Material
Stackable
Tied with brown twine, the bundle hangs upside down from a rafter long enough to dry without shedding color, each stem a different grey-green tone of the same family. The scent clings to hands for the rest of the afternoon.

Chronicle
Cut from the hedge-rows behind kitchen gardens at first light, when the oils are still carrying the water of the morning and before the sun starts pulling them off. Cooks and alchemists buy from the same growers and argue, politely, over which bundles are worth the higher price. A well-dried bundle keeps flavor for six months and memory for considerably longer, which is why the jar of old herbs at the back of the shelf is the one the family never quite finishes.
