It is also an excellent companion for competition lots, ensuring that every sip is rich and expressive.
Catalyst is also designed for convenience, on-demand for any situation. Our squeeze bottle with precision dropper tip offers dosing in controlled droplets to squeezing out larger doses seamlessly. No more dosing with a dropper. No more brain work on mixing different minerals for brewing in the morning, or mixing sachets with large amounts of water.

How To Use Catalyst?
As Pre-brew Base
Start with 5g of Catalyst concentrate per litre of distilled or deionised water ( or 1:200 ratio ). 
Simply unscrew the tip cover, place your vessel on a 0.1g scale, squeeze your desired amount, and add water!
As Post-brew Drops
Per drop of Catalyst weighs around 0.04g, adding 5ppm of minerals to 200ml of beverage.
Just 1 to 2 drops will make a noticeable difference
Adjusting Catalyst
Higher Dose:
→ Flavour Intensity, Sweetness, Body  ↑
→ Aroma Intensity, Acidity/Sourness/Brightness  ↓
→ (Opposite is true for a Lower Dose)
Adjust higher when coffee lacks sweetness and body, is too bright, or can be more fruit-forward & expressive.
Adjust lower when coffee is too dark, heavy, flat or salty, and can be lighter or more aromatic.
Catalyst can also be blended with Affinity, in varying ratios to achieve a customized balance, bringing added sweetness and body when needed.
Catalyst Beyond Coffee
Catalyst enhances the depth and sweetness of fruit juices like grape, berries, tropical fruits, and juice blends, making them sweeter, fuller and more indulgent. 
In Matcha and Tea, it can highlight umami and sweetness, with a rich and lingering mouthfeel, while reducing bitterness.
When added to lighter wines such as Pinot Noir, it rounds out flavors, softens edges, and enhances body and sweetness for a more balanced and pleasurable drinking experience. 
Whether in coffee, tea, fruit juices, or alcoholic beverages, Catalyst offers a refined yet convenient approach to enhancing flavor, depth, and complexity.
