Fentimans tonic water is made from a fermented grain base and flavoured with lemongrass and purified chinchona bar, both from India.

Fentimans dates from1905 and its products are all 'botanically brewed'. This refers to the process of putting botanicals into copper steam jacketed pans to infuse with herbs, sugar, brewer's yeast and spring water, then allowed to ferment in wooden vats. Originally its first product, ginger beer, was bottled and corked in old stone "Grey Hen" bottles. It would fully mature and be ready to drink by the end of the week. Nowadays the only difference is that carbon dioxide is added to replace the carbon dioxide lost in pasteurization.
