About us

Our philosophy

Tyrol’s excellent water quality and its wealth of herbs and fruits inspired us to make use of these valuable resources. We combine Tyrolean spring water with high-quality ingredients to produce a variety of organic syrups in Innsbruck.

We want to offer our customers a variety of syrup flavours, made entirely by hand and with plenty of love, for an unforgettable taste experience.

nako organic syrup is made without added artificial flavourings or preservatives.

We use more pine cones, tea, flowers or fruit and less sugar in our products, so our syrup goes further. Dilution ratio: 1:10.

Environmentally sustainable and socially fair tea growing matters greatly to us, so we source only high-quality, fair-trade organic teas. We buy herbs and fruit from various regions of Austria. For the sake of the environment, we bottle our syrup in reusable glass bottles from Styria.

How it all began

The Argentinian tradition of brewing strong mate tea, rich in caffeine and tannins, in a gourd and drinking it through a filter straw had long been part of my daily ritual. But I wanted to create a quicker, simpler alternative, so I could prepare this caffeinated drink even when short of time or looking for convenience.

It all started one evening with friends at our shared flat. A large supply of mate tea from my Argentinian relatives gave me the idea to start experimenting and make mate syrup.

In June 2017, I registered the business and founded ‘nako Sirup’ together with my wife, Ariane.

At first, we focused on making mate syrup, but soon developed new, distinctive flavours. With each season, we seek out ingredients for the finest harmony of pine cones, tea, flowers and fruit.
