How our ginger grows

Two small family farms grow our ginger. We tasted root from farms across Thailand before we settled on them, and nothing else came close. Both are worked by the people who own the land.

What sets those two sites apart is the ground itself: loose, free-draining soil, enough altitude to cool the nights, and a rainy season long enough for the rhizome to fill out slowly. Ginger takes about a year to mature, and none of that can be hurried.

The two farms

Pressed the same week

The root is pressed in the same week it comes out of the ground.

Higher ground

Cooler nights, and the ginger fills out more slowly. It comes up with more heat in it.

01

Two farms, not a market

Every bottle traces back to one of those two farms. We do not buy from wholesale ginger markets, so nothing anonymous gets in.

02

The land does the work

Soil, altitude and climate decide a ginger’s character long before we do. These two sites give heat and aroma we could not find elsewhere.

03

Root and nothing else

What reaches our kitchen in Chiang Mai is the ginger as it came out of the ground.

What we are about

Decided early, not traded away

A fixed sugar level, batch to batch, so the drink you loved last time tastes the same next time, whether you mix it at home or pour it behind a bar.

No middlemen

We buy from the growers directly. Nothing passes through a broker, so the margin stays with the people who dug it.
