Botanical name:Panax ginseng(as known as Korean or Chinese Ginseng)
Background:Panax ginseng has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for more than 2200 years. Ginseng, the root of the plant, grows best in semi-shade and forest lands and demands precise methods of cultivation to ensure the best quality.
Where ours are grown:Sourced in China in Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces.
Harvest period:September to December
Farming:
• A stratification process makes seeds germination possible in nurseries.
• Sprouts are then planted in the fields where they will grow for four to five years under shade structures to mimic their natural environment in the forest.
• As soon as the plantation is set up, young trees are planted between cultivation rows.
• When the harvest ends, trees are already 4-5 years old and the farming land is given
back to nature.
Our suppliers approach:
Our supplier works closely with their farmers to drive implementation of good agricultural practices. They complete multiple field visits every year to follow-up on practices and ensure quality.
