Our History – From Volos to Europe

It all began in Volos, a coastal city in Greece. There, Michael, a dentist with a strong interest in natural prevention, met Emanouil, a phytotherapist with deep knowledge of Mediterranean medicinal plants.

Conversations about botany, phytotherapy, and holistic well-being sparked a friendship, which years later, upon reuniting, blossomed into a shared vision: not just to market plants, but to honor them.

This vision led to the founding of Anthos Botanicals SCE as a European cooperative with a clear stance on quality, origin, and responsibility.


Why we work as a cooperative

We have consciously decided against a traditional, profit-driven business model.

As a European cooperative, we stand for:

  • Responsibility instead of short-term profit maximization

  • Transparent supply chains instead of anonymous raw material procurement

  • Participation instead of dependency

  • Reinvestment in people, regions, and quality

Our goal is a sustainable economic cycle that benefits everyone involved. From the field to the finished product.


Our work with plants

Origin & Cultivation

Our herbs come from their natural home, primarily Greece.
We work with farmers who practice organic farming methods and share our values. Especially in rural regions of Thessaly, we create fair, long-term prospects.

Processing & Quality

Our teas, herbs, and essential oils are processed in our own or closely affiliated facilities. Every stage of production (harvesting, drying, distillation, and bottling) is traceable and transparent.

Food-grade essential oils

Wherever possible, we offer essential oils in food grade.
This is not a given and requires the highest standards for plant material, distillation processes, and analysis. We consistently refrain from using synthetic additives, artificial flavors, and opaque mixtures.


Responsibility & Legal Notice

Our products are intended for aroma care and culinary use.
In accordance with § 12 of the German Health Products Act (HWG), we make no health-related claims. Traditional uses described are not a substitute for medical advice.

All content provided is for informational purposes only. If you have any health concerns, please consult a doctor you trust.


Who we work for

Our offerings are aimed at people who make conscious decisions:
independent thinkers, quality-oriented, and open to nature-connected, responsible alternatives to the conventional food industry.

We also see our work as knowledge work. The content on this website is based on careful study, observation, and practical experience in working with plants.
