Product Details
Why We Selected It
We selected this saffron for its remarkable aromatic finesse, its natural cultivation in the Yunnan mountains, and its ability to elevate any dish with depth and balance. Grown without chemicals and hand-harvested with care, it reflects a centuries-old tradition where saffron was prized not only for its medicinal value but also for its unique culinary power.
For over 3,000 years, saffron has been one of the most revered and precious spices in the world, valued by ancient civilizations from Persia to India for its healing properties, its symbolic status, and its extraordinary flavor. Today, it remains a rare treasure—difficult to grow, delicate to harvest, and impossible to imitate.
Its rich, floral fragrance and complex taste reveal themselves even in minute quantities—offering not just color, but an experience. More than a spice, it’s a bridge between tradition, purity, and exceptional flavor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Saffron
Our saffron is grown naturally in the highlands of Yunnan, without chemicals or additives. Its delicate, complex aroma and deep flavor make it a rare culinary gem. Harvested by hand and dried with care, it reflects centuries of tradition and exceptional purity.
Saffron contains unique volatile compounds—such as safranal, picrocrocin, and crocin—that interact synergistically to enhance the overall flavor profile of a dish. Rather than masking flavors, saffron amplifies the aromatic complexity of other ingredients, bringing depth, warmth, and subtle sweetness. Safranal contributes to its rich aroma, while picrocrocin adds gentle bitterness, and crocin gives dishes their signature golden hue. This trio creates a layered sensory experience, making even the simplest recipes more refined and memorable—with just a few threads.
Yes! While some delicate compounds are sensitive to high heat, soaking saffron first and adding it toward the end of cooking helps preserve both its flavor and properties. It’s an ancient trick that chefs and herbalists alike still swear by.
Yes, in traditional Chinese and Persian medicine, saffron has long been used to support uterine balance, improve circulation, and ease premenstrual symptoms. A warm infusion taken regularly can gently help soothe mood swings and discomfort before and during menstruation.
Serving Instructions
Preparation Steps
In the Kitchen
To release its delicate flavor and golden color, steep 5 to 8 saffron threads in warm water, milk, or broth (around 80°C) for 10 to 15 minutes before adding to your recipe. This step allows the saffron to fully infuse your dish without direct heat damage. Ideal for rice, fish, stews, desserts, or warm drinks, saffron elevates flavor with subtle complexity — earthy, floral, and slightly sweet. Just a few threads are enough to transform a recipe.
As a Cycle-Supporting Infusion
Saffron has traditionally been consumed to support female balance and circulation, particularly around menstruation. Infuse 5 to 8 threads in 80°C water, and drink 1 to 2 cups per day starting a few days before your period. This soothing infusion may help relieve PMS tension, support uterine comfort, and gently uplift the mood.
Saffron soaking in wine is also a very good way to consume it. Mix saffron and white wine in a certain proportion (500 ml of white wine, 4g of saffron), and then store it in a dark and dry environment. It will be ready after half a month. It is ready for drinking, 20ml each time.
