisture: Moisture levels are kept strictly below nine percent to prevent any risk of microbial growth.
• Verified origin: Harvesting takes place in clean areas away from busy roadways and chemical farming.
• Pericarp integrity: Rosehip fruits are carefully stripped of internal hairs to ensure a clear, pleasant infusion.

Why the process matters to the consumer

A properly dried mint leaf retains its deep green color and releases an intense sensation of freshness at a simple touch. Similarly, carefully dehydrated rosehips impart a pleasant, fruity acidity to the water, reflecting the substantial nutrients preserved in every cup.
