Jeany's Caribbean Elixirs is a premium Caribbean-inspired beverage brand. Our elixirs not only taste great but also offer health benefits to our customers. We are in a position to expand into specialty grocery stores, such as Whole Foods and Central Market, which is exciting!! You, our elixir family, have supported us from day one, and we are calling on your support once again.
UPDATE:
Our original funding goal was $30K. Due to generous offline donations from grants and angel investors, we have been able to change our goal to $10,000! Currently, we are right around the $7,000 mark in donations. All we need now is $3,000 in order to purchase a refrigerated, commercial cargo van to safely transport our beverages for deliveries!
The Problem
We started our brand in 2017, searching for fruit juices that reminded us of our grandmother's juice recipes from Grenada. Mama Lyris, our maternal grandmother, was the OG Master Herbalist in our family. Needless to say, we did not find anything on the market that stood up to her homemade juices. What we did find were tropical juices that were heat pasteurized, used syrups and powders, and tasted watered down. Those beverages may be in the "better for you" juice category, but frankly, they didn't taste that good.
