HAWAII – January 19, 2011 – The much anticipated, 100% natural, made only in Hawaii, Antioxidant Wellness drink, KonaRed™, will be arriving in stores statewide this month. KonaRed™ is derived from the red, ripe, cherry-like fruit of the coffee plant that surrounds, protects and nourishes the bean. The fruit, the whole fruit and nothing but the fruit, KonaRed™ contains no coffee beans, no preservatives and no added sugar or caffeine. KonaRed™ is a 100% natural juice, produced from the mineral rich soil of the Big Island’s exclusive coffee plantations to nourish the body with wellness you can feel. “After 2 years of intense research and development, we are ultra-excited to bring this product to market, and proud of the fact that KonaRed™ is 100% Hawaiian,” says Shaun Roberts, CEO KonaRed™.
KonaRed™ naturally contains an extraordinary level of antioxidants (Quinic Acid, Chlorogenic Acid and Ferulic Acid), with protective benefits, which have been scientifically proven to help prevent disease, fight sickness, suppress appetite and inhibit inflammation. KonaRed™ is also highly bio-available, meaning the antioxidant properties get absorbed at the cellular level, giving the body what it needs when it needs it, naturally!
Boasting a sustainable business model, KonaRed™ uses only the fruit of the coffee plant, adding additional value to the Hawaii coffee industry. KonaRed™ has developed a proprietary extraction process to bring this amazing superfruit to the masses. Hawaii is the only producer of coffee in the United States and the 3rd largest agricultural crop in the Islands. “Our goal is to produce a quality, sustainable, agricultural product that Hawaii can be proud to call their own for generations to come”, states Steven Peykoff, KonaRed’s President of Sales.
In 2008, we began to study the benefits of the coffee fruit with the major coffee producers in Kona, perfected our extraction methods and followed up with months of testing in leading US laboratories, identifying our antioxidants. Clinically tested and proven, KonaRed™ has finally arrived by putting ‘paradise in a bottle’ for everybody to enjoy. Be well!
