Our Ingredients
Below is a glossary of the ingredients that go into making our all natural and organic health drinks.
We have a strict code of conduct that our suppliers must adhere to. A copy of this can be found here
Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha is an ancient medicinal herb native to India and northern Africa with multiple health benefits. It is often used to reduce anxiety and stress, lower blood sugar levels and cholesterol as well as increasing brain function and memory.
Assam tea
Our organic hand rolled whole leaf Assam tea is produced by a co-operative of 6 small scale tea growers in India. They harvest the finest Assam tea and in turn are paid fairly helping to bring sustainability to their rural community.
Cane sugar
Raw cane sugar from the Native Green Cane Project in Brazil. The Green Cane Project, launched in 1987, is the largest sustainable agriculture project in the world . The organic production of Native Cane Sugar creates ideal living conditions for more than 340 different species of mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians. To them, sustainable agriculture is the one that generates biodiversity by restoring the ecological balance at the farms, exerting positive social and economic impact on the community.
Chamomile
Chamomile is a calming flower that can help reduce anxiety, increase immunity, aid in digestion and regulate blood sugar. Chamomile contains flavonoids that are a type of nutrient present in many plants, and they play a significant role in chamomile’s medicinal effects.
Echinacea
Echinacea is a plant native to North America and is packed full of antioxidants. It has been shown to boost the immune system, act as an anti-inflammatory, reduces blood sugar levels and helps to relieve feelings of anxiety.
French oak
Our kombucha is fermented with French oak. Although labour intensive and costly this results in a healthy kombucha with a depth of flavour that is impossible to replicate using industry standard production methods.
Rooibos tea
Rooibos tea is naturally caffeine free. Rich in antioxidants that help protect the skin and reduce inflammation. Rooibos is particularly low in tannins. This makes it a good choice for those who prefer a milder tasting tea or for those who experience digestive problems following the consumption of tannin-rich drinks.
Rose
Roses contain powerful antioxidants that help neutralize free radicals and contribute to good health. The edible petals are also high in vitamin C.
Sencha green tea
Our organic Chinese sencha green tea is produced by a committed network of 9 small-scale organic producers from a region famous for porcelain and high quality tea. Sencha green tea is not treated or processed in any way therefore it better retains its nutrients and active ingredients. It is high in antioxidants and is thought to be very good for stimulating the metabolism.
S.C.O.B.Y.
Our kombucha is created by combining organic tea, organic cane sugar and a SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast). A SCOBY is the living home for the good bacteria and yeast that transform sweet tea into tangy fizzy kombucha. Our SCOBY's are all grown in house and unlike many commercial breweries we don't cut corners by using off the shelf starter liquids.
White peony tea
Our organic white peony tea from Vietnam is a very special Fairtrade White tea. Some of the wild trees from which the tea is harvested are thought to be more than 300 years old. They have deep roots which are able to access minerals in the soil which give the tea its characteristic flavour. White Peony tea is minimally processed and thus doesn't undergo a long oxidation process. Rich in antioxidants and a particular amino acid L-theanine that can reduce stress and anxiety.
