OUR ADVENTURE

Pleased to meet you!

As true foodies, we love discovering new flavours and experimenting in the kitchen with exotic ingredients. Our favourite moment of the day is clearly aperitivo! Sharing a blissful moment with others is indispensable for us. The mix of both makes the right cocktail to excel in drinks that will make your tastebuds swing!

It all started with a home-made product backed by the vision to change the norm.

Our first ginger elixir saw the light in 2018 when we met at university and shared our passions. It was love at first sip... Our enthusiasm for this almighty root grew even more as we implemented it into our daily food habits. But it was only until the lockdown (2020) that we deep-dived into the Jamu medicine to find natural ways to boost our immunity and energy levels. Beginning of 2021, we finally decided to fine-tune our original recipe, take the leap, and share our magical elixirs with you. With the same passion and care, we now offer our tongue-tickling power drinks to as many health champions as possible.

A healing boost that makes every heart beat faster!

Made with love,


THAT'S NOT IT!

But, we wanted to take it a step further when we discovered that 50% of those magical ingredients get thrown away during production. Thus, the eco-warriors in us explored solutions to reuse our pulp and turn it into delicious by-products. Just for you and with respect to our beloved Earth.

We first press our freshly harvested organic ingredients. We then mix all the juice together in a big barrel and bottle them with care in our quality glass bottles.

After pressing the juices we recycle all the pulp and fibers (coming out of our press machine) in big containers. Did you know that this "food waste" represents 50% of the ingredients used for making our drinks? Those pulp, fibers, and skin are full of good stuff, and we didn't want to throw that amount of goodness in the garbage.

We then freeze-dry all pulp and fibers and mix them together so they are ready to get a second life.
