Food and Drink Awards 2023

Best Coconut Water Brand 2023 Delivering the perfect union of flavour, function, and feel-good fun, Koko & Karma offers the world’s first coconut water with enhanced functional benefits, packed with the nutrients you need to support your active lifestyle. The company, established by Founder and CEO Jodie Evins, has created a range of drinks that provide the benefits of supplements without the hassle of pills and potions. Having struggled with food intolerances and IBS for many years, Jodie Evins was inspired to create a line of delicious beverages that go beyond great taste to deliver extraordinary health benefits. In 2019, she embarked on a journey to revolutionise the beverage experience, striving to create drinks that are functional, enriching, and invigorating. She loved coconut water and knew it would make a tasty and dynamic base for her formulations. Aiming to strike the ideal balance between function and flavour, Jodie spent time perfecting her recipes, carefully selecting all the ingredients she used. In this, she was not willing to compromise on taste, driven to relentlessly pursue perfection. From her hard work, Koko & Karma was born. Not just about tasty drinks, the brand is centred around celebrating wellbeing and helping people experience the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, the world was enlightened to the importance of both convenience and quality. Jodie’s commitment to the use of premium, ethically sourced ingredients and rigorous scientific research became a beacon of hope, and Koko & Karma became synonymous with quality, innovation, and unforgettable taste. Koko & Karma understands that, without the support and loyalty of its customers, it would not have made it to the other side of the pandemic. Committed to giving back to them at every opportunity, the company aims to deliver second-to-none customer service, providing them with the support and attention they deserve. It also works hard to maintain the quality of its products, enabling customers to rest assured that whatever it delivers next will be trustworthy and tasty.

Moreover, Koko & Karma upholds a strong commitment to ethical standards, through which it sets itself apart from competitors. It takes pride in delivering its products without causing any harm to animals, ensuring that customers can enjoy them with a clear conscience. Alongside this, driven by sustainability, Koko & Karma aims to minimise waste and reduce its environmental footprint by using ecofriendly packaging and sourcing its ingredients sustainably. In addition, the company is actively engaged in environmental offsetting initiatives, such as investing in projects that promote environmental conservation and restoration. Internally, Koko & Karma is equipped with a small team, split across Sydney in Australia and Texas in the USA. However, the company is working to expand globally. In hiring, it seeks individuals who share its ethical business approach, with a commitment to treating both people and the environment with the utmost respect. Importantly, Koko & Karma is committed to providing opportunities for its staff members to grow. It believes that, when people are given the freedom to succeed, they can learn more from one another.

On top of this, before the pandemic, the company had established partnerships in China and Hong Kong, which it plans to revisit in 2024.
