We value outstanding quality
"That can mean a lot," you might think now? It does. And we prove it to you: Read more about organic cultivation, preparation ratio, lab tests, and our ecological balance.
Production according to Storl
Especially a lot of product in the product: We use the preparation ratio 1:1 (according to Storl) for all organic wild teasel root full tinctures.
Your safety
Soils and wild teasel plants are regularly tested by external laboratories for harmful substances such as heavy metals.
And everything organic
The teasel roots for our products naturally come from certified organic cultivation and from Germany.
Kardenwelt: Wild teasel in premium quality
Years ago, we were privately looking for a good wild teasel root tincture. We found products with often very weak preparation ratios and thus little root content. So we thought: It can be done better.
There followed a lot of research and some experiments with the wild teasel and the preparation ratio according to Storl, until finally it happened: We were able to produce a genuine wild teasel root full tincture in organic quality. So we first founded the Karden shop – and then today's Kardenwelt.
Here are also the answers to your questions:
- Yes, the organic certification is officially checked on-site annually.
- Yes, the picture shows one of our fields in Bergatreute. It is used exclusively to obtain seeds for our farmers. It was taken in early July. You can tell by the pink ring around the head of the wild teasel.

Why is the preparation ratio so important for your purchasing decision?
For plant extracts, a ratio determines the quality of the extract. More precisely: the preparation ratio between liquid and plant.
A lot of liquid and little plant, for example, result in a weaker extract. In the Kardenwelt, we use liquid and plant in equal volume proportions – this creates a full tincture.
It is important to know that the ratios are not considered by weight, but by volume. For the 1:1 extraction ratio, this means: One liter of carrier liquid must be combined with at least 700 grams of roots.
One more tip: Pay attention to the alcohol content of tinctures made from freshly harvested roots. It’s not decisive but a good indicator. The more freshly harvested roots used in production, the lower the alcohol content usually is in a plant extract.
A lot of effort for a lot of product in the product
Have you ever tried making a plant extract? Then you know well that the mentioned 1:1 extraction ratio is only achieved with great effort.
The graphic shows this clearly:
At the 1:1 extraction ratio, the extraction vessel is filled to the brim with carrier liquid and teasel roots – creating the full tincture. At smaller ratios like 1:2, 1:5, or even 1:10, the vessel is only filled with liquid. The amount of plant material added is significantly less – no full tincture is created.
With our teasel world tinctures, you can be sure: more root in the extract – more root in the product.
Quality also means safety – on all levels
-
Cultivation for your safety
We only work with certified organic farmers, so sustainably. This means, among other things: no chemical pesticides, no monocultures. -
Room for your safety
We process the roots of the wild teasel under clean conditions in specially equipped rooms here in the Allgäu. -
Stainless steel for your safety
We produce the plant extracts exclusively in suitable containers. That’s why we use stainless steel barrels. -
Filters for your safety
We filter the liquid multiple times before filling it. This removes, among other things, earthy suspended particles – keeping the product pure nature. -
Bottles for your safety
We use Meplat bottles to protect the products: stable, medically sterile, with UV protection; also suitable for medications -
Capsules for your safety
We have the finely ground and germ-reduced wild teasel powder filled by a certified German pharmaceutical service provider.
As a family business, we take responsibility
Maybe we have already spoken on the phone or still do? Because Kardenwelt is a family business.
And maybe that's why it is so important to us that we work with impeccable quality. As a family, as a family business, we do everything for Kardenwelt: Each of us takes responsibility for one area of the company. From our point of view, it can't be done any other way if you want to be there for your customers in the field of food and plant products.
For cultivation and harvesting of Wilde Karde, we have therefore defined strict criteria – both for ourselves and for the farmers we work with:
- The cultivation areas are located far from major roads and other disturbances.
- The soils comply with the heavy metal limits applicable to organic farming.
- The Wilde Karde plants grow without chemical pesticides.
- We process the Wilde Karde plants immediately after harvesting.
- We clean the Wilde Karde plants only with water pressure.
This applies without exception and is checked both by us and by external laboratories.
This is how Wilde Karde products arrive safely with you
The best product in the world is worthless if it doesn't arrive safely with you. For this reason, we at Kardenwelt have chosen stable cardboard made from recycled paper.
Fits, wobbles, and has air? Only the first applies to our outer packaging: they fit perfectly to the product, nothing wobbles.
The bottles and jars travel in custom-cut forms that are tailor-made – you can see this in the product images. Thanks to this packaging, the glass product containers are well protected from breaking.
By the way, some shipping providers consider packaging made purely from recycled paper unsuitable in case of damage. Insurance-worthy stability can then only be achieved with a lot of plastic…
We see that differently. And the extremely low damage rate in our shipping proves us right.
And if something doesn't fit, just let us know. We will fix it. Quickly and without bureaucracy.
We thank you for your trust and wish you all the best on your journey!Your Schöfer family from Bergatreute
