Description
Ffern petitgrain is harvested in Paraguay from a hybrid tree - a cross between a sweet Citrus x sinensis and a bitter Citrus x aurantium. Grown by a network of family farmers in the South, the tree’s leaves and branches are cut and immediately distilled in hand built, clay sealed wooden distilleries - it’s imperative to keep the time between harvest and distillation to a minimum to preserve the freshness of the scent, which is woody and green with a floral edge.
