Producer of the Island Lemonade brand of herbal iced teas, Tameka Clough, is blending science, wellness, and local ingredients to carve a niche in Jamaica’s competitive beverage market.
The brand is rooted in her personal journey to wellness and specialises in iced teas made with unique herbs that offer a refreshing twist on traditional beverages with flavours such as lavender, hibiscus, hemp and mint.
Her handcrafted blends first became popular among her friends and family but now they have evolved into a business venture focused on well-being and innovation.
Taking the beverages from kitchen to commercial shelf requires more than creativity. It demands science, consistency and compliance.
As a result, Ms. Clough has formed a strategic partnership with the Scientific Research Council (SRC), which continues to play a vital role in strengthening the island’s micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs).
