Californian firm claims fresh mint-flavored soda launch

Californian brand Minta claims it will create a new soda sub-category when it launches a new mint-flavored soda in the US this fall.

Minta founder, Jenia Kokotuhu, said: “Minta provides a refreshing quality and a taste that creates a new soda category in and of itself. We’re excited to share Minta with consumers in the US.”

The company’s product is based on the European habit of mixing sparkling water with mint syrup, and the new drink will be sold in an Original variety (sugar-sweetened) and a zero sugar Diet version (sweetened with stevia) and five calories.

Both products will be sold in 12oz PET bottles, 12oz cans and 355ml glass bottles.

“We’ve created a magically refreshing soda that is meant to be enjoyed every day. It also provides a great way to enjoy an after-dinner mint or can be used as a mixer for various drinks,” Kokotuha said.
