The "Bractées surchoix" linden is a specialty variety of linden from high quality. The linden tree is common throughout France. Its soothing properties make it a popular ingredient in both therapeutic and culinary applications.

In fact, it has many uses:

• Rope Factory : The inner bark is used to make high-quality string or rope
• Perfume Shop : There are dozens, if not hundreds, of different linden scents, making it a popular choice in the world of perfumery
• Medicinal : Linden is one of the 34 over-the-counter medicinal plants available in France. Since ancient times, linden has been valued for its antispasmodic, calming, and sedative properties.

The "Tilleul Bractées Surchoix France" linden is a high-quality variety grown in the Drôme, Vaucluse, Hautes-Alpes, and Basses-Alpes regions. Highly regarded, it is particularly prized for its flowers and bractss (a leaf-shaped floral structure that is part of the inflorescence).

Did you know? Since the 19th century, the town of Buis-les-Baronnies in the Drôme Provençale region has been the world capital of linden. Since then, the French village has lost its title to fierce Chinese competition. However, Buis-les-Baronnies continues to account for 70% of the nation’s linden production.
