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.
