There is something deeply comforting about a drink that carries the warmth of family tradition and the wisdom of generations.

My family has been farming this land longer than Iโve been alive. Longer than my parents, even. Most of the neighbors have sold theirs over the years โ but we kept ours. Not because it was easy, but because some things you just donโt let go of. ๐ฟ
I still remember harvest season as a little kid. The smell of the fields, the noise, the busyness of it all. I didnโt know then that those moments would stay with me this long. But here I am โ still carrying them.

My mother never had to buy herbs. Everything she needed was right there in the backyard โ jeruk nipis, jahe, sereh. Freshly picked, every single time. I grew up thinking that was normal. Turns out, it was just us being lucky.

Seruni started because my mother always had lemongrass, lime, and ginger growing right outside our door. Sheโd pick them fresh every time she needed them โ never stored, never dried. Just alive and ready. I wanted to capture exactly that feeling. Not just the scent, but the memory of where it comes from. This is for everyone who knows what itโs like to have a home that smells like something real. ๐ฟ
I called it Mojito first. Thought it needed to sound more global, easy to accept. But the more I sat with it, the more it felt wrong. This scent isnโt international. Itโs from my familyโs backyard. Itโs home. So I changed it back to the original. Seruni. Thatโs what it always was.
