This New Kiwi Drink Is Set to Go Global
It doesn’t matter how smart we think we are as humans – Nature always turns out smarter, stronger and just plain better than us every time. That’s what Wai Manuka Sparkling Water Taught us.
Being inherently lazy, we invent ‘tonics’, ‘elixirs’ and ‘energy drinks’ to ostensibly improve our health whilst we’re busy playing on Xbox or scrolling on our phones. Usually these drinks are a careful balancing of a concoction of multiple ingredients, each bringing its own alleged benefit – and sour taste – along to the party in your mouth. A decent, yet unheralded, added dollop of sugar often helps disguise this cacophony of flavours – and usually makes these drinks taste like medicine.
A genuinely natural health drink
Yet Nature’s riposte is always simple, elegant and scarily efficient. In the case of health drinks – natural manuka honey is the ultimate solution to almost any ill – and it needs no added sugar either as honey is the most natural sweetener on the planet.
Joe Harawira, founder of Kiwi company Wai Manuka, certainly has gone the authentic way by letting Nature do all the heavy health lifting with his new New Zealand Manuka Honey Sparkling Water. No additives, no preservatives, no added sugar, just all-natural New Zealand manuka honey, water and a squeeze of lemon. ‘Basically, it was a New Year’s Eve idea,’ Joe said, ‘made through the Covid Lockdown and launched as a partner to the America’s Cup. Since then, we’ve grown across New Zealand, and are exporting to Tokyo and New York City.’
Why so successful so quickly? Simplicity and a trust in the goodness of Nature. Wai Manuka’s balance is perfect as well as it tastes not too sweet, not too weak – ‘Just right!’ as Goldilocks would cry out as she waved her empty glass at Papa Bear demanding a refill.
Just some of the health benefits of manuka honey
We’re lucky to be Kiwis as our manuka honey is a health superpower, capable of a lot more than keeping you awake or just giving you a burst of energy. Manuka honey also brings benefits for stomach health like reducing acid reflux and IBS, combats oral and throat bacterial infections – and can even alleviate eczema. A natural antibiotic, manuka honey renowned for its unique bioactive compound – which means it is perfect for interacting with our bodies. Almost like Nature designed it that way!
If you’re looking for a casual health drink to have in the office, on the road or after the workout – you can’t go past the Wai Manuka Sparkling Water. It’s light, refreshing, delicious – and the truly smart choice.
