Our Story From Random Conversations to Refreshing Innovations: The Story of Kicovera!

Oct 25, 2023

From a serendipitous encounter to a refreshing innovation – the story of Kicovera is no ordinary tale. Buckle up as we take you on a journey that started with a random conversation and led to a beverage that’s redefining the meaning of natural goodness.

As a food ingredients distributor, one of our co-founders – let’s call him CF – found himself in a routine meeting with the Head of R&D and a customer discussing an aloe vera beverage issue. The customer spoke of gaining a competitive edge for his beverage by reducing costs and mimicking a leading brand. But this edge would come at a price he was willing to pay – a significant reduction in the quality of his product. Little did CF know that this seemingly ordinary conversation would turn into a pivotal moment that would change the course of our lives forever.

Mentally reviewing the beverage market, CF was astounded to note that it was flooded with drinks laden with additives, preservatives, and artificial flavours, all masquerading as healthy options.

Amidst this realization, the seed of an idea was planted. What if we could create a drink that embraced the purity of nature, unburdened by unnecessary additives? What if we could offer something truly unique and refreshing to the world? That’s when the concept of Kicovera was born – a fusion of Sri Lankan king coconut water and real aloe vera pieces, with no compromise on quality or authenticity.

We set out on a mission to keep it simple and all-natural, ensuring that Kicovera would stand out as a beacon of purity in an industry cluttered with artificiality. The path ahead was challenging, but our unwavering determination propelled us forward.

Our R&D team worked tirelessly, experimenting with different formulations until we achieved the perfect balance of taste and natural goodness. It was a journey of dedication and resilience, with moments of trial and error that we now look back on with a smile.

At the heart of Kicovera lies our commitment to simplicity. No artificial flavours, no preservatives – just the pure essence of Sri Lanka’s finest offerings. The infusion of real aloe vera pieces into king coconut water results in a beverage that not only hydrates but also nourishes from the inside out. Our sleek glass bottles aren’t just for show, either. They’re a statement of our commitment to the environment. We’re all about promoting upcycling and recycling because being good to yourself also means being good to Mother Earth!

As we journeyed from that random conversation to the shelves of stores, we encountered a few hilarious bumps along the way. There were moments when we questioned our sanity, but hey, that’s the stuff of great stories, right?

With each milestone we achieved – from finalizing the product formulae to obtaining certifications and launching Kicovera in international exhibitions – our belief in the power of naturalness grew stronger. The positive impact we sought to make extended beyond ourselves and into the lives of our consumers and the community.

Through Kicovera, we strive to uplift small communities and farmers, promote environmental sustainability through CSR initiatives, and create awareness about marine pollution through beach clean-ups. It’s a journey of responsibility and accountability, as we aim to be good not only to ourselves but also to the world around us.

We believe in sipping on the goodness of life, keeping it simple, and doing good for the planet. So join us, spread the word, and let’s raise a glass to a healthier, happier, and more natural world! Cheers to Kicovera, the drink that’s taking the world by storm, one refreshing sip at a time!
