About Hen

Hen began in founder Shannon Malone’s home kitchen, with a curiosity about her Indonesian ancestry and a desire to understand it through making.

Jamu became the thread. Preparing fresh herbs and exploring recipes turned the kitchen into a place of ceremony — a practice that connected Shannon to the women in her family, each with their own recipe, method and understanding of jamu passed through the home.

Unable to find the jamu she knew in Australia, Shannon began making her own with local and organic produce.

Today, Hen carries that practice forward through a growing range of everyday herbal tonics, rooted in Indonesian tradition and made in Australia.
