From the island, into the bottle.
From the tea fields of Pinglin to the bamboo forests of Nantou, each source carries the landscape of Taiwan into the daily ritual.

( 04 ) — Science meets nature
Natural is not vague. It is measured.
Every botanical follows the same path from field to formula — selected for purpose, refined gently, and verified by independent standards before it earns a place in the ritual.
01
Fieldlogged origin
Harvested at source — Pinglin tea, Nantou bamboo, recovered grounds — each lot logged by date and field.
02
Extractcold-pressed
Gentle, low-heat extraction keeps actives whole — nothing harsh, nothing hidden.
03
Formulate16 free
Built to the 16 FREE standard — sixteen high-risk substances excluded from every formula.
04
VerifyASTM D6866
USDA Biobased validation — independent proof, printed on the bottle.
( 05 ) — Circular ingredients
Nothing wasted. Everything considered.
Circularity is how the formulas are designed. What the island gives comes back to it: grounds become caffeine, culms become caps, bottles become bottles again.
The biological cyclediagram 01 — Recoffee
Spent grounds are collected from cafés island-wide, the caffeine recovered for care — and the bottle and bamboo cap decompose back toward the tree.
Bamboo, hand-finishedMoso culms turned and sanded into caps — renewable, compostable, warm to the touch.returns to soil
