From the Golden State

From the Golden State, Not a Distant Shore

California's Mediterranean climate gives Crocus sativus a new home. We left a city skyline for Lake County soil and never looked back—because this isn't a business, it's a labor of love.

As you scroll, imagine the petals unfolding. GSAP-powered parallax keeps the imagery grounded while the copy glides forward, just like our dawn harvest walk.

Every thread is coaxed to its fullest expression—meticulously plucked, sorted, and cured on site. The result? A bright, honeyed aroma that only comes from crops tended under California sun.

Hand-Harvested at Dawn
Every bloom is picked in the cool morning air as it opens, protecting the delicate stigmas inside.
A Labor of Precision
Each flower yields just three crimson threads. We pluck, sort, and dry them by hand to preserve potency.
California Cured
Threads are dried on-site for unrivaled aroma, deep color, and flavor you can trust as 100% US-grown.
The Sunshine Spice

Millennia of tradition meet modern wellness science. Each benefit card reveals as you scroll, mirroring how saffron slowly releases its color into a bloom.
