fever tree tonic water

Fever-Tree Premium Tonic Water is made with the finest quinine from central Africa and a touch of Mexican bitter orange for a refreshing, subtle citrus taste and aroma. This Premium Tonic water uses a handful of different botanicals, including their distinctive quinine and oils from Mexican bitter oranges, to give a uniquely clean and refreshing taste and aroma. The story of Fever-Tree is one of a pursuit for the best. The History of Fever-Tree In 2004, unhappy with the poor state of spirit mixers, founders Tim and Charles began trawling through history books and poring over maps to find sources of the very best ingredients, eventually traveling to the ends of the earth to get hold of them. This Indian Tonic Water still uses quinine from the deep forests of the Democratic Republic of Congo, found by Tim and Charles on one of their first trips. Quinine is the key ingredient that creates the gentle bitterness in tonic water. The name was chosen as it is the colloquial name for the cinchona tree, the bark of which produces quinine. After discovering early 17th century references in the British library, Charles and Tim located one of the only remaining plantations of original Cinchona Ledgeriana trees (known locally as "fever trees") which produce some of the highest quality quinine in the world, located in the Democratic Republic of Congo. For Charles and Tim, there was no other option but to source Fever-Tree’s quinine from this area. The bitter orange oils in our range of tonic waters come from a co-operative of small specialist citrus farmers in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. The bitter oranges are grown using Ancient Mayan farming techniques, which revolve around the lunar cycle. It is these trees that bear the fruit from which we extract the finest orange oils.
