What is this project all about?

selo is a refreshing coffee cherry soda, sparkling and naturally caffeinated, with only a hint of organic citrus juice and no added sugars. With selosoda, we finally make full use of the coffee cherry, which is rich in flavor, caffeine and antioxidants. Thereby, we offer the first real alternative in a world full of sugary lemonades and artificial energy drinks.

selosoda does not only taste good, it also does good. Coffee cherries are the pulp around the coMehr anzeigen

What is the project goal and who is the project for?

After months of product development, we realized our very first production in June 2015 and tested selosoda on the market. We have received valuable feedback from restaurants, coffee shops and bars and quickly realized how strong the demand for an unsweetened caffeinated refreshment is.

Goals
In case of successful financing we will be able to realize our first significant production at an acceptable unit cost and work together with restaurants and bars in prMehr anzeigen

Why would you support this project?

selosoda is the first of its kind that is unsweetened and naturally caffeinated and fulfills our intention to create a high-quality taste. The soda also provides healthy antioxidants, which are abundantly concentrated in coffee cherries. 

selosoda picks up the previously unnoticed potential and helps increase the income of coffee farmers by up to 50%. This is supported by the equitable and fair food chain we ensure via our transparent direct trade modeMehr anzeigen

How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?

The minimum amount of bottles we have to produce for an acceptable unit cost is 20,000, which we can not finance by ourselves.The more funding, the more bottles we can produce and the greater the impact will be of course. Only with your support we will be able to produce selosoda at scale and offer it rather sooner than later to selected bars, coffeeshops and restaurants. If we reach our goal of 50,000€, we can produce more than double the amount of bottleMehr anzeigen

Who are the people behind the project?

I'm Laura and I developed selosoda - that’s easy to say. Without the support of a fantastic personal and professional environment, it would not have become a marketable product that fast.
selosoda owes (amongst others) many thanks to:

  • Benedikt Roiger for the design
  • Janis Nachtigall for the endless cascara-tastings
  • Lena Fischer for her manpower since October 2015
  • Anne Decker for her enthusiasm and counsel
  • Patrik Rolf Karlsson for the best support when it come
