Golden Green of Cypress

Cypress keeps me amazed. Each and every individual encounter with this impressive evergreen tree pulls me to reach out for a gentle touch. He is caring and never lets me go empty-handed… generously sharing his pure, woody, strong yet gentle aroma. Some pictures here that I recently captured on a hiking tour in the mountains of Lefka Ori (means White Mountains in Greek). Plenty of other pics from previous years, complete with personal stories on harvest, distillation and more are awaiting for discovery at Cypress, the tree that keeps us together.
