we actively choose local suppliers and ingredients for any new product we launch.
​
this includes locally hand foraged produce which others might consider waste.
​
in late 2024 we will commence sourcing waste produce from manchester bars to repurpose into delicious sustainable liquids.
we choose low weight solutions for our taster kits, with a goal of reducing shipping carbon.
​
they are packaged in the waste paper from our sugar, which goes into our liqueurs.
​
we do still use recycled plastic wrap for our wholesale orders. we are searching for a solution for this and welcome contact from suppliers who might have an answer.
