BAQUA: delicious prebiotic drinks 

The ancient grains in Baqua’s drinks have been delivering health benefits for over 2,000 years. Medical studies indicate that whole grains help support heart and digestive health. Today's consumers are reading labels to critique ingredients, and looking for natural products that deliver body benefit. Baqua's newest lines of drinks contain our original six supergrains--amaranth, quinoa, chia, oats, millet and buckwheat--plus another of the world’s oldest and most sustainable crops - HEMP! Our new Hemp drinks--teas, coffee, and shots--are rich in prebiotics from our crafted blend of ancient grains, and deliver therapeutic benefits from hemp. Baqua's hemp teas, coffees, and shots will be your go-to beverages for digestive health and enhanced wellness.

Healthy beverages sales are booming! The popularity of Kombuchas, which contain probiotics, prove that consumers want drinks that are good for your gut. Baqua contains prebiotics that nourish probiotics. Baqua is a good companion product to Kombuchas, and we believe Baqua drinks can rise in tandem with their popularity.

Our product is only as good as the ingredients we use and the message we send. That’s why we have chosen to partner with organizations that support veteran and farming communities. These charities offer a range of valuable services, including those that help combat the growing farmer shortage by educating, training and equipping veterans with the skills they need to succeed in the farming business. By supporting charities such as these, we’re able to give back to two of our most valuable resources: the farmers and veterans who have given so much to us.
