Essentiel Hop

Located in the heart of the Lake District, we gather wild plants and grow aromatic and medicinal plants using organic farming methods.
We then gently distil them using steam distillation to obtain authentic essential oils and hydrolats that are 100% pure and natural.

We also offer hydrolades: a low-sugar lemonade with hydrolats!

We also grow organic hops for our local brewers, as well as aromatic vegetable plants and flowers in the spring.

Come and discover the magical world of plant distillation and the mysterious alchemy of this process.

The workshop/shop is open every Wednesday from 4pm to 7pm from mid-June to mid-September, with free access.
Visits are possible outside these times by appointment. Don't hesitate to give us a call.

Free public distillation. Dates to be consulted on our website, News page or on our Facebook page.

We look forward to talking to you about plants!

Paul and Clémentine
