Energy Bitters – Pyewackets Traditional

GOLD
Best Mood Booster 2026

$26.00

Energy Bitters is a naturopath-formulated herbal tincture containing nourishing adaptogens, traditional bitters and aromatic herbs, designed to work with the gut-brain axis. This rich and aromatic product aims to ease burnout, restore focus, awaken vitality and courage and gently stoke digestive fire.

Made with excellent clean ingredients, including Certified Organic ingredients.
Pyewackets Traditional produces in small, careful batches in Ballina, New South Wales, sourcing cocoa ethically from Living Koko, a Clean & Conscious gold winner in social impact and chocolate categories, purchased direct from farmers in Samoa. Mandarins are grown by the makers, with peel dehydrated for use in bitters. All other herbs and base alcohol are certified organic. The brand banks with a B Corp certified local bank and uses a B Corp certified superannuation fund.
Pyewackets Traditional reduces single-use drink container consumption and freight emissions by offering concentrated bitters, with one 100-gram bottle making 25 drinks to be mixed at home. The glass bottles are recyclable and designed to encourage repurposing. All herbs used are strained out after maceration and composted. Orders are shipped in compostable or recyclable plastic-free packaging. Many herbs are grown in the Pyewacket's Patch garden.
Pyewackets Traditional pays 1% of all sales quarterly to a variety of First Nations organisations as part of its 'pay the rent' initiative, inspired by over 50 years of similar campaigns in Australia. This approach is intended as a tangible way of recognising Aboriginal sovereignty and is based on the concept of contributing 1% of total revenue, similar to models like '1% for the planet'.

Product Reviews by Experts


The fact that on the bottle it says that it will awaken the senses and it actually does. Been drinking it with sparkling water and the taste isn’t overpowering/hard to swallow like most bitters I’ve had – it’s yummy to sip throughout the day. Love the colour of the bottle too! Love that the brand banks and does their super with B Corp certified institutions, sources cacao directly from Samoan farmers, and composts every single herb after maceration. It’s whole-system thinking in a way that most brands simply don’t reach!


I love that the Pyewackets Traditional Energy Bitters are created by a Naturopath celebrating the gut-brain axis in a very easy to use dropper to easily incorporate into your daily rituals. The aromatic herbs really give you a pick-me-up and use ingredients that support symptoms commonly experienced by so many including energy, stress, digestion, even sugar cravings, and more. The cacao and mandarin is a bold flavour combination that feels enriching to consume and the uniquely designed, formulated tincture really celebrates the healing power of nature. I really value that the tinctures are small batch made and hero an ethically sourced cocoa. The business uniquely grows its own mandarins utilising the whole fruit across the product range. The product itself comes in a compact dropper that makes an impressive 25 drinks. It’s great to see the product is in glass, both from a sustainability perspective but also maintaining the quality of the herbal product inside for efficacy.


I love the ease of adding these to sparkling water. It’s such an easy alternative to alcohol, stimulating soft drinks, or even that sneaky second coffee. What stands out about this brand is its commitment to ethical sourcing, sustainability, and supporting local communities. Products are made in small batches in regional New South Wales using thoughtfully sourced ingredients, including ethically traded cocoa purchased directly from Samoan farmers and certified organic herbs. The business also prioritises environmental responsibility and ethical investment practices, choosing to bank and invest with B Corp-certified organisations that support local communities and renewable energy initiatives, which I think is really admirable.
