A REINVENTED HERITAGE
THE HUMAN ADVENTURE
We are four friends, united by a love of good food and shared moments. Together, we have chosen to revive a family recipe passed down by Arlette, the grandmother of one of us .
Every spring, she prepared a simple and generous elderflower drink, which she offered to the winegrowers to refresh them during their long days in the sun. This simple act of sharing is the spirit of MAÏA.
From this story, we retain a philosophy: the taste for good things, the pleasure of sharing, and the joy of living. A sincere art of living that transcends borders and speaks to all those who love to celebrate life, wherever they are.
FOR THE MOST CURIOUS
WE TELL YOU
ALL ABOUT MAÏA
DID YOU KNOW?
MAÏA is a nod to the Roman goddess of spring. Symbolizing the month of May, she celebrates the return of flowers, the lengthening days, and the first sunny terraces.
ARTISANAL EXPERTISE
FLOWERS
FRESH
Every May, we reconnect with a delicate and fleeting ritual: picking elderflowers. Their bloom lasts only a few weeks, a fleeting moment that must be seized at the right moment.
They are hand-picked in the heart of the Charente countryside. Fresh and subtle, they inspire the recipe passed down by Arlette. This is how we create a drink today:
less sweet, purer, with
a beautiful aromatic intensity.
TRUE TO OUR ROOTS
MADE WITH COMMON SENSE & PASSION
Our bottles are made from recycled glass and all production takes place in the Cognac region, where it all began.
We chose responsible, local, and environmentally friendly production. Exactly as Arlette would have wanted.
From harvesting to preparation, each step is guided by the same attention to detail: doing things well, with quality.
EXCELLENCE REWARDED
PROUD OF OUR EXPERTISE
MAÏA is us. A group of friends united by a love of good things and sharing.
All our ingredients are selected for their aromatic richness. We work with them with unique expertise.
And if MAÏA has that little something extra, that French flair, that savoir-vivre that gives soul to our drink... it is also what has earned us four fine distinctions today: two medals at the Epicures de l'épicerie fine and two others at the Concours mondial de Bruxelles .
