Wild-foraged vs. Organic

We take pride in the fact that our alcohol-free Ceybon AF aperitifs contain a mix of the highest quality organic and wild-foraged ingredients. The difference between these two types of ingredients is simple: Organic herbs are cultivated according to USDA organic guidelines, while wild-foraged herbs are found and harvested in natural ecosystems. A note on wild-foraged herbs: we do our research to make sure these plants are harvested ethically, with sustainability and ecological health in mind!

Wild-foraged Herb Spotlight: Chaparral

Chaparral, also known as creosote to non-herbalists, is a desert shrub, growing wildly and abundantly in the Chihuahuan, Sonoran, and Mojave deserts. The small resinous leathery leaves give off a special desert-rain scent when showers finally arrive in desert ecosystems, and the yellow flowers are a key resource for countless native bees. Chaparral herb has traditionally been used for its strong anti-microbial properties to treat infections of all kinds - bacterial, fungal, and viral - topically and, in small doses, internally. In addition, this incredible desert herb is a powerful antioxidant, decreasing inflammation and promoting healthy digestion by toning the liver. Wild-foraged chaparral is a delicious addition to our Ceybon Happy AF aperitifs!
