History

The botanical collection, is brewed with 50% of locally produced verbena from a garden in a south west Amsterdam and 50% of sencha. Verbena has just over 140 species, making it a staple ingredient in herbal infusions, traditional remedies and even liqueurs such as the famous Verveine du Vellay. Originating from Latin America, it likely made its way to Europe around 1780 passing through Portugal. The other half of this blend is none other than a Japanese sencha. It will add elements of elegance, depth and structure while also ensuring a crucial counterbalance in our brewing colony. Sencha dominates 80% of Japan's tea production, distinguished by its unique roasting method involving steaming and rolling the leaves into fine needles, a process repeated thrice

Design

Collaborating with Sylvain, we opted for this iconic blend to portray an epic clash between the ancient symbolism of verbena embodied in the Egyptian falcon and a free-spirited representation of the Japanese mamushi pit viper, locked in combat over the rising sun.
