Most sugarcane juice sold outside Taita-Taveta has travelled a while before it reaches a glass — bottled, sometimes diluted, sometimes sweetened further to make up for what was lost along the way.

Ours is pressed to order from raw cane, so the sweetness in your glass is exactly what was in the stalk that morning. Nothing is added, and nothing needs to be, because fresh cane is naturally sweet enough on its own.

Add a little lime and ginger and you get a sharper, brighter version of the same drink — still just cane, lime, and ginger, nothing else.
