Six Barrel Soda Co. has collaborated with Common Good Coffee, a local roaster, to support regions affected by extreme poverty and modern slavery.
The new limited edition Coffee & Cherry Syrup is a sustainable soda syrup made with Fairtrade and organic single-origin coffee from Ethiopia, Central Otago cherries, and a hint of vanilla.
With every kilogram of organic coffee used in this syrup, $5 goes directly to Joyya.
The cherries for this syrup come from NZ Cherry Corp’s Cherry Rescue Program. This program rescues cosmetically imperfect cherries that don't meet export or local quality standards and then repurposes them for use in sustainable products.
Wellington-based Six Barrel Soda has been making drinks since 2012 with a strong focus on low-waste and ethically sourced ingredients. At the same time, since the launch of Common Good Coffee in 2021, over $300,000 has been raised for Joyya.
“We’re so excited about bringing this delicious collaboration to life! The Common Good Coffee ethos and their work with Joyya resonate with the Six Barrel team, so we’re thrilled to promote this message and do some good for everyone,” said Six Barrel Soda General Manager Amy Alexander.
“We love working with a local coffee roaster and using beautiful rescued cherries from Central Otago and bean-to-bottle Heilala Vanilla from Tonga. We can’t wait for you to try this tasty and sustainable syrup.”
"Our crew at Common Good Coffee are stoked to collaborate with the award-winning tea at Six Barrel Soda and have been blown away by the epic-tasting soda syrup they've created. This product and story have so much goodness; we can't wait for Aotearoa to enjoy it,” added Common Good Coffee Co-Founder Paul Fletcher.
Coffee Cherry Syrup is now available to purchase across New Zealand.
