Meet Organic Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) — the softly aromatic, bright-green dried herb beloved in traditional herbal practices for its clean, grassy flavour and naturally light, refreshing character. These delicate, finely cut leaves brew into a mellow, springlike herbal infusion with subtle earthiness, a hint of sweetness, and a crisp green finish.

Alfalfa is one of the gentlest herbs in the Bare Essentials, valued throughout traditional herbalism for its naturally occurring nutrients and its mild, easy-drinking flavour profile. It slips effortlessly into teas, wellness blends, morning brews, tincture bases and restorative infusions.

Hand-packed in Wollongong, this certified organic herb brings a fresh, meadow-like brightness to your loose-leaf creations — soft, simple and quietly grounding.
