Experience the harmonious fusion of hydration and deliciousness with our Coconut Kefir and Kawakawa Refresher—a beverage that transcends the ordinary summer drink.

The Journey of Flavours:
Kefir
Kefir, the heart of our beverage, originates from Turkey, symbolising ‘Pleasant Taste’.
Renowned for its myriad health benefits, kefir is more than just a refreshing drink. It’s a potent ally for your wellbeing, boasting antimicrobial properties, cancer-fighting potential, and a host of benefits for your gastrointestinal health. Its ability to modulate the gut microbiome and its anti-diabetic effects make it a true superfood.
Kawakawa
Post-fermentation, we introduce Kawakawa, known for its holistic tonic effects on the body, enhancing overall vitality and wellness.
Infused with Cucumber
The inclusion of cucumber in our refresher adds a hydrating element, nourishing the body with its essential hydration qualities.
Complemented by Kaffir Lime Leaves
The addition of kaffir lime leaves contributes to skin health and helps reduce inflammation, adding a fragrant aroma and a healthful boost.
