Wave farewell to mental fogginess and bid adieu to butterflies with Ārepa, the all-natural, revolutionary new smart drink that combines neuroscience, nature and technology to support mental clarity.
Made in Nelson by husband and wife duo, Pete and Marleen, Pete’s Natural is passionate about making lemonades the traditional way. They fill a niche market, using only freshly squeezed fruit from New Zealand growers, while most other companies use concentrates from overseas.
They embrace what they call ‘fair trade at home’ which means when you’re drinking Pete’s Natural Lemonades, you’re supporting other New Zealand businesses too. Only New Zealand grown fruit is used, freshly squeezed, no concentrates from overseas, they look after our own farmers first.
They buy oranges from Hawke's Bay, Kerikeri and Gisborne as they don't grow in the Nelson climate. Other fruit in the drinks range, including blackcurrants, feijoas, lemons and limes comes from Tapawera, Golden Bay and Moutere Valley, while chillies for their Chilli Lemonade are grown in both Hawke's Bay and Nelson. The Kola is made from a Kola Nut Extract, also again made right here in New Zealand.
Pete and Marleen’s passion has meant they have taken their company from strength to strength – growing the brand from one to nine flavours since 2009. The entire range includes Kola, Lemon Chilli, Lemonade, Ginger Beer, Feijoa, Orange Berry, Currant Crush, Lime-o-nade and most recently, Raspberry Kola in collaboration with Ling & Zing from The Block NZ.
The lemonades are a healthy, nutritious, and delicious alternative to traditional sodas. They are gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan-friendly, with about 50 % less sugar than most other sparkling beverages.

Do you remember the ginger beer that everyone used to make at home? People all over NZ used to make ginger beer at home with a ‘plant’ or ‘bug’, and they still tell tales of it exploding in the linen cupboard or the garage! Hakanoa have made the exact same brew without the exploding part.
Hakanoa’s award-winning classic Dry Ginger Beer is NZ’s only shelf-stable traditionally brewed ginger beer. It’s all natural, is free from additives and preservatives, gluten-free and best of all it’s not too sweet; containing about half the sugar of leading brands.
The Lime & Chilli variant has become the go-to sober driver drink for Aucklanders in summer – it’s the perfect grown-up soft drink to take to a BBQ.
Hakanoa have been brewing their ginger beers for eight years and developed a cult following for these super-quenchy wild ferment soft drinks through hundreds of boutique cafes around the country.
