Partridge Berry (Mitchella repens) Tincture, Wildcrafted Dried Herb Liquid Extract

Partridge Berry (Mitchella repens) Tincture, Wildcrafted Dried Herb Liquid Extract

A single-herb liquid extract of dried herb of Mitchella repens, cold-macerated in small batches and offered either as a traditional tincture in organic sugar-cane alcohol or as a vegetable glycerite.

What you get

• One herb, named to species. Nothing in the bottle but Mitchella repens herb — the botanical name is printed on the label, so you always know which plant you bought.
• Cold maceration, never heated. The herb steeps at room temperature rather than being boiled or spray-dried, so the volatile and heat-sensitive fractions stay in the liquid.
• Your choice of menstruum. Organic sugar-cane alcohol for a traditional tincture, or a vegetable glycerin extract with no ethanol in it.
• Ethically wild-harvested or sustainably sourced. Wild material is bought from harvesters who work stands on rotation rather than stripping them.
• Nothing else added. No added sugar, no artificial colours, preservatives or fragrances. Non-GMO and gluten-free.
• Made in the USA in an FDA-registered facility.
• Sizes from 2 fl oz to 2 gallons, including multi-packs — the same extract whether you are trying it or restocking.

About the plant

Partridge berry is a creeping evergreen of the North American forest floor, forming flat mats of small paired glossy leaves marked with a pale midrib. Its flowers do something unusual: they come in pairs, joined at the base, and the two ovaries fuse, so that a single scarlet berry forms carrying two distinct eyes where the two flowers were. It is a coffee relative, and the berries persist right through the winter.
