Common card · No. 302751

Tarkhuna (Georgian: ტარხუნა, Georgian pronunciation: [tʼaɾχuna] is a Georgian carbonated tarragon and/or woodruff-flavored soft drink, first ever created in 1887 in Kutaisi by Georgian pharmacist Mitrofan Lagidze. Mitrofan Lagidze began to add odorous chukhpuch containing extract of Caucasian tarragon to sparkling water with natural syrups of his own production. Before the First World War, Lagidze repeatedly received gold medals at international exhibitions for his water. In 1927, the Soviet authorities built a plant for the production of "Lagidze water" in Tbilisi, and Lagidze himself was appointed director.
