SOFT MADE THE WAY SOFT DRINKS SHOULD BE MADE. With the best Fairtrade ingredients. All orga- nically grown and straight from certifi ed small farming cooperatives. So far, so delicious. But it’s not just the desire to slake your thirst with delicious soft drinks that drives us. We started the Lemonaid & ChariTea project to incite and shape the process of social change. With each bottle we want to make a small contribution. We want to change the world by drink. A little, at least. Beyond Fairtrade, every bott- le purchased supports our charitable orga- nization ‘Lemonaid & ChariTea e.V.’. So far, we’ve raised more than 1 million euro; money which the charity can now put to good use for a variety of development projects in the farmers’ local communities. In the winter of 2008, we took a deep breath and went for it: quit our day jobs and transformed our vision into reality. Just like the Beatles, our business grew up in Hamburg’s St Pauli, a bohemian and vibrant area then and now. In our kitchen there, we juiced limes, brewed , crushed , invi- ted friends over and clinked glasses. When all those glasses were drained, and much fun had in the process, they were ready – Lemonaid & ChariTea. As a result of capacity problems in our kitchen, and given that little help from seasoned professionals never hurts, since the summer of 2009 a small organic company in the south of Germany has taken over the role of fi lling the bottles. And they do it well.
