The Marula Fruit is hand-picked by 42 different communities in the Limpopo province.
Purchasing Marula Natural Products helps support 2,400 women in the Bushbuckridge area of Limpopo.
Key cornerstones of our Marula Natural Product’s mission are to support Fair Trade, sustainable harvesting and empowering female workers.
The Baobob tree is sometimes called ‘the tree of life’.
Harvesting the baobab fruit takes place during the dry season. The process of drying the fruit is done 100% naturally, by the sun.
The baobab is harvested just once a year. Local women walk through the wild bush collecting the fruit which has fallen from the mighty baobab tree. This fruit is then processed by hand to extract the flesh, which is then dried and ground into a powder.
The leaves of the moringa plant can be harvested after roughly 6-8 weeks after planting.
The leaves grow again after they’ve been harvested, so the tree is self-sustaining, yielding more leaves every two months, year after year.
Lion’s tail is grown on a very small scale on an organic farm.
The leaves are harvested by hand, then are dried and ground into a coarse powder. Native to South Africa, lion’s tail is an upright perennial bush with spikes of brilliant orange flowers and its flavour is similar to mint.
The moringa leaf brings an earthy, grassy scent, with a fresh citrus bite to your palate. The subtle tang of the baobab, sweetness of the marula fruit and minty lift from the lion’s tail contribute to a complex finish with slightly sweet tones.
What do you taste when you drink Monate Fela Gin? Let us know!
Geachte relatie,
Allereerst willen wij u hartelijk danken voor het vertrouwen in ons product en de overweldigende reacties over de kwaliteit van Monate Fela Gin. We hebben het zelfs tot “Finalist” geschopt tijdens de Gin Guide Awards. Daar zijn we uiteraard ontzettend trots op.
Helaas moeten wij u mededelen dat door de huidige situatie in de wereld het voor ons erg moeilijk is, om onze prachtige gin naar Nederland te verschepen. Daarom hebben wij besloten om voorlopig geen Monate Fela Gin meer te distilleren. Wij hopen het in de toekomst weer op te kunnen pakken. We zullen u dan direct op de hoogte stellen.
Nogmaals ontzettend bedankt voor uw vertrouwen en hopelijk kunnen we in de toekomst weer zaken doen.
Met een Monate Fela groet!
