Sovereign Vigilance · Golden Armour · Fierce Protection
 
Griffin is an herbal blend inspired by the formidable, sharp-eyed presence of the mythic griffin—guardian of hidden gold, protector of sacred boundaries, and master of both sky and stone.
 
Created to evoke a sense of grounded vigilance and protective strength, Griffin is bold, earthy, aromatic, and radiantly warm. It carries the atmosphere of high mountain peaks, sun-warmed stone, golden fields, and the steady presence of a guardian standing watch over what is precious.
 
A blend for moments when you want to fortify your boundaries, summon inner courage, protect your peace, and stand firmly in your own power.
 
Sensory Profile: A deep golden-amber infusion with a dry, aromatic mountain-herbal character that settles into roasted earth and warm spice. Bright citrus-mineral notes lift the opening, followed by peppery herbs and a subtle aromatic fire that gradually softens into a smooth, grounded finish.
 
Affirmation: Boundaries are sovereign
 
Key Botanical History
Greek Mountain Tea / Ironwort (Sideritis scardica) grows in the high, rocky mountains of Greece and the Balkans, landscapes that echo the remote mountain regions traditionally associated with the Griffin and its guarded treasures. Sideritis itself has ancient Greek roots, with the plant known to classical writers and associated with iron, weapons, and the healing of wounds.
 
Bay Laurel (Laurus nobilis) Ancient Greek art depicts Apollo riding a griffin while holding a laurel branch, linking the plant directly with the mythic creature in classical imagery. Laurel was also sacred to Apollo and became a longstanding symbol of victory, honor, and sacred authority.
