Kānuka Infused Charnade

regenerative restoration for all generations.

Infused with the essence of Kānuka, our lemonade brings a refreshing twist to your daily drink. Known for its resilience in the harshest of New Zealand's landscapes, Kānuka is much more than just a native tree. This remarkable plant is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, offering a natural boost to your wellbeing with every sip. Kānuka has been celebrated for its ability to soothe and heal, making it the perfect complement to our revitalising lemonade.
