The company was founded in 1985 in Bellino, a pristine village in the upper Varaita Valley at 1,500 meters above sea level — a jewel of alpine architecture where humans and nature coexist in perfect harmony.
Dedicated to the cultivation, drying, and processing of organically grown medicinal herbs, it is now based in Melle, in the mid Varaita Valley. Well known for its prized “mountain herbal teas,” the Valverbe agricultural cooperative operates with a unique supply chain model that covers every step — from cultivation to the finished, filter-packed product.
Valverbe’s herbs — organic, non-GMO, and freshly harvested — are dried using an innovative “open-cell” system that preserves their natural properties.
This process removes water from the plants while keeping the cell membrane intact, along with the active ingredients, aroma, and fragrance — a true revolution compared to traditional drying methods, with results you can both see and taste!
Once rehydrated, these herbs swell and regain the firmness of fresh plants, creating the ideal conditions for effective extraction when brewing the herbal tea.
Valverbe is involved in the whole production chain, from the cultivation of the herbs to the finished product, ensuring continual control over all stages of the production cycle, including the more delicate ones such as harvesting the herbs at the balsamic time and drying.
The herbs are dried using an innovative, technological CFT plant that allows for “open cell” dehydration. This process, because it does not cause the cell membrane to rupture, preserves all its properties intact in the dried plant, allowing, with rehydration, the turgidity of the fresh plant to be restored, benefiting the quality of the infusion.
Each teabag and its tag are connected by an organic cotton thread. This choice reflects the company’s philosophy about customer care and it is also a coherent response to the fact that conventional cotton is one of the world’s most chemically intensive crop, while heavy metals and highly toxic mineral oils are often used as part of the cotton dyeing process.
In the Alpine valleys surrounding the Monviso VALVERBE grows, dries and packages its filtered herbal teas.
The reduction of bacterial load in our blends is achieved through an innovative dry sanitization technique. The product is overheated in a tunnel at 85°C, reducing the bacterial load without damaging the product.
VALVERBE installed a 27 KWP photovoltaic system, so that the energy required for drying the herbs and packaging does not contribute to the increase of pollution: ORGANIC and ECO-FRIENDLY herbal teas.
Our teabags are sealed without glue or metal staples
