About Mere Point
Grown in Maquoit, Mere Point, and Middle Bays off Brunswick, Maine, in floating bags sunk to the bottom each winter to escape sea ice. Repeated solar-powered tumbler sessions and hand selection build a deep cup and a signature Maine brininess.
In plain words: briny, sweet, earthy, umami, crisp, with salt bomb salt.
