We make aromatic products, teach the craft of distillation and extraction, and partner with others to develop products of their own.
The lab is open, Come and see how it’s done.
Our Story
We utilize the intelligence of plants and people to create.
A plant doesn’t have to be of great beauty to be exalted into an aroma, it has to be understood. It’s about developing a deep intimacy with that plant, then exploring every method of extraction to discover the possibilities it holds.
In the lab we use both ancient and modern extraction techniques. These processes have the power to turn something that is base or unappreciated into something rare and beautiful. And we want to share these processes and knowledge with you.
Online Courses
Accessible, practical and fun
The distillation of hydrosols, essential oils, and alcohol are fundamental processes in the extraction, refinement and use of aromatic botanicals. These techniques are the gateways to working with natural flavour and aroma.
We’ve specially designed these online courses for anyone who wants to learn how to distil at home, or in their business or practice. If you are just getting started we can guide you through which still to use, and show you proper set up and cleaning protocols. For those of you already distilling we’ll open up new directions for you to explore, and expand your knowledge and practice.
