Silver Medal with NARANJA Y ZANAHORIA
"The awards were an energy boost for the team and the entire tribe of Valiente’s costumers. It’s been the energy to keep going, especially after the past couple of years of difficulties (pandemia, inflation, war...) and 7 years fighting to make known the kombucha and educating consumers. We have received many congratulations and affection messages that made us so happy. The awards helped us to build loyalty, open new opportunities and reinforce the most important concept that we like to take care, the quality of the product. We are still suffering, but we know it is temporary, and the awards have given us strength. Thank you to the World"

"Winning world kombucha awards has truly helped us gaining recognition at the Swedish kombucha market and also among fellow brewers. Our opinion is that, in Sweden, kombucha has a bit of a sad reputation due to variations in quality, and we have worked hard to introduce kombucha in a new way. Happily and without us knowing, our sencha, was chosen to be served as the non-alcoholic sparkling alternative to the Nobel Prize Banquet. It might be the first time kombucha is served at the Nobel prize banquet 🥂
Also, we are tremendously proud to be among the winners in WKA and take part of setting a new standard to the art of fermenting tea.
To our joy our sales have improved and we are now exporting products to Norway and Denmark - 🥂 "

"We participated to the World Kombucha Awards to see how our kombucha’s would do against other brands. It was less for being able to promote our products afterwards.
Having said this we have noticed that our social post announcing the winning of several awards was one of the most popular posts we have ever made on our social media. Some of our commercial partners picked up the post and reposted it allowing us to gain more credibility within their organisation and beyond. For us, this represents a big value as it intensifies the collaboration with our distribution partners.
The awards were also a (mental) boost for the entire team that has been working for over 5 years to get where we are today. The awards were seen as an acknowledgment of the industry for that hard work.
We expect to benefit more from the awards during upcoming spring and summer. During this period our communication peaks and we will (hopefully) be able to be picked up by media. One of our award winning kombucha’s was a limited release flavour which was only temporary on the markt. We decided to relaunch it upcoming spring allowing us to communicate again about the awards."
