Everybird Coffee

Specialty coffee roasters, Kōkako have launched a new dedicated grocery brand called Everybird, and it’s popping up on shelves all over the country.

The fledgling is taking flight with two blends, the bold and chocolatey Everyday Blend, and Half-Caf – a brew designed especially for the caffeine conscious. Made with a 50/50 blend of decaf and well… caf, it has all the flavour but none of the jitters. It’s ideal for 3pm slumps, late night study or work sessions, or when you want to drink coffee all day, every day.

Look for it at your local grocery store, or grab 20% off their online store with the code CAPITAL20.

Plant-based smoked cheddar

Giving dairy the side-eye these days but really love cheese? Angel Food’s new smoked cheddar alternative is totally plant-based and totally delicious.

Great on a cracker or a pizza, in a toastie or mac and cheese. The fresher-for-longer tub is resealable, reusable, and recyclable.

Angel Food is Aotearoa’s original vegan cheese company, founded in 2006 – way before plant-based was cool. The range also includes a regular cheddar, mozzarella, cream cheese and powdered parmesan. In the chiller at supermarkets across the motu.

Wai Mānuka

Wai Mānuka is New Zealand’s premium, non-alcoholic beverage which infuses mānuka honey with lemon juice and sparkling water.

A New Years Eve idea between friends, Wai Mānuka was created throughout the global pandemic and launched at the 36th America’s Cup.

Fed up with the lack of options for premium non-alcoholic drinks, the friends wanted to create something that not only looked and tasted great, but was healthier and told a local story.

The company have picked up major partnerships across the country including the likes of Government House, Kāpura Group and Sky Stadium. The goal now is to continue to build partnerships with Kiwi businesses that share similar values and prepare to enter the export market.
