In the world of St-Germain, liqueur is created in French artisanal manner from freshly picked elderflower.
History
Ironically, for a liqueur which is meant to stop time in order to savour the moment, St Germain debuts as a race against time. This is due to the fact that there are only a few passing weeks of spring, when fresh and wild elderflower can be picked for St Germain.
In the European folklore, the elder tree is considered a celebrity. Elderflower extracts and oils have been used for centuries for medicinal and mystical purposes. A guardian angel plant, we could say.
