The lab behindthe craft.
A dedicated botanical extraction and distillation lab, where each batch is made by hand from harvest to finished jar.
One maker. Four spaces.
One complete process.
Behind every LoveTree preparation is a dedicated 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 each plant.
Four dedicated spaces.
Where vapor meets copper and glass, and aromatic essences are captured from the plants.
Where freshly harvested plants arrive from the farm and are cleaned and prepared.
Where plant material is sorted, sliced, dried, and readied for extraction.
Where extraction, filtration, mineral refinement, and reunion with honey happen.
Working with thewhole plant.
Controlled extraction using reactor vessels, managed temperature, and carefully chosen solvents. The goal is to draw out the full character of the plant while honoring all of its aspects, botanical, aromatic, and mineral.
Capture the essence,refine the salts.
Distillation captures the aromatic essence of the plant. Calcination refines the remaining material into purified mineral salts. Both steps take patience and precision, and both matter to the finished preparation.
The full sequence.
Small batches, full accountability. Every step is made by the same hands, from harvest through the finished jar.
Farmer-direct sourcing
Turmeric, Vana tulsi, and ginger sourced through direct relationships with Maui growers.
Washing & preparation
Fresh plants arrive at our outdoor wash stations and are cleaned, sorted, and prepared by hand.
Chop & dry
Washed material is chopped and dried under controlled conditions, concentrating its character before extraction.
Controlled extraction
Plant material is extracted in reactor vessels with managed temperature, solvent, and timing.
Distillation
Aromatic essence is captured through heat and vapor, preserving what extraction alone cannot reach.
Mineral refinement
Remaining material is calcined and refined into purified plant mineral salts.
Honey reunion
Botanical extract, aromatic essence, and mineral salts are reunited with raw Hawaiian honey.
Real lab tools,in real hands.
Spagyric work is technical, and the lab is equipped for it, so each step is controlled rather than improvised.
- Reactor vessels for controlled botanical extraction
- Rotary evaporator for gentle solvent recovery
- Distillation apparatus for capturing aromatic essence
- Laboratory glassware and careful filtration
- Managed temperature, solvent, and timing
- Calcination setup for refining the mineral salts
