The source

Inside the Sicilian citrus groves

Carmelo's blood oranges grow in the foothills of Mount Etna, sharing the groves with his autumnal green mandarins. Spring solstice marks the start of blood orange season, and we were there at exactly the right time.

He's a real character. Though he hardly spoke a word of English, beaming pride is the same in every language.

Carmelo's Blood Oranges

Not all blood oranges are the same. The Moro is the darkest variety, and the most intensely flavoured. It only develops that characteristic deep colour and berry-like sweetness in very specific conditions: volcanic soil, cold nights, and the dramatic temperature swings of a Sicilian spring.

At peak ripeness, when the gap between day and night is widest, the Moro produces anthocyanin, the compound that gives it its hue and depth. That window is short. We work with Natoora, who have known Carmelo for nearly 20 years, to make sure we have the fruit at exactly the right moment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Kombucha is fermented tea thought to have originated two thousand years ago. When properly brewed it is a delicious, slightly fizzy and refreshing soft drink that is low in sugar and naturally contains live cultures and organic acids.

Kombucha is made of four simple ingredients: tea, water, sugar and a SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast). During fermentation, the yeasts consume the sugar and produce alcohol, then the bacteria consume this alcohol to produce the acids that give kombucha its tangy flavour.
