Phoenix Organics is a company that’s goal is to make a difference to the community, to the planet and to the health of its people.

They soon realized that they needed to expand and that’s when they started to use a technological advance of pasteurization and it changed the company dramatically. “It expanded our range” Harris said. Recycling is something Phoenix did a lot; they collected used beer bottles from local pubs, soaked them in a bath to remove the labels and sterilized them in a commercial dishwasher.
Phoenix had their manufacturing facility in beautiful Auckland New Zealand. Not only was this where there made and bottled there produce, but also where they practiced making sure every part of the business is sustainable, now and in the future.
Phoenix distributed their products to eager health food stores in Auckland. Phoenix Ginger Beer (made with fresh ginger, lemon juice and yeast) is one of the best products Phoenix has sold.
