At Natural Origins, we are experts in the sourcing and processing of aromatic and medicinal plants. We have chosen botanical ingredients based on both their exceptional qualities and the privileged terroirs they come from, for your formulations.
We can therefore propose unique plants with authentic organoleptic properties which emphasise the flavour of your creations while offering their true potential. Discover the different production steps on this journey to the heart of the plant universe. Together we will achieve your project with a complete peace of mind: sourcing, batch control, analyses, processing, formulation with our Botanical Studio® and storage.
Natural Origins source over 350 plant species and produce over 2000 ingredients including 300 plants for infusions and tea, 90% of which are organic. We offer 3 sizes of cuts (0.3-2mm/3-6mm/4-10 mm), adapted to different tea bags: paper bags, pyramid or bulk, depending on your choice.
All our raw materials are analysed, representing over 1700 samples controlled every year by European laboratories. We also carry out specific analyses upon request.
Working with Natural Origins is taking advantage of our time-proven expertise through our farming supply chains established over 25 years ago. We have in-depth botanical knowledge based on our experience in sourcing. We harvest in season to keep all the freshness and totum of their properties. Our demanding effort is thus revealed in the gustative and visual qualities of your finished product which provide a remarkable taste and an attractive dimension to your various solutions. Our traceability also ensures transparency of the origins of our products.
As part of our CSR approach and ethical purchasing policy, we are committed to creating responsible and long-lasting supply chains. As such, Natural Origins has obtained the Fair For Life certification as well as the For Life label.
We actually buy our plants from our local partners, from cooperatives and from our farmers.
The transformation process of our plants involves an initial disinsectisation phase. We then proceed to cut the raw material (leaves, aerial parts, bark, roots, berries and fruits) and then develop your blend for a 100% Natural Origins recipe. For your teas and infusions, optional flavouring is done with essential oil, liquid or granulated flavouring, or even liquid extract (in compliance with the 2022 regulation).
Natural Origins has a permanent stock of 1000 tons of plants and a year-round stock of 2500 tons, which offers great formulation and range extension possibilities for your brand.
To create a desire for your finished product, two fundamental criteria must be met:
- tasting, which validates the organoleptic parameters,
- and formulation, which allows you to match the taste sought by your customers as closely as possible.
With our plants, we offer you custom designed creations ready to sell. In this respect, and in order to present you with the appropriate solution, a dedicated project manager accompanies you with a step-by-step follow-up in three stages:
Our different packaging’s reliability and technology are adapted to all projects.
