1) Product description

Organic Clove tree from Madagascar is an evergreen tree, it has soft grey bark and dark green ovate leaves with shiny, leathery texture. At beginning of the rainy season fragrant, green buds appear at the end of the branches. They gradually turn red and if left unpicked, develop into pink or crimson flowers.

Cloves are the dried, unopened flower buds of the evergreen clove tree. This small reddish-brown flower bud resembles a tiny nail head.
