Gear 1 4Real African Bitters

Gear 1 4Real African Bitters is blended from roots, bark, leaf and herb extracts. Here is what goes into the bottle and what each part brings to the taste.

  • Caramel Herbal Flavour Extract — 10%
    Gives the blend its dark colour and a rounded, faintly sweet note that sits underneath the bitterness.
  • Aloe — 15%
    A succulent used in traditional preparations across Africa for generations. It adds body and a clean, faintly vegetal edge.
  • Water
    The base of the blend, used to extract and carry the botanical infusion.
  • Khaya Ivorensis — 10%
    African mahogany, a West African hardwood whose bark has long been used in traditional bitters. It carries the deep, woody bitterness at the centre of the drink.
  • Soma Leaf
    A traditional herb included for its aromatic character, lending a green, herbal top note.
  • Rhuherbs Root — 7%
    A bitter root long used in herbal preparations. It adds sharpness and length to the finish.

Taste: dark, bitter and aromatic, with caramel rounding the edges — the profile anyone raised on African bitters recognises straight away.

Dosage: One or half bottle daily. Shake well before use.
