Our journey of bringing Philippine innovation to the world stage has reached a new milestone. The Power of SLOW Coconut Flower Sap Drink Carbonated Calamansi has been named a finalist for Best Beverage at the prestigious Gulfood Innovation Awards 2025, marking the first time a Philippine-made beverage has achieved this distinction at one of the world's most influential food and beverage competitions.

This recognition celebrates our commitment to crafting naturally sweet, low-glycemic index beverages without artificial additives. By harmonizing indigenous Philippine calamansi with organic coconut flower nectar, we've created more than just a refreshing drink – we've pioneered a new category in functional beverages that proves wellness and exceptional taste can coexist.

This refreshing drink is made using organic coconut flower nectar, carefully harvested to preserve its natural goodness. Its precise harvesting process guarantees a sustainable, high-quality ingredient that elevates both flavor and functionality.

"The innovation happening in the Philippines deserves global attention," shares Christian Eyde Moeller, CEO and Co-Founder of Lionheart Farms, the manufacturer of The Power of SLOW drinks. "Bringing a distinctly Filipino flavor to the world while prioritizing wellness, sustainability, and quality reflects our mission. We invite consumers to reimagine hydration and taste how much we care."
