OOZ Debuts Single-Ingredient Hydration Tapped from Birch Trees

OOZ introduces 100% organic birch water to the North American market, an ingredient consumed for generations across Northern and Eastern Europe, now reintroduced for a modern audience.

OOZ is pure birch sap, tapped directly from birch trees during a short spring harvest. Nothing is added: no sugar, no concentrates, no preservatives, no flavors, and no electrolyte blends. The result is a clean, lightly sweet sap with naturally occurring manganese, antioxidants, amino acids, and bioactive compounds. Hydration as the tree releases it, before excessive processing or formulation.

The brand exists between premium bottled water and functional wellness beverages: more elevated than plain water, and more restrained than the synthetic functional drinks that dominate the category. OOZ positions birch water not as a passing trend, but as a returning ingredient rooted in generations of consumption long before the modern wellness industry existed.

“The goal of OOZ is to bring hydration back to its core: purity. We want to build a quiet, sustainable, and habitual lifestyle around OOZ.” — Christina Zhang, Founder of OOZ

OOZ launches with a single SKU: Original Organic Birch Water in a 330 mL glass bottle.

Currently available at select independent retailers across NYC and direct-to-consumer online.
