Red rhubarb stalks growing in a field

Ingredients

British fruit, sustainable botanicals

Handmade with British fruit, brought together with botanicals sourced for provenance, traceability and a fair price.

Wild harvested

Wherever possible our ingredients grow naturally in the wild and are handpicked from their native ecosystems, responsibly gathered to protect the landscapes they come from.

Organic

Organic ingredients give the cleanest taste of each botanical, free of any nasties.

A fair price

Ethical and not price led. Provenance, traceability and a fair price, which means a fair wage, are at the heart of how we source.

  • Sipello's ruby liquid seen through the cut glass of the bottle

    Kent

    Gooseberry

    Delicate and notoriously stubborn, so capturing its character took a great deal of experimentation. Much of our fruit is sourced through a strawberry farmer in Kent, who trades her strawberries with neighbouring farms that grow the fruits we use.

  • Red rhubarb stalks growing in a field

    Herefordshire, Yorkshire and Kent

    Rhubarb

    Handpicked from farms across three corners of England. We use a spread of farms so typically English, inclement weather never decides a batch. Our rhubarb is Red Tractor certified.

  • Blue gentian flowers on an alpine slope

    Queyras National Park, French Alps

    Gentian

    A sustainably grown, protected species, wild harvested under licence in the Queyras National Park in the south east of France.

  • Leaves and a round orange flower of the cinchona tree

    Ecuador

    The fever tree

    The cinchona tree is native to the eastern slopes of the Andes. Ours is wild harvested in Ecuador. The quinine that comes from cinchona is the key ingredient in tonic water.

  • A stone bowl of red sandalwood chips

    Gabon

    Red sandalwood

    Wild harvested in Gabon, on the Atlantic coast of Central Africa. It is slow to grow, so it is limited in availability.

  • Bergamot citrus fruit

    Calabria, Italy

    Organic bergamot oil

    Our citrus note comes from the hills of Calabria in southern Italy. The fruit is still collected by hand so the peel is not bruised into releasing its oil too early. Locals call the filtered oil the liquid gold of Calabria.

  • Orris root, the root of the iris flower

    Florence, Italy

    Orris root

    The root of the iris flower, and the foundation that lets all the others be at their best. Tim's grandmother was called Iris, and she played the same role in his life.

  • Clusters of white elderflower blossom

    Britain and Albania

    Elderflower and wormwood

    British elderflower blossom is always a sign that summer is on the way. We clean and dry it, then steep it for four days. Wormwood doesn't grow in the UK, so ours is wild harvested under licence in Albania by local villagers, near Gramsh and Lenie in Elbasan county.

  • Linden blossom on the branch

    Lime tree blossom

    Linden flower

    Harvested from the lime or basswood tree, linden flowers are celebrated for their delicate floral scent and are usually brewed into a soothing herbal tea.

  • Ripe grain in a field

    The base

    Our spirit

    We use grain spirit as our base, much like most British gins, because its neutral flavour lets our eccentric botanicals show their flavours unhindered.
