Orris Root – Iris germanica

Earthy root with timeless floral depth.

Orris root (Iris germanica) is the dried, peeled, and cut rhizome of the garden iris, valued for centuries in European herbal and aromatic traditions. It offers a distinctive soft, powdery aroma with subtle violet-like notes and an earthy, slightly bitter taste. Traditionally, orris root has been used in herbal wellness routines to gently support digestion and overall balance, while also being appreciated for its natural aromatic qualities.

Commonly used as a tea infusion in small amounts, orris root is also prized in culinary and beverage applications, especially in baking, liqueurs, and gin for aroma binding. Sourced from Europe and hand-filled in small batches, it is packed in a kraft pouch to preserve freshness and fragrance. Do not exceed typical culinary amounts.
