Orange Creamsicle is the second of two new seasonal SKUs from Health-Ade Kombucha to launch in 2024 and this creative flavor was made to respond to consumers' desire for elevated flavor experiences. A survey conducted on behalf of the brand revealed that 73% of consumers enjoy limited-edition flavors—and this lines up with the data, since Mango Lemonade doubled last year's seasonal sales.
This nostalgic, joyful flavor inspired by a beloved summertime treat boasts bright and creamy flavors, and the perfect balance of sweet and tart tastes. Beyond flavor, there's plenty to love from this new beverage since it's full of probiotics and organic acids to support a happy, healthy gut.
Alongside the announcement of this seasonal kombucha flavor, the brand shared that its new and improved Pomegranate Blueberry flavor has joined its permanent lineup.
