CUBAN OREGANO

Scientific name

Plectranthus amboinicus

 

Description

The leaf that smells from afar

Its fleshy leaves seem to hold the sun.
Simply touching them releases an intense, warm, almost surprising scent.
It's a plant adopted by rural homes: it grows in courtyards, on windowsills, and in terracotta pots.
It's not native to this area, yet it has found a home here.

Curiosity

It was passed down through many families as a "companion" plant:
used to perfume rooms, soothe sore throats, and flavor meats.

Olfactory stimulus

A balsamic and bold aroma, with notes reminiscent of oregano and mint.
It's a scent that lingers, filling the air and inviting you to come closer.

Touch a leaf and listen to its aromatic tale.
