The GURU Guayusa Tropical Punch energy drink is a naturally formulated beverage for consumers looking to increase their energy levels throughout the day in tradition-inspired way. The drink is inspired by the traditions of the Jivaro people of Ecuador and is achieved using a natural range of ingredients along with organic energy boosting components. The drink is sweetened using organic stevia and monk fruit along with cane sugar to give the beverage a well-rounded sweetness with just 50-calories per can.
President and CEO of GURU Carl Goyette commented on the new GURU Guayusa Tropical Punch energy drink saying, "Innovation is an integral part of our growth strategy. We are very excited by this new product launch, which is yet another step in solidifying our leadership position in the organic plant-based energy drink market. Last year, we introduced Yerba Mate, and Matcha the year before, which both became top products in our lineup, driven by strong demand for their healthy, plant-based ingredients and delicious flavour profiles. We are now bringing in Guayusa Tropical Punch, which will complement our growing line of differentiated organic energy drinks that deliver good energy, and which has already garnered strong interest from our pre-launch activities."
