Lionheart Farms is proud to announce that its innovative coconut flower beverage, “The Power of Slow” by CÓCOES, was named Katha Awards for Food 2024 Best Beverage and received a Special Citation for Sustainable Practices.
This recognition was given during the 17th IFEX Philippines Media Preview and Katha Awards for Food Awarding Ceremony held at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) Complex, Pasay, Metro Manila on April 26.
“The Power of Slow” by CÓCOES is a Palawan-made all-natural beverage crafted from coconut flower sap, a natural ingredient obtained from the blossoms of the coconut palm. The beverage offers a refreshing and unique taste experience while supporting local farmers and promoting eco-friendly practices.
Meanwhile, Katha Awards for Food 2024 is a prestigious recognition for newly developed Philippine food products and food applications that meet three major criteria: innovative packaging design, product development, and market demand.
“We are really working for the next generation of farmers, without the next generation of farmers, I fear for what the future will look like, and we hope that this product can be a symbol to inspire that farming can be also a little bit sexy, and we hope to excite consumers around the world,” said Christian Eyde Moeller, president and CEO of Lionheart Farms as he received the Katha Awards for Food 2024 - Beverage Category on stage. “To all the people of Lionheart Farms, for the incredible work and passion that you bring to light every day."
In addition, The Power of Slow by CÓCOES taps into the growing trend towards natural and sustainable options in the beverage industry as consumers are increasingly seeking natural and sustainable alternatives.
Katha Awards for Food 2024 is part of the 17th International Food Exhibition (IFEX) Philippines, the country’s biggest international trade exhibition that gathers food and beverage experts and enthusiasts globally, offering diverse products, cooking demonstrations, and networking.
The Power of Slow by CÓCOES will be available soon at select partner retailers nationwide and on our e-commerce site.
