A Soda for However Monsoon Is Going
It's monsoon across most of India, and it plays out the same way everywhere. Mumbai's trains have been running late for weeks. Bengaluru is on its twentieth grey sky in a row. Up north the first proper showers are only just landing.
Different cities, same results. The office WiFi drops every time it pours. The pakora order on the group chat has gone from "should we" to "obviously". The chai stall downstairs hasn't had a quiet hour in days.
Everyone drinks more in the rain
More chai, sure. But also more of whatever's sitting in the office fridge or the quick-commerce cart, because grey weather makes people reach for something warm or something fizzy more than they would on a normal Tuesday. Most of the time that fizzy something is a cola nobody really thought about.
That's the gap we made Himalayan Berry for. A can that tastes like a proper soda, with 0g added sugar and no caffeine, so the fourth one of the day doesn't feel like a bad decision.
What's in the two cans
Raspberry Rush is raspberry with lemon and a cool hint of mint. Tart, crisp and properly fizzy.
Peach Charm is peach and apple with lemon, a little ginger and a hint of vanilla. Softer and mellower, the one for a slow rainy evening.
Both are made with fruit juice extract and a pinch of pink salt, sweetened with stevia, and come in at 26 kcal a can. They're made in Bengaluru.
How to drink it this monsoon
- Cold from the fridge with a plate of hot pakoras. The fizz cuts through the fry.
- Over ice with a squeeze of lime when the power's out and the fan's not helping.
- Poured into a glass for the 4pm work call you'd rather not be on.
