1 lb box of White Sage Clusters (450 g)

Size: 1 lb / 16 ounce box (450 grams)

Size of box: About 28 x 20 x 20 cm

Country of origin: California, USA

This box consists of white sage clusters combined with some smaller leaves. The quality is great. It is harvested environmentally (see below for more info on Juniper Ridge and their excellent methods). 

The clusters range in size from smaller ones with just a few leaves on up to much larger pieces. Included also are some single leaves, but these are more the minority.

We bring in large amounts of this white sage and repackage into these boxes. If you have not bought white sage before we'd advise buying a 1 lb bag or a smudge stick first. These boxes are really for those that know they burn a lot, or for gatherings or to share with friends.

The smell of the sage in the box is divine, and the box helps to keep the sage fresh. The box itself is really a standard cardboard box. Nothing fancy. But we use a box rather than a bag to help protect the sage once we send it.

About Californian White Sage
The home of Californian white sage (Salvia Alpine), a scrub plant with spiky flowers, is along the sun-washed coastline of Southern California. 

Sage is a cleansing and purifying herb and can be used to help break up feelings of negativity. Traditionally, it's regarded as being able to open people up and bring about the ability to have a greater connection with the sacred world. 

Its properties make it ideal for use in cleansing and clearing ceremonies of people, places and objects, as well as for meditation or prayer. People wanting to build a closer spiritual connection may also benefit from burning or carrying the herb.

More About Juniper Ridge
Juniper Ridge began in 1998, when founder Hall Newbegin started selling his handmade products at a farmers' market in Berkeley, California. Inspired by the mountains, forests and deserts of the American West, the company creates natural aromatic products that celebrate the beauty of the great outdoors.

Juniper Ridge is passionate about using natural ingredients and protecting the wilderness that inspires its products. Depending on the ingredient, its materials are sustainably harvested from the wild or responsibly cultivated. For example, since 2022, all of Juniper Ridge's white sage products have been made using sustainably cultivated white sage, grown by its farming partners on a family-owned farm in Baja California.

Where wild harvesting takes place, Juniper Ridge takes care to minimise its impact on the environment. Its harvesting practices include carefully pruning plants and trees rather than damaging their roots, allowing them to continue growing, and returning to harvesting locations to monitor their condition.

Juniper Ridge also supports wilderness conservation through its Western Wilderness Defense Fund, donating 10% of its profits or 1% of its sales, whichever is greater, to organisations working to protect and preserve the natural landscapes of the American West.
