OriginFrom the fields of Herat province
Our threads grow in the fields of Herat province. This region is to saffron what Bordeaux is to wine: the soil, the cold dawns and the dry autumn give the colour and the aroma.

HarvestHand-picked at dawn
The flower opens for a single dawn. It is picked by hand: the petals are stripped and the three red stigmas sorted the same day.

GradeWhole saffron threads
