FEVER TREE
PREMIUM INDIAN TONIC WATER (4x200ml)
We use fruit sugars to develop our lighter tonic water. The blending of subtle botanical flavours with spring water and highest-quality quinine gives it the distinctively clean, crisp character of Indian Tonic Water, but with 46% fewer calories.
TASTE
Our Refreshingly Light Indian Tonic Water uses a handful of different botanicals, including our distinctive quinine and oils from Mexican Bitter Oranges, to give a uniquely clean and refreshing taste and aroma.
KEY INGREDIENTS
The story of Fever-Tree is one of a pursuit for the best. 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 travelling to the ends of the earth to get hold of them. Our Indian Tonic Water still uses quinine from the deep forests of the Democratic Republic of Congo, found by Charles and Tim on one of their first trips. Our Refreshingly Light Indian Tonic Water uses fruit sugar to provide the traditional sweet balance to the bitterness of the quinine.
ABOUT THE QUININE
Cinchona ledgeriana
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO
Quinine is the key ingredient that creates the gentle bitterness in tonic water. Our 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.
BITTER ORANGE
Citrus aurantium
MEXICO
It is these trees that bear the fruit from which we extract the finest orange oils.
