We source rosemary from the lush fields of Wondo Genet in southern Ethiopia. Family growers here own small and medium plots of land of up to 1.5 hectares. They grow the crops next to other cash crops like basil and red onions.
We harvest Ethiopia rosemary leaves by cutting off two to three inches of every sprig. These cuttings usually have the oil content that not only spices up meals but serves as medicine. We then dry the stems so that they can undergo processing for the oil. We then wait until the needlelike leaves are mature and pick them the same way as any other leafy plant. All of our harvesting methods include sharp sterilized pruning equipment and harvesting scissors.
We pack fresh Ethiopia rosemary in tied bunches of half a dozen to 24 stems per half a bushel box. We first insert the herbs in polyethylene lined bags for keeping the hydration levels optimal. We then put the bags into cartons for fast portability.
We also process Ethiopia rosemary for sale as a dried tinned product. Soon after harvesting, we dry the leaves and stems using an industrial dehydrator. Mechanical trays remove excess moisture under high temperatures in just a few minutes. We only keep single layers of Ethiopia rosemary leaves on the trays so as to ensure uniform drying. In a few minutes, our experienced workers take off the leaves and place them on sheets for settling in anticipation for packing.
The final step involves hanging the dry rosemary leaves upside down so that the pointed needles will come off the leaves. Finally, our workers under the supervision of a food safety representative in Ethiopia oversees the removal of the naturally dry leaves off the hangers. They then rub them off the stems before putting the now powdery leaves into jute bags or tins.
We pack dried rosemary in bulk cartons of 25 kilograms as well as woven custom bags that keep the herb well aerated. We also have small sachets of 30 grams. You may also request for medium and larger sizes than these. Each packet or carton consists of whole and split dry leaves with some powdery elements.
