Singapore botanical tonics, cold-extracted from Southeast Asian recipes that Lorin Winata traced back to her family's farmland in Bali.
Lorin Winata was working in venture capital in Singapore, in a job built around client dinners and evening events, and kept finding that the non-alcoholic end of a drinks list came down to water or something very sweet.
What she did about it started at her family's ancestral farmland in Jatiluwih, in Bali, where tonic recipes had been kept on palm leaves. She spent roughly two years on the formulation with a food scientist and an Ayurvedic specialist, working down from a shortlist of more than seventy ingredients traditionally used in Asian tonics to the ones that ended up in the bottle.
Melati is the Indonesian name for white jasmine. The blends are cold-extracted botanical by botanical over several weeks rather than boiled together, then hand-blended in Singapore in small batches.
