As a blend of unique and trending flavours, from kokum, sage, rosemary, lemongrass, to honeydew melon, they offer a refreshing twist on traditional flavours, adding complexity to our drinks menu,” says Rawat.

“These flavours are gaining popularity for several reasons. Firstly, there’s a growing interest in exploring diverse and unconventional taste experiences. Ingredients that offer a departure from the ordinary entice customers with their distinct profiles. Additionally, consumers are becoming more health-conscious and are drawn to the natural and herbal qualities of these ingredients,” he adds.
