No 600 Rhön mountain meadow hay - Geist

You can only experience nature with all your senses if you can be completely in the here and now. Many people manage to do this away from the hustle and bustle of the great outdoors. It may be primal instincts deeply rooted in our genes that allow us to become still in such moments and enhance our perception. Scents that surround us in such moments of contentment become deeply engraved in our olfactory memory. And so many people will associate the smell of hay with a summer walk through the meadows and fields of their childhood.

Our aim was to preserve precisely this smell in a spirit so that it is always at hand. To achieve this, we macerated sun-dried organic mountain meadow hay from the Rhön UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and distilled it very gently. The result is a spirit that has far exceeded our expectations in terms of activating our olfactory memory.

Our Geist vom Bergwiesenheu combines the soothing aromas of summer-dried hay with the scent of aromatic herbs and fragrant wild grasses that only thrive in such untouched nature, transporting you to a freshly mown meadow in the blink of an eye. So-called coumarins, which are also found in woodruff, tonka bean and cinnamon cassia, are responsible for the typical hay smell when drying grass. These are partially glycosidically bound in the living plant and are only released when the plants wither by splitting off the sugar. The coumarin, with its sweet, herbaceous and spicy aroma and vanilla-like taste, points the way for all creative people in the kitchen and bar to use this unique spirit.
