WALOVI, a plant-based beverage brand that has held the position of the world's top-selling brand in its category for six consecutive years, has introduced two new products at a launch event in Guangzhou — LEGEND-KING, a natural energy electrolyte drink, and LEMULI, a berry composite juice formulated for children's eye health. These two releases are backed by redesigned bottle packaging inspired by bamboo joints and traditional Chinese pavilion architecture.
The plant-based beverage brand's LEGEND-KING is positioned as a clean-label energy beverage that derives its sustained natural energy from ginseng and coffee bean extracts. The recipe contains no taurine or synthetic caffeine, with low sugar content and hydration benefits suitable for work, study, gaming, sports, and daily activities. LEMULI, on the other hand, targets young consumers by blending blueberries and raspberries rich in anthocyanins.
