The Vision: A Drinks Concept Not Yet Experienced in Amman

The goal was to create a beverage experience that was entirely alcohol-free, yet sophisticated, complex, and deeply rooted in Jordanian terroir. This meant moving away from imported, mass-produced mixers and toward local, foraged, and distilled botanicals.

The programme was built on four key pillars:
