Mountain Thyme
Hand-picked from the sun-warmed ridges above Kočevje, where the wind carries the scent of resin and wild grasses. Bright, earthy and warming — a tea that tastes like a slow walk through the hills.

A Castleabove the forest.
Hidden on a mountain above Kočevje, where mist, stone and pine have kept watch for centuries.
⛰
01
The Mountain
Built on a steep ridge, the castle rises from the rock itself — a silhouette cut against the Kočevje sky.
🌲
02
The Forest
Around it, one of Europe's oldest primeval forests breathes — endless spruce, fir and the quiet footfall of brown bears.
⏳
03
The Year
First mentioned in the records of the 14th century, it has survived empires, fire, and the slow patience of moss.

Linden Blossom
Gathered by hand in the brief June bloom, when the village trees fill the air with honey. Soft, golden, calming — traditionally brewed at the first sign of a cold or sleepless night.
Bio · Kočevje
Pine Shoot Syrup
Tender spring shoots layered with raw sugar and rested in glass for weeks, until they release a clear, resinous syrup. A spoonful in hot water — and the forest is in your kitchen.

Yarrow
A roadside healer, gathered in full sun. Bitter and aromatic, yarrow has been used for centuries to support digestion, ease colds and clear the head. Earthy, herbal, deeply traditional.

Wild Mint
Picked along the brooks of the Kočevje forest, where it grows in the cool shade of beech roots. Cooler and softer than garden mint — perfect with cold water on a hot afternoon, or in evening tea.

St. John's Wort Oil
Flowers picked at the summer solstice, macerated for forty days under the sun until the oil turns deep ruby red. Traditionally used to soothe skin, calm bruises and ease tired muscles.
