Somage began on a terrace in Melbourne, where two minds contemplated new methodologies in beverage creation. This united approach values sourcing genuine ingredients and enhancing their inherent qualities through a blend of innovative techniques and enduring, worldly expertise.
Without the constraints of conforming to a specific category, Somage can be described as a beverage maker that encompasses all aspects of the plant. With each ingredient sourced directly, it allows for a direct contribution to the land and growers. Then, back in Melbourne, both new and old-world techniques bring balance and complexity to the blends, all while honoring the essence of where the ingredients are from.
Passed through many hands to arrive in yours, they are ready to be transformed once more.
