Cistus | Rock Rose | Organic | Ancient | Resinous

Meet Cistus (Rock Rose) – (Cistus incanus), a fiercely aromatic Mediterranean botanical treasured since antiquity. These rugged, resin-rich leaves carry a bold, slightly smokey herbal profile with a wild, sunbaked edge — the kind of flavour that reveals its depth the longer it steeps.

Used throughout Greek, Middle Eastern and traditional European herbalism, Cistus is celebrated for its powerful aroma and its role in deep-brewed herbal teas, wellness blends and resin-forward infusions. Whether simmered slowly or blended with complementary herbs, Cistus delivers a distinctive, ancient-wild character that stands apart from softer modern botanicals.

Hand-packed in Wollongong and certified organic, this herb earns a rightful place in the Loose Leaf Liaisons, bringing heritage strength and Mediterranean grit to your herbal repertoire.
