Censer LeAnn #6

The Vessels Collection

Named for an incense burner, a fruited blending that includes the following aromatics: Coriander, Mace and Cassis.

From the sultry forests of Sumatra came the fruit of a small evergreen tree, the seed or nut of which would become the rage for the rich of the medieval period. Nutmeg was used in all manner of ways and in high demand. But even more desired was the MACE, the scented and succulent netting case that held the seed in place inside its fruit.

The Roman statesman Pliny the Elder declared that the best CORIANDER came only from Egypt. The small round seeds are at first intensely acrid but over time become more and more tasteful and fragrant, so much so they become almost addictive.

In 1309 Clement V set out to take new residence at the Palace of Avignon. His long journey followed the fragrant blackcurrant hedgerows of southern France. Here the berry clusters perfume the air with a heady fruited scent. The tiny black-red berries form the basis for CASSIS that is a delicious cordial unique to the region.
