Everything about fennel is good, from the bulb to the plume. But it's only the seeds that our master infusers select for their powerful, aniseed flavor. Les 2 Marmottes works directly with a family farm in Provence, which has been growing fennel for three generations.

What are the benefits of fennel in infusions?
The benefits of this perennial plant were already being fought over in Rome, where the fennel crown was awarded to the best gladiator. Infused hot or cold, fennel seeds are our digestive system 's best friends.
3 cups a day are enough to achieve the digestive effect, and without caffeine ! Fennel infusions are also known to promote breastfeeding . However, be careful with people who are hypersensitive to umbellifers.

What fennel is used in Les 2 Marmottes infusions?
Les 2 Marmottes works directly with a family farm in Provence , which has been growing fennel for 3 generations. We know where our little seeds come from and we are proud of it.
Fennel and Les 2 Marmottes have a long history. Our master infusers have a soft spot for its seeds and their subtle aniseed flavor, which bring freshness in summer when brewed cold, and comfort in winter when brewed hot.
Inside every flower, there is a seed. A group of flowers forms an umbel, similar to a yellow umbrella. Umbel, umbrella, umbrella (ha…ha….hey….hey..), to protect its seeds from the sun necessary for flowering but which must not burn them either. A subtle balance that we manage to achieve with our own plots.
In which recipes do our master infusers use fennel?
Fennel accompanies our recipes from morning to night:
- after a good meal with our Cocktail Digest ,
- and to sleep well with Fée Nuit .
In 100% fennel infusion , it is the ideal after-meal pass, the digestive that you should take a leaf out of to feel light as a feather.
A sure sign: this favorite of our herbarium is present in all our gift boxes ! Anise is green with envy...
Word(s) of the master brewer
"To obtain the best seeds, we have been working directly with the same producer for over 35 years. We cultivate our own plots in the Vaucluse region, on sun-drenched land, where we visit twice a year, at flowering and harvest times. In total, nearly 20 hectares are allocated to Les 2 Marmottes, and after each harvest we keep around 150 kg of seeds that will be used to replant the following year. What we have managed to achieve, year after year, is an aniseed and fresh taste, but not too strong. Some people who don't like fennel appreciate our infusions because of their very subtle aroma. The time of harvest is very important because if the seed "burns," the taste can be astringent, less pleasant in the mouth. Frankly, our fennel is the best, in hot or cold infusion. Period."
