Effie N. Thiong’o, Head of Innovation at EABL, says, “Our role is to disrupt and shape the future of celebration. This means identifying and meeting the needs of underserved consumers. We saw an opportunity where people craved more flavour and innovative drink experiences. Manyatta incorporates local spices and flavours – a source of pride for Africans – presented in a fresh, vibrant, and joyful way. The positive consumer response and the vibrant packaging that resonates with them are testaments to this approach.”
“Manyatta Cider embodies our belief in the importance of celebrating African culture,” says Faith Nyambura, Marketing & Innovations Manager at EABL. “We are committed to creating opportunities for African creativity to flourish, while offering a refreshing taste experience.”
The Manyatta Cider launch event, Passionate Pages Flavoured by Manyatta partnered with the up-and-coming music group, Vijana BaruBaru, for the release of their EP. The event featured live music performances.
