Behind the Flavor: Berry Breeze — The Story of Our Most Refreshing Blend
Share
Berry Breeze is one of our most balanced and refreshing blends — a crisp combination of berries with a clean finish designed to pair seamlessly with the calming effects of kava and adaptogens. Here’s how we built it, and what makes this flavor stand out.
A Flavor Built on Real Fruit Profiles
When developing Berry Breeze, we wanted a berry-forward drink that felt bright, smooth, and not overly sweet. To get there, we pulled from five distinct fruit notes:
- Blueberry for depth and a slightly jammy base
- Raspberry for acidity and brightness
- Strawberry for a round, familiar sweetness
- Açaí for a subtle, earthy richness
- Mint for a clean, refreshing lift
The combination creates a layered berry profile that’s crisp at the first sip and smooth at the finish.
The Development Process
Berry Breeze went through multiple rounds of formulation in the apothecary. Our goals were simple:
- Create a true-to-fruit berry blend without artificial “candy” sweetness
- Ensure the mint note was present but not overpowering
- Build a flavor that complements the natural earthiness of kava
- Maintain clarity and balance even with functional ingredients added
The final formula hits a clean middle ground — bold enough to stand on its own, but light enough to enjoy any time of day.
How It Interacts With Kava + Adaptogens
Flavor isn’t the only thing at play. Because Lomi is a functional beverage, every ingredient needs to work with kava, ashwagandha, and lion’s mane — not against them.
Berry Breeze was designed to:
- Smooth the grounding notes of kava with berry brightness
- Pair the coolness of mint with the clarity of lion’s mane
- Balance the tart and sweet elements so the drink stays refreshing, not heavy
The result is a flavor that supports the overall experience: crisp, balanced, and easy to drink.
When Berry Breeze Works Best
This flavor shines when you want something:
- Refreshing but not citrus-forward
- Light without being watered down
- Berry-rich without a sugary aftertaste
Customers tell us it’s their go-to for everyday sipping — from work breaks to social gatherings — because it’s smooth, steady, and reliably delicious.
