A Trip To China

...It was a place where my digital devices were rendered almost irrelevant, as if the very rhythm of the world slowed down. The houses here were not mere structures; they were designed with purpose—gardens crafted for tea drinking.

Discover the range

Organic & Ethically Sourced

Crafted for baristas, each blend is designed for ease of service, consistency in the cup, and flavour that stands out in busy, quality-focused environments.

Tea

Organic loose leaf and pyramids from single gardens.
From morning service to afternoon tea, our range spans the classics to rare single-origin gardens. Sourced direct, blended at origin, and offered in loose leaf or pyramid formats to suit elevated hospitality.

Matcha

Our matcha range is sourced from certified organic growers in Japan and stone-milled with precision. Smooth, vibrant, and consistent, each grade is selected to meet the needs of modern cafés and discerning guests— from fine latte art to refined ceremonial service.

Drinking Chocolate

Our drinking chocolate range is designed for balance and body — from the smooth Kali 33% to richer dark blends. Each formula is crafted with premium ingredients, consistent texture, and compatibility with both dairy and alt-milks.

Fresh Chai

Blended in-house using biodiverse Sri Lankan organic tea, whole spices freshly milled, fresh ginger and Australian raw honey. Our sticky chai is aromatic, balanced, and ready to brew. No syrups. No shortcuts. Just honest craft and café-ready for the busy barista.

Alternative Latte

Created for wellness-forward menus, our lattes feature vibrant roots and botanicals like beetroot and turmeric, blended without artificial colours or fillers. Designed for baristas, these blends deliver both flavour and visual impact in every cup.

Panela & More

We source premium organic panela and whole spices for their flavour, consistency, and traceable origin. Panela blends seamlessly into coffee without masking nuance, while our spices are trusted by chefs for both sweet and savoury applications.

IMAGINATION, Technique & Flavour Creation

Our purpose-built factory is where the precious ingredients are transformed once more. Handled with meticulous care, these raw materials undergo milling, extraction, blending, tank infusion, or distillation, all dependent on each recipe's unique blend or component.

Milling

A custom-built milling line for precision, incorporating both pin and hammer mills, offers unparalleled control and efficiency in particle size reduction. By integrating these two types of mills, we can achieve precise and consistent particle sizes across a wide range of materials.

The pin mill excels at fine grinding and de-agglomeration, ideal for creating uniform powders, while the hammer mill is perfect for coarse grinding and breaking down tough materials.

Extraction & Infusions

Our techniques in extraction and infusion are designed for optimal total dissolved solids and quality in botanical processing. By combining advanced extraction methods with precision infusion processes, we ensure maximum yield and flavour in our products.

These methods are highly efficient and environmentally friendly, ensuring that our products are pure and free from contaminants.

In our infusion processes, we use precise time and temperature control points to extract the maximum compounds from the botanicals. Whether we're creating herbal teas, aromatic oils, or botanical extracts, our infusion techniques result in products that are rich in flavor and aroma, with the full benefits of the botanicals preserved.

Blending

Our blending techniques are a fusion of art and science, where machinery and recipe development play pivotal roles in creating exceptional blends. We employ state-of-the-art blending equipment, ensuring precision and consistency in every batch. This machinery allows us to mix botanicals with accuracy, ensuring each blend is homogeneous and balanced.

Recipe development is at the heart of our blending process. Our team of experts meticulously craft recipes, selecting botanicals based on flavour profiles, aromas, and health benefits. Our team experiment with different combinations and ratios, striving to create blends that are not only delicious but also beneficial for well-being.

Distillation

Our boutique 300L Steam Distillation system is at the heart of our distillation process, extracting essential oils and hydrosols from locally sourced botanicals. This system is meticulously designed for efficiency and precision, ensuring that we extract the purest and most potent essential oils and hydrosols.

Steam distillation is the preferred method for extracting essential oils and hydrosols, as it preserves the delicate aromas and beneficial properties of the botanicals. Our system uses steam to gently extract these compounds, resulting in oils and hydrosols that are of the highest quality. With our distillation system, we can extract a wide range of essential oils and hydrosols, allowing us to create unique and aromatic products that capture the essence of our local botanicals.

Fermentation

Fermentation is a key process in our botanical production, where natural microorganisms transform raw materials into exquisite flavors and beneficial compounds. We utilize controlled fermentation to enhance the flavor, aroma, and nutritional value of our products, creating unique and complex profiles.

Our fermentation process begins with the selection of premium botanicals, ensuring they are of the highest quality. These botanicals are then carefully fermented under controlled conditions, where temperature, humidity, and time are monitored closely to achieve the desired outcome. Through fermentation, we unlock hidden flavors and aromas, creating products that are rich, nuanced, and full of character. Whether we're fermenting teas, herbs, or spices, our fermentation techniques result in products that are not only delicious but also packed with probiotics and other health-promoting compounds.

Drying & Ageing

For drying spices, we utilize a carefully controlled drying process that preserves the natural oils and flavors of the spices. Our drying methods ensure that the spices are dried evenly and thoroughly, resulting in a product that is vibrant in color and rich in flavor.

Aging teas is a meticulous process that requires patience and expertise. We carefully select teas that are suitable for aging and store them in controlled environments with specific humidity and temperature levels. This allows the teas to develop complex flavors and aromas over time, resulting in a tea that is smooth, mellow, and full-bodied.
