How it started

We saw a gap
and went for it.

We get the bottles from Aryeh at Phia restaurant — reclaimed 1907 sparkling water glass, 750ml, shout out to Lucas for making that happen. The hospitality industry moves a huge amount of these through and most of them get used once before disappearing, so we thought that was worth doing something about.

We started collecting from Phia, brewing fresh citrus ice tea, filling them up and building a return system around it — bring your bottle back and you get a discount on the next one. We're not claiming it's a revolution, we just saw a gap and took the opportunity, and now we're trying to scale it properly and build something that actually lasts.

If you're signing up in the first hundred, you're one of our first proper customers and we don't take that lightly. We're genuinely looking to the West Auckland community to be part of what this becomes, and it means a lot to have you here from the start.

The Recipe

No secret knowledge.
Here's exactly how we do it.

Knowledge should be free. This is the full process — nothing held back.

01

The Citrus

Fresh Auckland lemons, zested and infused into a sugar concentrate for the aromatics. Then the juice goes back in at the end to balance everything out — brightness from the zest, acidity from the juice.

02

The Tea

Black tea from Refill Nation in Titirangi Village, cold-infused for 30 hours. No heat, no shortcuts. Just the right depth of tannin to hold its own against the citrus.

03

The Blend

Citrus concentrate meets cold-brew tea, seasoned with a little citric acid for balance. No preservatives. Nothing you couldn't find in a kitchen.

04

Into the Bottle

Pasteurised above 80°C, filled straight into the reclaimed 1907 bottles, capped immediately. Heat does the preservation. Once the cap goes on, it's done.

The Loop

A cycle that
rewards return.
