Frequently Asked Questions
What is Kaoba made from?
Kaoba is made from the cacaofruit - a juicy, flavourful fruit that surrounds cacao beans (beans that go on to make chocolate). We upcycle this often-wasted treasure into a naturally sweet, refreshing drink.
What does cacaofruit taste like?
Cacaofruit has a unique flavour that's fruity, naturally sweet, and refreshingly light. Think of a cross between tropical fruit and hint of citrus, with its own distinct twist.
Is Kaoba sweetened or does it have added sugar?
Nope! Kaoba gets its sweetness naturally from the cacaofruit. There's no added sugar - just pure, fruity goodness.
Is Kaoba carbonated?

Sustainability
How does Kaoba reduce waste from the chocolate industry?
Every year, 10 million metric tonnes of cacaofruit waste is generated by the chocolate industry that all of us enjoy. At Kaoba, we upcycle this by transforming the fruit into a refreshing drink, giving it a second life and reducing unnecessary waste.
What does it mean to be Fairtrade registered?
Being Fairtrade registered means we are committed to ethical practices, ensuring cacao farmers are paid fairly, work in safe conditions, and have the resources to support their communities. This is our driving force.
How does Kaoba help the environment?
Kaoba reduces waste by upcycling the cacaofruit and minimises our carbon footprint through sustainable sourcing and production methods. It's a drink designed with the planet in mind.
What is upcycling, and how does Kaoba use it?
Upcycling is about transforming what's considered waste into something valuable. At Kaoba, we take the often-discarded cacaofruit and turn it into a delicious, refreshing drink, reducing environmental impact in the process.
