Harvest 2025
Scroll to steep
One thread colours a litre.
01 — The Harvest
Harvested at first light in the high fields of Khorasan, where the crocus opens for a single week each year. Each stigma is lifted by hand, never cut, and dried in shade the same morning it is picked.
It takes one hundred and fifty thousand flowers to fill a kilogram — and a single thread to colour a litre of water gold.
