Ecuadorian Horchata 18 herb mix from wild mountain herbs

Horchata Herbal Blend – 18 Herbs & Flowers

This aromatic blend comes from Vilcabamba, a special town in Loja, Ecuador, where many locals grow organic food for personal use and well-being. The cooperative of women who prepare our Horchata mix gather herbs from their own organic gardens as well as from the wild in Podocarpus National Park—an exceptional ecosystem known as páramo, located high in the Andes where pristine springs flow.

Contains: A variety of aromatic herbs and flowers traditionally found in the region, including broadleaf plantain (llantén), borage (borraja), melissa (toronjil), lemongrass, amaranth flowers, peppermint, ataco, lemon balm, rose geranium, and many wild roses and flowers native to the páramo ecosystem. The reddish hue of the blend comes from escancel (also known as bloodleaf).

This traditional blend is known regionally for its beauty and cultural value, and it has been cherished for generations as part of daily life in Vilcabamba.
