Question everything
You question everything. Why not the water you drink every day?
Most labels won’t tell you the plant or the part. Ours does.

Kerala’s water pot
We didn’t invent it. We measured it.
For generations, Kerala households have boiled a sliver or two of pathimugam into the drinking water, and restaurants have served it instead of plain water since the 1990s. What it never had was a measure. Pinkt is that tradition, measured.
Why Kerala’s water is pink“I’d rather be honest and slower than fast and vague.”
Name what’s actually in it, prove a claim before we make it, and never ask you to trust us for a reason we haven’t earned yet.

All guidesWhy is the drinking water pink in Kerala?
Homes and restaurants across Kerala serve warm, pink drinking water. Where the colour comes from, how households make it, and what to check first.
Pathimugam, explained: the wood behind Kerala’s pink water
What pathimugam (sappan wood, Caesalpinia sappan) is, its names across India, how Kerala households use it, look-alike woods, and who should check with a doctor.
What to drink instead of your evening chai
Thirteen caffeine-free drinks Indian kitchens already make, from jeera water to buttermilk, and the everyday drinks that quietly contain caffeine.
Nature, minus the guesswork.
Nature already works. We just stopped guessing how much of it to use.
