A botanical practice rooted in Upcountry Maui.

LoveTree Alchemy makes whole-plant honey spagyrics — botanical preparations crafted through a process of separation, refinement, and reunion. The plants come from Maui farmers. The work happens in a dedicated extraction and distillation lab, by hand, in small batches.

The Lab Behind the Craft

Behind every LoveTree preparation is a dedicated botanical extraction and distillation lab in Upcountry Maui. Each batch moves through a careful sequence of preparation, extraction, distillation, filtration, mineral refinement, and reunion with local honey. This is slow, technical, hands-on work — guided by years of practice, modern equipment, traditional spagyric principles, and close attention to the character of each plant.

Technical Botanical Extraction

Controlled extraction using reactor vessels, managed temperature, and carefully chosen solvents. The goal is to work respectfully with the whole plant.

Distillation, Fire & Mineral Refinement

Distillation captures the aromatic essence of the plant. Calcination refines the remaining material into purified mineral salts. Both steps take patience and precision.

Small Batches, Full Accountability

Every batch is made in small quantities by the same hands, from harvest through the finished jar. That is how we maintain the care a botanical preparation deserves.

  • The Farmer

    Direct relationships with the people who grow our plants.

  • The Soil

    Locally grown on the island of Maui — source material is everything.

  • The Harvest

    Plants harvested at peak vitality, by hand.

Meet the Maker

I work directly with Maui growers and stay close to the plants through every stage, from harvest and preparation to the finished jar. Every batch is crafted in small quantities with care, curiosity, and respect for its source. I show the process because I believe you should know who made your preparation, where it came from, and how it was made.
