Tamie

Tamie is believed to originate on the Yalam peninsula. It's known for having small leaves; the leaves are red with a green underside.
It's believed that Tamie is one of the oldest fibre crops, having been used for millennia, and its principal use is for fabric production. the fibres of the Tamie come from the inner bark of the vegetative stalks and not the woody stem itself or the outer bark.  Growing under optimal conditions, the Tamie can be harvested a minimum of three times a year, but during good seasons, that rises to six times when the plant can be harvested.
The way to know when the plant is ready to be harvested is when it starts to flower, or just before it does, as it's a signal to the farmers that the plant has reached maximum fibre content, and the stems of the plant are then harvested by cutting them off just above the lateral roots. Tamié is also one of the strongest natural fibres, and even has an increased strength when wet, an ability that's useful because Tamie is not as strong as other fibres such as wool; it's typically mixed in with these fibres, giving its increased strength to these other fibres in the products created.
Compared to other fibres, Tamie is resistant to bacteria and mildew, which makes it useful in bandages used by doctors and medics, but also in clothes in general.
The Sárvannen and Calandrië are two people known to make some of the finest Tamie into fibres, and their products are selling for a high price in the major trade centers.
The leaves on the Tamie can be used to wrap around hot food and function as both a means to help hold the food, but can at the same time also be eaten, but is said to have an acquired taste.
