Since 2014, the co-founders of Limai, Anton and Kari, have been working to create a beverage that leverages the true power of the Amazonian açai berry. While it’s been marketed as a so-called “superfood” across the globe, Limai’s co-founders keep the focus on the known truths of açai — like the fact that it’s not only delicious, but also packed with antioxidants, fiber, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. With a soft mouthfeel and refreshing subtlety, Limai brings a healthy amount of açai together with energizing guarana — another Amazonian berry, bitter black tea that rounds out the best of the berries’ flavors, tangy ginger, and South American cane sugar for a touch of caramel sweetness. We see the beverage as a wonderful height of summer companion — an ice-cold bottle to pop open on your lunch break, a sparkly coffee substitute at your friend’s balcony brunch or maybe even a refreshing mixer for an açai-boosted cocktail. Pick up a bottle at Good Bank or find other retail locations on Limai’s website. (Text: Devan Grimsrud / Photos: Devan Grimsrud, Limai)
