Quina Fina

Quina Fina is an authentic tonic water made in New Zealand, combining the extract of Quina bark from Ecuador — the world’s original source of quinine, and the purest New Zealand spring water. We designed packaging that lets you know instantly that this is no ordinary mixer. The use of brown glass acknowledges the medicinal heritage of quinine and the clean, simple label and type design convey cues of quality and refinement while allowing it to stand out clearly in low lit bar environments. Attention to details such as a mix of early metal type, Pacific colours and a pattern informed by the texture of cinchona bark reinforces the authenticity of product.
