Ajo Sacha
The keeper of clear air
Nature of the plant
Ajo Sacha is a climbing liana of Amazonia. When its leaves are crushed, they smell of garlic – hence its name, «wild garlic». Its funnel-shaped flowers open violet and grow lighter over time. In Amazonian plant medicine it is regarded as a cleansing teacher that drives away heaviness and clears the head.

Ajo Sacha is fresh and direct. It says what is and clears things up. Its clarity is tart, but friendly.
