Aroma
We look for the fresh, recognizable aroma that makes catnip engaging for many cats.
FROM PLANT TO POUCH
Where Our Catnip Begins
Quality begins before catnip reaches the pouch. It continues through thoughtful selection, careful preparation, and packaging designed with freshness in mind.
HOW WE GROW
Two Paths, One Quality Focus
Pinchnip is developing its own growing capacity while also sourcing additional catnip material from a farm partner. Together, these paths support the leaf-and-flower material we prepare for Pinchnip.
This combination keeps our attention on the qualities that matter in the finished product: aroma, appearance, condition, and careful preparation from plant material to pouch.
WHAT WE LOOK FOR
Quality You Can Experience
Our quality review centers on practical characteristics customers and their cats can experience.
Appearance
Color, texture, and the balance of leaf-and-flower material help us assess each batch before preparation.
Condition
We review incoming material for its overall condition before it moves into our small-batch process.
Clean preparation
Visible stems and excess leafy material are separated during processing for a more flower-forward blend.
WHAT PINCHNIP DOES NOW
How Pinchnip Prepares Catnip
We prepare our catnip in small batches, separating stems, leaves, and flower tops during processing so each product contains the plant material selected for that blend or format. Every batch is reviewed for aroma, appearance, and overall condition before packaging.
We use resealable stand-up pouches designed to help protect aroma and freshness during ordinary shipping and storage. From selecting the material for each product through separation, quality review, and packaging, Pinchnip directly manages the process behind every pouch.
OUR COMMITMENT
Dedicated Pinchnip Farm Property
Pinchnip is committed to establishing dedicated farm property of its own. Expanding our growing capacity will support closer seed-to-pouch oversight while building on the growing work already underway.
We are also committed to developing a giving program for veterinary clinics and humane societies that choose to use catnip for supervised enrichment.
THE PINCHNIP STANDARD
Care at Every Step
From selecting material for aroma, appearance, and condition through small-batch preparation and freshness-focused packaging, each step reflects the quality focus behind the Pinchnip name.
