🌿 Cleavers — Galium aparine

Dried Aerial Parts | Sustainably Sourced | Ideal for Teas, Infusions & Everyday Herbcraft

Cleavers (Galium aparine) is a classic spring herb traditionally gathered when the first green shoots appear after winter. Known for its soft, clinging texture and vibrant green character, cleavers has long been valued in European folk herbcraft for its association with renewal, movement, and seasonal transition.

Once dried, the herb retains its natural aroma, colour, and texture — ideal for teas, infusions, blends, and everyday botanical craft.
