Saratoga Springs, NY - Drawing inspiration from centuries-old German herbal traditions and the
growing trend of sober-curious lifestyles, Bitte offers a refreshing alternative to traditional soda
with its original and aromatic blend. Blended and canned in Saratoga Springs, New York, Bitte's
flagship Tangelo-Ginger tantalizes taste buds with a sparkling fusion of ginger and dandelion roots,
complemented by warming spices and zesty citrus tangelo. Each ingredient promotes digestive
harmony for greater wellbeing and a revitalizing, sensory experience.
A MINDFUL APPROACH TO BEVERAGE CONSUMPTION
Co-founded in 2018 by Beitressa Mandelbaum and Melanie Bang, Bitte epitomizes innovative
mixology, blending botanical bitters and plant extracts. With its name derived from the German
word for 'please,' Bitte embodies a courteous invitation to a healthier lifestyle, disrupting norms
with a more mindful beverage approach amid alcohol and sugar-laden options. As consumers
prioritize nourishing body and spirit, Bitte emerges as a force paving the way for unique blends and
flavors.
INSPIRED TYPOGRAPHY AND ARTISTIC ROOTS
Created by graphic designer and calligrapher Melanie Bang, the Bitte logo pays homage to
dramatic Gothic blackletter and elegant German Art Nouveau motifs. The ornate lines capture the
alchemy behind the tasting notes. This bold aesthetic resonates with diverse musical genres like
punk, metal, and rock, embodying the experimental spirit of the 1960s Fluxus art movement. Fluxus
member Yoko Ono's "Grapefruit" book inspired Bitte's ASMR multi-sensory approach.
AVAILABILITY
Bitte is available for independent wholesale distribution and served at select Manhattan, Brooklyn
and Queens locations including Lise et Vito, Greenpoint Fish and Lobster, The Four Horsemen, and
