ASIAN INSPIRED FLAVORS

  • Yuzu

    Bright, citrusy, and here to wake up your run. Think lemon and mandarin but gentler — fragrant, refreshing, and rounded out with a touch of sweetness.

  • Lychee Oolong

    Juicy, floral, and silky for the miles ahead. Inspired by the jellies of our childhood with a balance of tea, fruity, and cozy flavors.

  • Strawberry Matcha

    From coffee shop favorite to starting-line fuel. An Asian American remix you didn't know you needed for any endurance activity.
