This stamp highlights Sage, recognizable by its downy gray-green leaves and its tall purple inflorescences. Considered a “sacred” plant since Antiquity for its multiple benefits, it is widely used in Tunisia, both in infusions and for its aromatic properties. This subject illustrates the excellence of Tunisian flora and raises awareness of the conservation of the ecosystems where these species flourish. The stamp carries a message of valorization of the national botanical heritage, perceived as a health treasure and a strong marker of Mediterranean culture.
